This is a very common mistake but your get the soy wrong character in your subtitle, it should be 豉 not 鼓. ;) EDIT: If you need someone to do a check on your subtitle, I guess I could spare a little time for you. I am willing to do that is because I have upmost respect to all the Chef who doesn't get their recognition they deserve. Also I am a Cantonese, there is no excuse to help out a fellow from the same origin. :D

Honestly, the lack of whys could turn a family into a dysfunctional one. Children are super capable of learning and I myself grew up in a family where my parents didn't bother to explain why things are to us. Down the road, everyone harboured a lot of resentment toward each other and it's pretty sad for me.

I’m glad your capturing his recipes and wisdom…I was too young to think of that with my gramps. 💕
@MrCougar214 2 жыл бұрын
I love it. A man straight from China telling everyone there are many different ways of making these noodles. While Americans sit here thinking they know it all and proclaiming "THAT'S NOT HOW THEY MAKE THEM!". I have gotten into many arguments over how to make authentic Chinese food and the one thing I always tried to drill into their heads is China is a big country with many different provinces and they have many different techniques with how they prepare their food so there is no one right way.
@fernwehtwl 5 ай бұрын
i may be biased but i think the best Chinese food is from Hong Kong / Guang Zhou cuisine. I have been to other asian restauraunts that are cooked by chinese people and they are garbage lol. They have no idea of using good techniques to cook well. Its impossible to find these good dishes in Spain

It might be fun to see a "reaction" video of Daddy Lau in the corner of the screen watching his son try to make one of the recipes with only a video y'all have already made for guidance! I'll bet he'll have some opinions, and it would also highlight the amazing skill Daddy Lau has that he makes it look so easy.

This is the best chow mein I've ever had. True restaurant quality. Daddy Lau is a gem! Randy, you did an excellent job with translating the instructions both on video and on your website. It is quite easy to make. Daddy Lau's technique of pan frying the noodles with minimal oil is brilliant.

I didn't understand. I have fresh noodles a friend makes. So should i still steam It before stir frying it? Its like fresh as in, they mix the water & eggs & flout that's it....
@00BeesKnees00 2 жыл бұрын
@@supergrllondon191 The recipe calls for "unsteamed" noodles which not fully cooked. It feels gummy when you nip a strand with your fingernails. They also have a light dusting of flour to prevent them from sticking. Cooked or "fresh" do not. If you're using fresh noodles and not sure if they need to be steamed, nip a strand. If it nips off clean and doesn't feel sticky, then I don't think you need to steam it.

I really appreciated this video for several reasons: 1. I have always struggled with making chow mein. 2. My father-in-law, who is also a Cantonese chef, can't really speak English that well so it's difficult/confusing for him to teach me. 3. Your dad explaining the tips on how to properly cook it has been a real eye opener for me. Subscribed.

Hey guys I recently discovered your channel. Just want to say thank you for featuring your dad's cooking and his recipes! There's something really meaningful about watching some of my childhood recipes being recreated on new media and in Cantonese! It's incredibly nostalgic and I feel connected to my culture and heritage whenever I watch your videos. Having migrated away from home and losing touch with families, I'm grateful that I now have the resources to recreate those flavours I've yearned for but never thought I could taste again! My personal favourite is the video on the Zongzi. Man that takes me way back. Keep the videos coming my man, you have a beautiful family! Love from NZ! 🇳🇿

I was able to find fresh steamed chow mein noodles at 99 Ranch in Huston and made this recipe as written but added celery for crunch and sliced BBQ pork (next time I'll add carrots). It turned out so good. I've never had success making chow mein using other recipes (noodles were always too sticky). But Daddy Lau's tips really worked. I added the noodles to boiled water for a few minutes before adding to my hot wok. Drizzling the oil on the side of the wok helped eliminate stickiness. Thank you for another great recipe!
