This was one of my favorite soups growing up. I'd made it a few times, but I'm often lazy about making soup in addition to dinner (also, not everyone in the household likes seaweed, since I'm the lone full Chinese person in a household with mostly Western tastes). I've experimented with seaweed-based soups from Japanese and Korean cuisine as well, but my first comfort is the foods I grew up eating. My grandmother would make this with broth from boiled pork bones (stored in abundance in our freezer for everyday soups), dried shrimp, strips of pork, tofu and seaweed. Simple, but delicious.

[@oscarmax3242]

Thank you, thank you. These are the dishes my mother would make for us as kids and because she passed away without teaching us how to cook them, I thought the tastes were lost to me. Your channel provides such recovered cultural knowledge for us! I hope your family knows what important work you are doing with this channel!

[@OptimumServices416]

I'm a 53 year old jook sing. Thank you for sharing this. Please keep this channel going with traditional foods like this. This channel is a treasure for anyone that longs to experience their childhood again. For people my age it's near impossible to recreate perfectly because our parents are no longer with us. Keep up the fantastic channel and much love to the Lau family! Had to edit this comment. Looking at Cam please please please keep this channel going as long as possible. I feel that he will remember these experiences and one day take a good long hard look at these videos and want to carry on the legacy with his own experiences of your fusion cooking growing up. I'm sure you guys do fusion cooking. He will look at your creations as comfort foods for him as you will share with him what you guys enjoy from both cultures. He will not be the only one that experiences fusion food growing up. Hoping that he will carry on your channel and that the legacy will carry on for many generations because in all honesty your channel is very heartwarming. It makes me think of my parents and appreciate everything that they've done for me. Thank you for bringing everything back and hoping that this channel continues to carry on the experiences and the flavours of life! 👍

[@genehammond7239]

Randy your Father is just as heart warming as the dishes he creates it always a pleasute to watch him cook !!!

[@vincentc1509]

[@spacemonkeygaming5974]

Daddy lau is so soothing to watch cook such a wholesome channel

[@serenabussell8489]

My daughter has the same kettle as your dad! I look to him for recipes that I want to make. He is such a great teacher. I enjoy your family time at the end and seeing the baby grow.

[@Adashki]

I just made your dad's beef with broccoli dish over the weekend and it was SO GOOD! I've made it my goal this year to try and make all the dishes you've posted on here. Thank you so much for the techniques. Wishing you, your dad and entire family good health and more happy meals together!

[@derekzlam]

What a sweet family, warms my heart. Thank you for the amazing content/recipes Lau sook sook!

[@froggyjump2512]

i am not even Asian (from the Caribbean), and I appreciate the recipes here. Although there are other versions on other sites, your dad's recipes all come out great! thank you! Would love to here the life stories of your parents... especially when you all sit down to eat at the end.

[@courtneyfung3632]

This brings back so many memories of my childhood, soooo good! Thank you so much Daddy Lau :D

[@bekkahscharf5127]

I made this vegetarian- silken tofu and shittake mushrooms instead of shrimp and pork, and veggie broth instead of chicken broth. SO GOOD! And I felt my 公公 and 婆婆 with me while I cooked it. Thank you Randy for (re)connecting so many Toisan/Chinese folks with our food and heritage. Love love love your channel!

[@rebeccahuynh1982]

[@josebuenaventura6455]

Please collab!

[@e.h.332]

I truly am grateful for your amazing dad and each person behind this channel. I've been away from home for almost 2 years now (no thx to covid) and I've been missing my parents and homecooked food especially now that I'm pregnant. Just wondering, did your dad cook anything specific for your wife when she was pregnant? Would really love to get some food inspiration as I'm gearing up to nourish myself and the baby. The unity you have with your family reminds me of my own family where food is our love language.

[@ashlyho7252]

Thank you for sharing the recipe so generously! My husband likes seaweed soup and now I can make it for him. Thank you so much!!!

[@azoutlaw7]

That is just a powerhouse bowl of nourishment.

[@carlylekhan7007]

Love these more everyday recipes! I’ve certainly incorporated these dishes into our rotation and just bought the right seaweed for this today. Excited to try it later this week!

[@classiccityfinds]

Thanks for the recipe. I had the seaweed in my cabinet but didn’t know what to do with it until now. It’s so good!!!

[@stellatsang1871]

Very good to show the details ! Thank you !

[@tenki-no-ko]

Seaweed tofu soup and corn egg soup are the only canto soups I knew how to make. growing up. Love how comforting canto soups are.

[@SK1MD]

Thank you for your uploads. Enjoy the canto dim-sum dishes like steamed pork ribs, taro cake, and turnip cake immensely. Will def try making these dishes during Chinese New Year. Can you please upload more dishes on dimsum delicacies like 蝦餃、韭菜煎餃，小籠湯包，珍珠丸子，鳳爪，芝麻湯圓，杏仁豆腐，燒仙草/仙草蜜，different soups 煲湯? Again thank you so much.

[@annduong95]

My favorite childhood soup. ❤️

[@vivian9461]

Love ur video, one of my favorite soup growing up, the soup pair with yam rice so yummy

[@aznmmv00]

Hi Papa Lau, I would love to see you cook bitter melon soup and/or stir fry bitter melon with black beans! Instantly takes me back to my childhood! Thanks!!

[@CrownVictoriaNYC]

Even though this probably won't get many hit (because people outside the community aren't as likely to search for it) I'm glad you did. Classic soup. Watching these videos is a.nice way to close the week.

[@Soten_Bori]

My mom's never made anything with seaweed before! Absolutely dying to try this!

[@BlackSeranna]

I definitely want to try this!

[@anthonychen8870]

I’m a new subscriber and love the way your dad teaches and makes Chinese dishes easy. So glad I found your channel.

[@TheZoeteebc]

Thanks for the video. Reminded my of my late mom. She always cooks this soup and told us the nutritional value of this soup. I have no opportunity to learn it from her. While watching this video, i suddenly recall that she uses dry anchovies to cook the stock. Now i have learnt and i should start cooking this for my family.

[@FatRabbitCooks]

This is one of my daughters favourites! Must give it a go!!

[@fantasyfan6037]

Thank you for the new video!

[@susanhewitt6359]

Anthony Bourdain (RIP😢) said the best way to learn about another culture is through their food. I believe that's true, and I LOVE these videos, I wanted to thank you and Daddy Lau for the cooking lessons and learning about your culture. PS: I like to support small businesses so I'm trying those noodles!

[@goldship-121bn3]

很棒的视频，在冬天喝一碗温暖的紫菜汤能收获满满的幸福感！感谢你和刘先生的分享！祝你们新年快乐！ Really good video. Nothing is better than having a bowl of warm (seaweed) soup! Thanks for your and MR.LAU's sharing! Wish u all a happy new year!

[@MadeWithLau]

不客氣，非常感謝您的支持和祝福！老劉也祝福您與家人平安健康！新年快樂！萬事如意！

[@love-cn2tm]

Loving Mommy Lau in lavender 💜💜💜

[@loonluong7038]

This is one of my favorite soups, been digging around youtube to find a vegeterian version of this.

[@karinlee2033]

Really appreciate these videos since my mom doesn't want to show me how to make any of these. She says you just do it. I get that she doesn't measure anything but she won't even tell me the ingredients most of the time. I tried making seaweed soup before and it didn't taste right. Now I can try with this as a starting point and tweak for my family.

[@unknowndeoxys00]

My first seaweed soup was miyeokguk, thanks to Maangchi! I enjoyed making it with ground beef out of laziness lol. Tofu if I had some. My dad would be the one to suggest adding shrimp or mussels. I do wish I grew up with this soup, but now I love that I can make it as an adult. I actually haven't made it in months, and this video just reminded me. Next on my list, with either beef or pork. Thank you yet again for another warming recipe, Lau family!

[@Juvodotorg]

I love all your recipes! I don't know why, but whenver I follow a recipe, it never comes out to the same quality as restaurant-quality food. These recipes always come out equal to if not better! Thank you for sharing all of your recipes! I don't know if you've done any videos on the chili oil they serve as a condiment in restaurants, but I'd love to learn how to make it! All the videos on youtube come out differently than in restaurant and I just can't figure out how to emulate that!

[@GlobularGenocide]

Love the asian dad vest and dress shirt combo. My dad has so many 🤣

[@MYLOLA79]

Thank you so much for sharing this seaweed recipe. This another idea . Improve seaweed soup but always use tufo & mushroom only. This time I will try seaweed with napa cabbage. Thanks 👍

[@shigemorif1066]

Ooh, I always have wakame in soups. Definitely going to try that nori type seaweed !

[@xuanyobazi]

Yummy! Thanks Lau Family! Im gonna improvise to vegan soup

[@ramilvillarmiavlogs4210]

Perfect recipe

[@Anthony881985]

Love that you talked about yeet hay. I definitely grew up hearing about this from my Cantonese parents. I still hear it even though I'm now a doctor ;-). I think in Western medicine the closest thing I can think of to yeet hay is too much histamine or inflammation in the body from cortisol. It's not a perfect analogy but I think that it's sort of two different approaches to searching for the same truth. Keep up the great work!

[@isabel95]

Really enjoyed this! Thank you for the excellent directions and the options for changing ingredients. I wish you would put one of those "Thanks" hearts under your video so I can make a contribution from that link.

[@titojozen8118]

This looks really good 😊

Nice little explainer on yeet hay. When I was a kid and asked older relatives what it was, I'd get a "yeet hay is yeet hay" answer.

That looks good. I've never had it before.

[@katg-gk5ox]

This is Fantastic! I've been craving seaweed soup for a long time now and can't find it. The restaurants I grew up with always had it but not so much now. I'll be going to your patreon page. You know what I'd like to see Toisanese Hom Yu! - Hey! I just found your steamed pork patty!

[@Em-up6rz]

Thank you for sharing

[@johnkarraker4705]

Much love and respect from Santa Cruz! Can you have your dad make shui zhu yu? It’s one of my favorite dishes.

[@bigmike33gy]

Can I move in with you guys, these food really looks healthy and have me craving them

[@rinsenmon6146]

I'm from Singapore. I like to add minced pork and beaten egg into it. Some places add tofu or shredded crab sticks into it too so it varies.

[@QengisQuang]

Thanks for the great videos, can i also ask what can you use in subsitute for the dried shrimp?

[@annielam7150]

The seaweeds are delicious.

[@Hotsaucedeluxe]

I love this sou p

[@hennyoey-hidajat1763]

Thanks for sharing this recipe. Can uncle make Vegetarian Buddha Delight one day?

[@hellinahandbasket2]

Will you be making some delicious Chinese New Year dishes? I hope so!

[@eded2777]

Fish ball and Seaweed soup is kind of popular back in Hong Kong. We always find this soup in Chiuchow restaurants.

[@janner2006]

Throughout most of my life I've never been a fan of seaweed in dishes if it wasn't toasted. However, a couple of years ago my mom returned from China with some packets of instant seaweed soup and I was immediately hooked on it and I got really upset knowing that I can't find it where I live. But now, thanks to you guys, I'll finally be able to recreate that amazing dish at home! Sadly I'll have to omit some ingredients due to my mom's dietary restrictions (Buddhist diet) but I'll figure something out.

[@danbrownellfuzzy3010]

If I could find a Chinese grocery store in Wyoming, you can find one.

[@karenzhen3530]

[@vytuong6087]

[@AntWu]

LETS GOOOO SEAWEED SOUP

[@wisdomtoothfairy839]

I would skip the salt and add a bit more fish sauce for a lower sodium diet. I cook this way for my Korean seaweed soup, as well. Definitely skip soy sauce unless you want to darken your soup. LOL! And I highly recommend Lau Family switch from 3 Crabs brand to Red Boat fish sauce. The quality is worlds apart.

[@debbiei7906]

I love your videos but could you possible format your printable recipes so when you print them, there's no large gaps between the texts.
