*Good video brother*

[@kennethzhen5994]

Could you do a video on 粽子 (zongzi) i think it would be fitting because it is close to the dragonboat festival (Edit) nevermind, i foundthe video

[@peoswriter1]

Can I just say that finding this channel has been a huge encouragement for me to try more Chinese cooking. I'm a 44 year-old Ohioan who never really cooked any Asian recipes beside the occasional Pad Thai, but I got a wok recently and started looking for good recipes. After trying some very poor ones (General Tso's recipe with no batter or frying -- what?) I found your channel and immediately knew it was my perfect source. After nailing General Tso's three times and loving the process, I now have 9 other Papa Lau recipes that I intend to try and I think that will just be the start. Please send my respect to the cook!

[@Regina-ec8cw]

After making this dish the second time and watching this video all the way to the end again, I really want to say your mom and dad are both good role model as a couple. Your mom showed gratitude by asking your dad to eat first because she said he worked so hard, followed by your dad, who said she also worked very hard. This is the best example to a good marriage!!!

[@masterwong3837]

In the 80's we lived in Repulse Bay. There was this seafood restaurant at the beach we went to very frequently. They had a dish called "Beef Chinese Style". It was with big, juicy chunks of beef and onions, ( I think with a few peas) in a kind of sweet and sour sauce. Very delicious. Never seen that kind of dish anywhere else again. Remembering our time in HongKong, I'll also never forget the trips to Lantau Island with their many seafood resaurants. It was great! Thanks for your videos, I enjoy them a lot. Greets from Germany.

[@phoenixdragon5154]

I miss Hong Kong so much. My last visit there I wandered around the old Kai Tak airport. It’s a park and cruise terminal now. I worked up such an appetite, I took the metro to yau ma tei and had this dish from a street vendor.

[@Vagabond_Etranger]

In Vietnamese culture, it's call "bo luc lac", which means shaken beef. But we don't have peas, just cubes of beef & onions, stir fry. I miss HK, especially the Star Ferry to Macau, Lantau. But I didn't live there, just a tourist for a few weeks.

[@stevethea5250]

I wanna know that dish name!

[@catchnkill]

It is not Chinese style. It is a Hong Kong invention and thus should be called "Beef Hong Kong Style'. Here is the recipe for the sauce: Worchestershire or Worchester sauce (a kind of British sauce) 1 teaspoon, water 2 tea spoon, corn starch 2 tea spoon, little bit of sugar, HP sauce (a kind of British brown sauce), 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, 2 teaspoon of Ketchup. Of course you need to cook it and make it thick.

[@Lavadx]

I really love Mr. Lau, he is the finest example of a humble, hard working, loving, caring man… He is what all men on earth should strive be become, the world would be a much better place… Thanks as always Mr. Lau!!!

[@kimapts]

The technique for meat cutting alone makes this a 5-star video! Thank you so much- this was immensely helpful! ❤️

[@RD-ml2xw]

His dad should be protected at all cost … I wish him long life and prosperity

[@christinebailey9935]

I really enjoy your videos. Your father is a great chef. I love to watch him make dishes and share them with your family. He treats his craft with reverence. It makes me look at food as something to enjoy but also treat with the gratitude your parents do. I have great respect for your dad and mom to be brave enough to move to a country with the hopes of a better life. Learning about your heritage is almost more important than the recipes passed on. For white people to see Chinese-Americans’s history and heritage makes us want to know more. Your videos do much more than show recipes. Thank you. All you people out there, join the Patreon group to continue the videos

[@fierywomanpacnw7004]

Big kisses for the visual on the grain of the beef, the how and why !!!

[@Gregory.Evans66]

I have made several of these dishes and the recipes and seasonings are spot on. My sisters have been wondering how I learned to make meals that are far better than our local Chinese restaurants take out. I finally told them last night and they are hooked. Thank you for all the amazing and delicious recipes. Your father is a true National Treasure!

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

I am so happy that I discovered your channel. I have adopted Lau as my other dad. I'm white, I'm American but I love this man so much. My real dad is okay with it Lau LOL! He's a BBQ man too. So we're good. He loves you too. My dad's BBQ is so amazing it would probably make Lau cry

[@Sk0lzky]

It's not my new favourite noodle dish but it's going to be my new favourite recipe for it! I love your dad's tips and tricks, and the part where your parents answer questions also provides additional info an amateur simply wouldn't guess

[@juliedeguia]

That meat-cutting explanation was clutch! Definitely needed that. Thank you!

[@amituofo2201]

This looks amazing and the font is fine, don't listen to haters

[@marig9236]

agreed

[@Hamoodulhaque]

I love beef lomein, I been eating for so many years.. please do spring or egg roll video

[@peoswriter1]

This is another Made with Lau recipe that really hits. I couldn't find fresh Lo Mein noodles at my local Asian food store (very surprising), but was able to get some thin egg noodles. I was concerned that the noodles wouldn't have enough flavor to do the recipe justice, but the sauce is so tasty and bright that even the noodles alone would have been delicious. That's two of this channel's recipes under my belt and I've got the stuff to make two more in the fridge. Thanks for making my new Chinese food kick go so well. I even bought a Chinese chef's knife so I can follow Daddy Lau's instructions exactly. Thanks to you and your family, Randy!

[@charlesboucher9533]

Plan on making this tomorrow. If other recipes are any indication, it will be great. I can't thank you and your father enough. There are so many junk recipes out there (books or web) that always seem to miss the mark, leaving out the most important aspects. I have been working on Cantonese cooking for over a year now and your father's videos and recipes are priceless to me! To my mind he is the "Jaques Pepin" of Cantonese cooking. Thank you!

[@chrisandersen5635]

Delish. Great presentation as usual. Papa Lau is a great teacher!!

[@scottfletcher1956]

I love Chinese cooking. So simple and easy yet ungodly delicious. This dish looks amazing.

[@rspystudio]

if you dig deep down, its so much harder than you think. Temperature control is super hard, heat inductor just doesn't get hot enough, and there are so many dishes are not available to make at home like 炸子雞. Watch LaoFanGu, they are celebrity cooks in China, it can be quite complicated.

[@dy7023]

Your dad is the star if this show. I always learn something from him, such as how he cut the carrot strips in this episode.

[@uniquesweet9934]

I learned so much and the dish was so colorful and flavorful. Can you do a video on how to wash or take care of your wok?

[@tntfamilyadventures]

We just tried this recipe! Both my husband and 2yo son love it. Thank you for sharing tasty Chinese recipe which I missed very much now that am living in US.

[@dretech]

Randy, your video keeps getting better!! I love that instructions about cutting the beef in particular. Btw, can you please ask your dad to make Pei Par Tofu next? Thank you.

Family is everything, congratulations on your Childs birth. I pray for the continued health of your elderly. You have a beautiful village raising that child. He will grow up well rounded surrounded by all hat love!!! Thank you so much for sharing your culture.:)

[@Joedem92]

I watched this video a day after you released it. That same day, I bought a wok on Amazon, determined to make this dish. I made it yesterday and yes, I can confirm, it’s my new favorite noodle dish. Now that I have the wok, I’m going down the line and making Chinese food at home a few times a month. The prep time was the most time consuming part but if you’re like me and find cutting vegetables kind of therapeutic, it’ll be a breeze! Thank you for what you do, especially the website, as a written recipe made an already easy recipe that much simpler!

[@jerridandangela]

Can you tell me the exact kind of noodles you used in this recipe? Thanks so much!

Oh my gosh this recipe is so delicious Such a good dish You guys are excellent another delicious one on the books

Great recipe. Adding the snow peas and bell peppers is a great idea. Will try it next time I have beef in the fridge

My dad immigrated from HK in the late 60s and has a very similar cooking style! I love showing him every new video that you guys put out 🤩

[@Bangladesh39]

*Assalamualaikum how are you all thank you all for giving me a very nice video*

[@TizonaAmanthia]

it's interesting, watching several videos, and understanding the foundations. the beef is prepared a certain way, the marinade, and sauce is basically identical to broccoli beef, and a handful of other stirfry dishes. there's the variations on the theme, what with snow peas and noodles incorporated, but I see the common elements, too. That said, it's also good to know what varieties there are, like do you cook beef with ONLY that "brocoli beef" type marinade and sauce pair? what are some alternatives? maybe it's time for a few that are SPICY.

[@Norcal_a90]

Great content as usual 👌🏽

[@nirohomecookingsrilanka]

[@sammydavis408]

[@jinglecat3678]

I like to add the sesame oil to the noodles while their in the strainer to keep them from sticking together

[@majestic6303]

You can finish the noodles by drizzling sesame oil. Sesame oil taste can be a bit over powering, don’t add too much

[@lilliputlittle]

That was the most delicious beef mein that I've ever made. I changed up the veggies a bit to use up the last small broccoli crown and half a red bell pepper that I had in the fridge. I was down to the very last dregs of dark soy sauce so I used some soy paste to make up the difference. I think I'll make it the same way the next time since it was so yummy.

[@chaka3084]

Looks good! Does your dad have a recipe for chee cheong fun? (hope that's correct) Its the steamed flat rice noodles with fillings. Thank you!

[@abigailhamilton4925]

Dang it is delicious! Best lo mein❤ i have ever had. Made it to today and even though i messed up the meat, it was delicious. So easy

[@denrizza]

I was wondering if you had a Moo Goo Gai Pan recipie you could show? I know it is also considering a more Western dish, but I am curious how you would or have prepared it.

[@paullopez6620]

Glad you asked about the cuts of meat to use. I was thinking skirt steak or as we call it in Texas, fajita meat.

From the recipe link, it says 8 cup of water minimum. I dont see in the video where water is applied. Do u add to the wok when mixing the low mein?

[@roseivy7103]

I don’t know if you guys did a video on what types of soy sauce you use. I’m very interested because all soy sauce taste different. But great video. Definitely giving this a try. Keep up the great work.

[@rickylmoe4018]

I am a 70 year old black American and I keep my weight normal .I believe it's because I eat a lot of Chinese food ,the recipe have small portions of meat lots of vegetables. I love the soups, dumplings and wontons there's really not a lot of frying more sauteing this channel is over my head but I pick up a few things here and there looking for the uploads.

Was steamed or dry noodles was used? I don’t find thick noodles. Filipino markets sells the dry ones but it’s made with coconut oil which alters the taste.

[@ilykdew]

where do we get this kind of noodle? my asian store only carries the refrigerated cooked noodles

[@majestic6303]

Wow, I learned the technique of how noodles absorb flavor from the wet vegetables. - You don’t want the noodles to be over soft (it’s becomes over absorbed from water) and won’t absorb flavors from vegetables to get the tastiness of the noodles.

[@annej5699]

Thank you for this! Two questions, please: Would potato starch work instead of corn starch? And would rice noodles, bean thread noodles, or sweet potato starch noodles work okay? I have a family member who cannot have wheat or corn, but would love a dish like this!

[@catchnkill]

Potato starch will work the same. When marinating meat, it is the same. When thickening the sauce, it is also the same. When coating the meat for deep frying, the starch does matter. Otherwise starch will work. I haven't tried but I think your suggestion also works. We have local restaurants here to use instant noodles for these type of recipe. It works too.

[@shirleyl4944]

I love this kind of noodles but really hard to find in Chinese supermarket. May I ask which brand of noodle your dad is using %?
