The god tier precision with which your dad cuts the chicken into even pieces is a new level of goals for me as a home cook. So appreciative your dad shared with us his recipe for one of my top 5 all time favorite chicken dishes. Not even top 5 Chinese-American, but top 5 period. Thank you for this.

Thank you so much, this is delicious! I appreciate you pointing out that traditional is better way to describe dishes than "authentic", which is hard to define. I think people sometimes imply that dishes that are not "authentic" are not good or worth eating. It is nice to see you highlight the history of orange chicken.

Omg, I can't even watch this, the food he prepares is addictive. This kind, intelligent gentleman is the chef of chefs.

Thank you for going in depth with how to make Chinese dishes (ex. sweet vs. tart flavor variations) It really helps understand how to make the dish better! Also your Dad is great to watch (except it makes me hungry!!) and is adorable in how thorough he is in sharing his knowledge with us.

Amazing! I used to work at Panda Express. The breaded chicken comes in frozen like any chicken nuggets. However the sauce are made from scratch in the backroom with orange extract.

[@HRHBoof]

What I appreciate most about Made with Lau, is not only seeing how talented Lau is, and how he has a solid understanding of just the right ingredients to use, but the full translation by his son. Also, seeing the cooking itself and the textures is fantastic! Keep up the great work, Lau....you're a wizard and a genius in the kitchen! You are so appreciated!

Can't wait to try this dish. So far, I have made the General Tso and beef broccoli and followed your dad's recipe exactly. The results were much better than the restaurants food. My family of 4 only complains were that I made a serving of 8 and it was not enough. Honestly, I could have made 12 serving of the General Tso's and it would have been all gone!. My son 13 year son HATES broccoli but loved the recipe for the beef and broccoli:had 3rd and 4th servings. Thank you for sharing you family with all of us. Carlos Pinilla

I guess it was meant to be!! I happen to have defrosted some chicken breast this morning and was wondering what to make! I totally dislike frying so I will panfry these outside to avoid the fumes that linger for seemingly days in the house. I am so looking forward to the sauce! Thanks so very much! Continue success with the channel and brand deals/sponsorships! Absolutely love the new range hood!! Health and happiness to your family! Love it when I pick up subtle bits of your dad's Hoisan wah! Hong Doy is so cute!!

[@nomxxx]

I just want to say that your channel is very close to my heart as I'm very similar to you - my family's roots are Toisan, we are Sai Yup ppl and my grandparents are like your dad who speaks canto with that saiyup twang. I love it, so familiar. My grandparents ended up in Singapore so we've established ourselves here now. But it's so fascinating that the Chinese diaspora has split our roots and scattered it to far flung places around the world (I've met similar ppl from Australia, Canada, Uk, EU. etc) and amazing youtube has made this connection possible. The dishes he makes are all classics in my world too, and man, can he cook! I'm learning so much from your channel, I'm so glad there's a channel that is not from mainland china as you will have english narration. And then your dad's canto just solidifies the recipe. And so heartwarming to see he's imparting all these to you and us. What a gem! Pls say hi to your folks for me and also to Hong Doy! :P. - Norm from Singapore

[@litewavve]

Thank you for another wonderful recipe. Instead of fresh oranges, I use orange juice and Korean citron jam. Korean citron jam makes the orange flavor stronger and more complex with its slightly bitter peel in it. Since 50% of the citron jam is sugar, you will need to adjust the sugar quantity in the recipe accordingly. Korean citron jam is wonderful for making sweet tea, hot or cold. You won't find a jar of Korean citron jam wasted.
