👍👍Thank you Daddy Lau. For some one who don’t know how to cook this is 👍

[@ryanmerrill2273]

Thanks so much for the videos! What did you use for the soup base for this recipe?

[@the50-person]

Will y'all consider having a market shopping episode where we see how your father picks out fresh produce? Would love to learn from him. Especially in the selection of meat!

[@kimberlyplayer]

That would be great! Our Asian market here is enormous with loads of different choices. It'd be easier to go by sight because I can only read english.Thank goodness for the English speakers that work there, otherwise I'd never get done shopping.

[@deloreswilson1798]

I love the Asian people and their food.I want it to be authentic,not something out of the Caucasian imagination.I want to learn the beautiful,healthy simplicity of its actual Chinese cuisine🤔.

[@deloreswilson1798]

I love the bitter veggies.I love bitter melon.I love the bitterness.🤗

[@EVL-xj5vc]

Your dad is really generous in imparting his knowledge and you are a great director and narrator!

[@Instanence]

nothing says generous quite like making "recipes" specifically for monetization via KZbin and Patreon. I use "recipe" in quotations because anybody could make this dish. Apparently I'm a master Chinese chef because I was making this without knowing it. But hey shoutout to the KZbin algorithm for inundating me with this selfish greed

[@MultiFreddy34]

@@Instanence He is teaching people who have zero experience how to make traditional Chinese food. Yes there is a paid option. What is your point though? He also provides a wealth of experience and knowledge for zero dollars here.

[@HeronCoyote1234]

13:03. That was so sweet, your dad touching his head gently to his grandson.

[@jeffsalzsauler186]

I love how conscientious he is when washing and cutting the bok Choi. No detail is too small for your Dad. Great cooking is little things done right.

[@wreonchkusi]

I have been watching many of your videos and I have to comment on how impressed I am with your dad’s knowledge. He’s surprisingly scientific, more so than celebrity chefs who make “bro-science” comments like “searing seals in the juices”. Thank you for demystifying the art of Chinese home cooking

[@Lauratran1203]

What is the brand of your portable stove? Is it gas? Or electric? Thx

[@norasvihl5586]

I love the Lau family and I am so grateful that his legacy is here on youtube where he can share his experience and wisdom. Seriously. Also can he play the flute for us too? What talent!! What a great heart warming series. Thank you so much and many wishes for the best from Idaho!!

[@serenabussell8489]

Love this family and the recipes are super easy to follow as your dad explains everything as well as the why he treats the ingredients in a particular way. Thanks for being my new favorite Chinese cooking show. Dad has mad skills!

[@diaryofmesheilathesailor5514]

The best part of this video, other than the technique and recipe is when Daddy Lau put his head on Cam Cam.😍 Warm my heart as well. 💕

Happy to see you helping your dad pass on his knowledge. Keep the culture and traditions of southern Chinese going. Don't let it die out!

[@viviancee]

Genius! I love your channel, when I watch, I feel like I am at home eating with my family. Your dad's recipes are great and I can confidently make the food I grew up with at home for my own family. Thank you so much for this channel, for your family, and especially Daddy Lau!

[@TheMaster375]

I love watching and listening to skilled, passionate people share their knowledge - and your dad fits that bill perfectly! 💪 Keep it up, Lau Family!

[@sabichonex]

The love between grandfather and grandson is something else. Your dad really adores the little guy. And he's so solicitous of him; actually, both your dad and your Mom take such good care of him. Warms me to the cockles of my heart. What a wonderful family!

[@jeffschneider8368]

What a great family Randy ! Thank you so much for sharing these family recipes! Your dad is an awesome chef 🧑‍🍳

The moment at 13:00 when grandpa and grandson are bonding is SO cute!!!! He really loves the kid a lot it melts my heart every time😭💞💞💞

[@stellaywwang]

I’m so happy to find your family channel! The lady who took care of me when I was a child back in TW was Cantonese. I love her cooking. Now I can learn Cantonese dishes from your dad. How wonderful is that!

[@karenchan3964]

I love your videos where your dad speaks cantonese and your mom speaks english and cantonese to explain the history of the dish and how they grew up eating it in China. I also enjoy listening the conversation of your dad and the family talk about the dish and explaining it further.

[@reneezhang1983]

Greetings from Guangdong. I am so happy for Daddy Lau and Mommy Lau. I can imagine how tough their lives were when they first arrived in the US but lives are getting so much better. When I heard Daddy Lau calling you "son", I can so relate to my father. The love of Chinese pareat to their kids is so profound and reserved. I hope they will always be healthy and happy. Bravo to your channel!

[@sanyak4624]

I just made this recipe and was absolutely blown away by how delicious it was! I am looking forward to making this with fresher bokchoy next time!

[@seldomlyseen177ch]

These are the best cooking videos I've seen so far. I love the family dynamic. Daddy Lao's explanations of not only how but why has made me more interested in his cooking methods. I am looking forward to watching past and future videos. I thank you, Lao family.

[@jeri94002]

[@natmickan]

Not sure about anyone else, but I’d LOVE to see a “what we eat in a week” type video. You could even compare what your parents eat in a week vs your family (if you wanted to). Love the videos; finally I’ve learned the little things that I was doing wrong that were having a big impact on the final result. Thanks for sharing a piece of your world with us :)

Hi Randy! I really appreciate the repeat about buying, storing and using baby bok choy. Not kidding: I think of your parents with gratitude every time I am in my local produce dept, choosing to buy bok choy! So I thank you as well, for bringing your parents' wonderful knowledge to us all.

[@pwahyim]

Daddy Lau is the star. Danny I love your candor 💐 Together with your Mrs, Mommy Lau and Baby Lau, the production is perfect! Entertaining and super educational. Thanks for sharing the banter and love with us.

One of the little things we appreciate about your videos is that you show us how things are cut. Daddy Lau has the knife skills to go much faster but he's here to teach and not to show off how fast he can chop. Thanks!

It cracks me up when Daddy Lau pick up a piece of bok choy to show how crunchy it is. Love his enthusiasm and passion in making this video.

He reminds me of my Baba. I also love hearing him speak as it brings me back to my childhood. Makes me miss my parents. You’re so smart to film him and learn (and share!) his knowledge. I wish I did that with my Baba. Thanks for being so smart to do so.
