Daddy Lau’s gyoza 🥟 recipe was PERFECT!!! 👏

[@_Wai_Wai_]

I think what draws people to your videos is the quality time you are spending with your parents. making up for all the lost time they spent working, while you were studying.

[@Taigatot]

It always warms my heart to see fathers who cook. My father has never cooked and always treated us as basically maids or wait staff who have to do literally everything for him, so it's wonderful to see a father who's not only passionate about cooking but also making wonderful food to share with the ones he cares about.

[@jjstarrprod]

In fact, in a lot of chinese families, the dad is pretty often a better cook than the mom, given that a lot of previous generation chinese migrants were working mostly as chefs in restaurants, and most of the chefs were men. Sorry for your familial situation. Hopefully if you find some chinese friends, you'd eventually get to hang out with their families and they treat you to a home cooked diner.

[@birdseyeview219]

@@jjstarrprod Agreed totally.In fact, your suggestion of him or her to hang around their Chinese friends and usually get invited to join in on their family meals is a good thing.Through food,a medium which all races,irrespective of creed or colour, is naturally familiar with, then we will be able to help one another understand each others culture and hence eradicate RACISM!! and Asian Hate Crime in the states and all over the world.

[@jjstarrprod]

@@birdseyeview219 Great point. No matter which people, food (and music) are always the 2 main gateway points to help know another culture.

[@samual8299]

Weird. To me and those I know it is perfectly normal for the dad to cook. My parents always shared the task

[@tonyyoung1991]

thats basically male chauvinism my dad, a taiwanese, also kindda but at least he like to cook he had a pretty good point about it you gotta take care of everything all by yourself at some point in life so know how to cook is definitely important

[@angelreyes0098]

I love how your parents interact with each other genuine love for sure. We will definitely be making pot stickers as a family in the near future. Thank you for this video.

[@cantobritt]

omg “IM BETTER THAN DEDI!” my favorite part 😂😂😂 amazing wrapping techniques from Mommy Lau! Thanks for sharing 💕

[@simonwong2346]

So nice to see Mummy Lau in the kitchen 😀. Everything Daddy Lau prepares is a “labor of love,” especially dumplings 🥟 like the pot stickers, siu mai, joong, won ton... anything that involves filling and wrapping! Truly “Made with Lau. Made with love.” Thanks for sharing this recipe. 🙏

[@CampGreyGoose]

This was a huge hit with my family. I browned them all over in the pan and they were they best we’ve ever eaten. I did add a little garlic, onion, and slivers of carrot to my filing. I made the wonton recipe also a few weeks ago as well.and you do an amazing job of breaking down the steps so that the recipe does come out successfully for the home chefs. I look forward to more recipes and videos.

[@jjli1105]

This dish has got to be my favourite childhood memories of growing up in Hong Kong. There used to be an old couple who will sell them on the street and is impossible to walk past without getting some. Uncle Lau reminds me of my late father, who loved to cook and watching Uncle Lau is just like watching my late Dad. Such fond memories. Thank you Lau family for making these videos so that younger generations can learn to cook them too.

[@chrisandersen5635]

Look at Mommy Lau having fun with the shapes, and proud husband looking on. So sweet. Love this channel, and I love pot stickers. Maybe now, I'll be brave enough to try to make it myself. Thanks.

[@gewglepluswhyigottachangem7042]

It's pretty easy although a tad labour intensive, not a little TV and/or a friend to assist can't help :)

[@JocelynneFlor]

Aww loved seeing Mommy Lau get involved in the cooking this time!

[@brewerwalton4062]

[@sarg2369]

oh my goodness I love this so much! Yes Mommy Lau!! I'd take cooking classes (even virtual) from your family any day! So beautiful! Thank you for sharing yourselves with us! You all are truly a highlight of my days! xxx

[@MichaelLaFrance1]

This is currently my favorite KZbin channel. I've learned so many tips and tricks, not only recipes, but also great cooking and chopping skills.

[@user-eh3mq9vi6n]

Daddy Lau comes through! Really appreciate his expertise These are delicious and the video and website are great guides to make at home. 10/10 would recommend.

[@TejaswinG]

Absolute quality content. Not only an indepth recipe, but grocery tips so I can make it properly myself. Great stuff and I love the family-style vibe you create.

[@bristolfashion4421]

so much work and effort - amazing ! so interesting to see how properly made traditional dishes are made, by someone who knows what he’s doing 😊 thanks so much

This is one of my absolute favourite KZbin channels and I swear, I feel like a part of this loving family when you all sit to eat and enjoy the delicious food prepared by Daddy Lau! 💖

The chopping techniques are AWESOME!!!! I can’t wait to try the mincing techniques! So cool! And the wrapping techniques were awesome too!! thank you Mommy and Daddy Lau for the amazing recipes!! 🙏🏽🥰

Your parents are so cute. I love watching their videos.❤

Thank you so much for creating this crunchy tasty session. It reminds me of something my mom used to make and I've always wanted to learn those intricate folds that both your dad and mom perform with such perfection!!

[@simplysoothesounds]

Awww I love watching these videos of your dad cooking and sharing traditional Chinese cooking especially as he speaks Cantonese and you translate! Your mom and dad are so adorable. I was adopted from China and never learned first hand much about my Chinese culture. These videos are teaching me so much about Chinese cooking and culture. 🇨🇳🥢🥟😊

[@theturningstar]

Mommy is so humble :) Lovely family, always encouraging one another xoxo

[@RhubarbAndCod]

Getting to see all those amazing folding techniques by not one but two incredible- although modest- experts is just fantastic. And so many handy tricks and methods! Thanks so much for this Lau family! Another beautiful video.

[@robertbennett1934]

I absolutely adore your parents! So sweet - and those potstickers look amazing.

[@hamstereyes]

Thank you for you and your family videos, it warms the heart and makes me feel like I am there.

[@achoraleofsound]

I like Daddy Lau's method of cooking potstickers. Pretty much every recipe I've come across for potstickers, the instructions are to get the bottoms golden brown, then add water and put a lid on it as fast as you can to avoid getting burned from the oil/water reaction. This way seems so much safer and it looks like they still come out really crispy!

[@MagicFishEyes]

You guys are brilliant. Keep the videos coming! It's so much fun spending time with your family and learning more about authentic Chinese cuisine.

[@0Godzillaswrath0]

This is a very sweet and equally educational cooking guide. Thanks for the instruction and to your family.

[@mlynlim5337]

Awwww! Everyone’s so encouraging to mummy Lau! Love it!

[@watermelon4944]

these were absolutely incredible!!! soooooooooo much tastier than what i buy in restaurants because i could adjust the amount of garlic , ginger and chill. I like spice, so i made it really spicy and i eat this with black vinegar and chilli oil

[@Cmon_Nah123]

It's a labor of love with all the steps he does in all these dishes. So amazing to see the wide range of food your dad can create. Thank you for sharing these recipes and his insights.

[@mariekeung7187]

oooohhhh! thank you so much for the potstickers recipe! I love those but never knew how to make them. I was intimidated that they were too hard to make, but as usual, Daddy Lau makes everything look so easy. I still am just blown away all the time by his amazing chopping skills. So fast and every slice he cuts is the same size. Wow!

[@uncaringbear]

It's great seeing Daddy Lau's knife skills - they're as sharp as ever!

[@asiolekb]

I love watching your videos! They are filled with love. Food is really connecting people ❤️ I would like to try making homemade potstickers but I don't think that store bought dumplings skins are available where I live. Is there something specific about this dough or classic pierogi's dough will be good too? (Flour, warm water and a little bit of salt)

[@tofubrain6593]

so happy to see Mommy Lau wrapping dumplings! she makes wrapping nicely look so easy...

[@christinebailey9935]

Another family star is revealed! We girls all knew Mom was just waiting for her turn! She’s fabulous!

[@maggiejetson7904]

My first memory of pot stickers was when I was in kindergarten. One day my dad came home late from working overtime, and he brought home a set of pot stickers along his commute. It was crispy with char bottom and full of meat flavors. A drop of oil dripped on my homework and the paper turn from white to transparent. It was the coolest pot stickers memory to this day for me.

[@RubyTwilite]

I love watching your Dad's knife skills! So impressive!

[@tdanielmorris]

Dumplings are possibly my favorite food. I'm so happy to see this video come out and can't wait to make my own! Also thank you very much for the tips about freezing them, very helpful!

[@moth_la]

They crisped up amazing!

[@LisaHoneychan]

Pot stickers, dumplings..if it’s delicious filling wrapped in a dough…I think it just might the one universal food that so many millions, heck billions of people adore. I’ve never had a bad one! It’s universal to humanity, but I think the Chinese have some of the best 🥰🥰🥰 Perogi is pretty amazing, gyoza is addictive. So, I think it’s one food that everyone can love with ease. Your Mom is a pro at her wrapping, too! I’ve gotten hooked on your videos, your family is so wholesome and everyone seems so sweet. Your parents are so cute together. Great job with all of your videos!!

I love that even as he reccomends a brand when asked he is honest and just says this is good and I use it but others can be good too. He has a great experience and expertise but never pretends for a moment to be an authority. The same goes for your mither as she demonstrates great skill, attention, and knowledge.
