[@gracelilyyoshua328]

Thank you 👍 Please 📍 We usually add 🥚 Sometimes mushrooms

[@gracelilyyoshua328]

Please do the fish 🐟🐠 version too 💗

[@KC-qu6oh]

My family usually make this with dried shiitake mushrooms, lop cheung, and top it with salted fish or dried scallops. Definitely Cantonese comfort food!

[@jintan3216]

Great, remind me of my mom's cooking. We usually add eggs too

[@sailee9510]

😅

[@brandyboo]

I just love they way you can actually feel the love from this family interacting. Such proud Grandparents it is lovely...

[@lindaliang3825]

I admire the way Mr. Lau cooks everything from scratch. He controls how much ingredient he adds or which ingredients he adds. Just great watching him cook!

[@andersonomo597]

I'm enjoying seeing your beautiful little boy growing up as much as I'm enjoying watching Daddy Lau sharing his wisdom!

[@lindalee9185]

Randy, you and your family are so lucky. Your dad, not only a good chef, but is also health- conscious. He knows which part of the pork is good for this dish. And he cares about the amount of oil to be used (in previous vlogs) You know, traditional Chinese chef always cook over-oily food.

[@MichaelJin74]

People may think steamed meat doesn’t sound appealing but trust me, it’s really surprisingly amazing. Daddy Lau makes the bling bling version! This is great comfort food. BTW, thanks for the soaking tip. I usually soak and rinse my meats before I fry, bbq, etc.. but never thought of doing it with this. Thanks again.

[@PostPatriot1978]

Its because they are thinking of the lean meat, health craze that doesnt allow flavor. The restaurants I worked in when it was a teen would all poach the bird, fish and pork in bone stock befor they cooked it to add flavor. I think its an old upper class club house prep technique, and it may be forgotten or discarded as being inefficient. But if you have ever had a simple roast chicken that has been poached and then slow basted on a rotisserie with a bouquet of fresh herbs and Demiglace and finished with truffle butter you will never want another again. I will be trying this for sure!

[@BomberFletch31]

The only steamed meat I don't like is the beef meatballs you get at dim sum restaurants. But that may be because I hate coriander (cilantro). I grew up eating steamed pork patty and it's one of my favourite dishes.

[@MichaelJin74]

@@BomberFletch31 OMG! That was the dish I hated as well. I found it overpowering. Since I gotten older I don’t mind it as much. Something about the combination of flavours even today I hate. I love cilantro that I can eat it raw and pile it on my Vietnamese food but something about those meatballs were terrible even today. Maybe it’s was too traumatic for me. Lol

[@yaoming2264]

Dude just think of it as meatloaf just steamed instead of baked.

[@Firebear31]

As a German, i also thought "hm not sure about this" when my gf cooked it for the first time but it was so good and it doesn't make shanghuo 上火 xD

[@uncaringbear]

Thank you! This is the kind of home style cooking that I miss and it's wonderful seeing Papa Lau's version! The best part is drizzling the juicy liquid over the rice!

[@goyurin]

My family's comfort food. It's nice to see Lau's family eating together sharing these family dishes, it's so heartwarming. Thanks for making this channel, watching the videos making me missing my mom a lot, cause my mom used to cook these dishes for us. I'll try recreate them with your tutorials. ❤️

[@Den-pp8tw]

From a Lau in Singapore- Thank you so much to document all these. You are are preserving a piece of our culture .Cheers

[@KhornPark88]

Wonderful food. I love it. Your father is a super chef and a living God

[@cdawg_sf]

Love the OG toi San recipes . My grandmother used to make this all the time.

[@helenlee9991]

Love the fact that your cooking traditional Cantonese dishes from Toishan. Cantonese meals almost always include soups with every meal when I grew up. Can you provide traditional soup recipes and comment on their nutritional benefits? There are soups that cool the body when too hot, warm when too cold, soups to heal and build the immune system, soups for beautiful skin, etc. I understand many of these soups have traditional herbs and spices, but it's well worth the effort. Healing soups have become a lost art and would love for Lau to share more soup recipes. Thank you.

[@getme2morenow565]

Oh wow yes I absolutely agree. I remember having soups all the time when growing up. It is definitely a lost art in my view. There is a certain soup I am thinking about at this moment, you buy the package of dried ingredients which have like 6 or 7 did things in it and you cook it with whatever soup bones you can get a hold of. I'm sure it is good for health as well as very delicious.

[@theonetruesarauniya]

Thank you for sharing your father and culture with us. I am beyond grateful for your bond with your parents. It's absolutely magnificent. It often brings me to tears. My dad passed when I was quite young and I sometimes feel very lost with my Egyptian side. My mom does her best but I wish i would've been able to know his favorite foods or how he made things for mom. I wear my Nigerian and Egyptian heritage with pride and honor. I am grateful for that to have been bestowed upon me. Please be kind, loving and patient with your parents if able. You only get them once and if they are and have been good to you please be even better to them. Cherish them with your entire being. I would give almost anything for just an hour with my grandpa and father.

[@georgeshibley9529]

What a goldmine of information, technique, and taste. Very lucky to have these videos on youtube

[@sakunasangchareonkul9241]

Thank you very much. My husband is from Xinhui. I’d cooked many dishes from many chef from KZbin. This is the first one that he ate it all. He said it make him feel like home.

[@shukuli5339]

YAY this makes me SO HAPPY - another pork patty recipe to try! My grandmother made this all the time when I was growing up, she'd use Tianjin preserved vegetables (tung chye), and even diced cuttlefish sometimes, and yes, the water chestnuts for crunch! This is another recipe to try in the next few weeks, to add to my collection of pork patty recipes!

[@nobleterry]

Absolutely one of the best videos I've ever seen about cooking! So much fantastic information during the Q&A segment! Such a simple, yet technical dish, but I've learned so much from this and I don't think you'd get this kind of detail anywhere! Thank you for sharing your father's/sifu knowledge with us!

[@Chezay586]

I miss my grandmother's yook Beng. She used pickled mustard in her pork patty as well. Your family is lovely 💕

[@keegswong]

This brings me back to my childhood!!! OMG I didn't know you could crush water chestnuts like that, an amazing pro tip!!! Thanks

[@Michwsk88]

Can this be done with beef as well? I don't eat pork.

[@lskwong9113]

The way Daddy Lau interacts with Hong Doi and Randy got me in tears. I'm very happy for you all that there's so much love and genuineness in your family 💕💕💕

[@a2offsuit]

Another great video. My late mom would make this with salted egg yokes or Chinese sausage or dried salted fish. I really like the dining part.

[@marieg2g]

Today, I cooked this. My hubby who is not eating pork ate this. In fact, he is almost fighting with me to eat this as I did not cook much. Thank you very much, Senior and Junior Lau for this video. I learned to do this differently and it is so soft, tender and juicy.

[@colourrain1221]

My late grandma would make salted fish steamed pork very often and it was one of the most savoury, delicious things I had growing up. I was craving for it while studying overseas and tried to recreate it with the salted fish my mom packed but I didn’t spread the salted fish evenly so there were extremely salty and extremely bland patches 😂 Your dad reminds me so much of my grandma in terms of mannerisms, speech, and cooking style. Really miss her. Love this video!

[@marlene1854]

Thank you! I'm going to try making this for my parents! I love the Q & A at the end of your video too, because I wondered the same questions.

[@wendeln92]

This was wonderful!!! After experiencing so many restaurants and take-out places I really want to know what people eat at home and it seems this steamed pork patty is very common. I recently tried one version but I used ground pork - not much fat and came out dry and tough). I like the idea of addiing some vegetable elements to it in the form of water chestnuts, scallion and mustard root. Tips that stuck I will try next time - Cut up a piece of meat instead of using ground. Mash the water chestnuts instead of cutting (never thought of this!!!). Rinse the meat. I did instinctually add some extra oil to the meat, oiled the bowl and spread a bit on top before cooking - just made sense to me. I'm pretty sure I steamed it for to long also.

[@jessicaf6649]

Thank you for this. Brings back fond memories of childhood. My grandmother would make this. She was from Hoiping/Kaiping. She just passed away at 107! We miss her cooking and appreciate your videos. Keep it up!

[@getme2morenow565]

So sorry for your family's loss.

[@dougchinn2820]

Grew up eating the same, except it was topped with a little bit of tung choi. Not too much, otherwise it'll be salty. The patty was made from ground pork, mix in 1 tbsp soy sauce, cornstarch slurry while chopping. Add a bit of chicken broth to keep the meat moist, and for more juice. Then steam. Lots of recipe variations. Definitely, a traditional homestyle dish. Won't find this in a restaurant. Brings back memories.

[@iamnotfooled]

I steam the minced pork with Tung choi. It’s excellent too

Man does this bring back memories of childhood. Daddy Lau reminds me so much of my own dad, and that adorable moment at 10:46 where he kissed Hong Doy's tiny hand, hit me right in the feels 🥺❤️

[@Carrol1997]

My grandfather always added chopped Chinese sausage. So good. This is one of my favourite dishes.

[@chefdezishere]

This dish will always remind me of my Cantonese grandmother and the first proper dish I learnt to make as a child as I really love it. My grandmother was a great cook but I was not old enough to learn from her proper before she passed away. I'm thankful for your channel as it helps in the techniques as I try to recreate some of my grandmother's dishes from the flavours that I remember. Thank you, Lau family!

[@dxseven4159]

Thanks so much for these recipes. Particularly this one. I worked in a Cantonese restaurant in the 70s and this was often served for family meal - really loved this!

[@crystalcai6314]

Such a wholesome family 😊

[@tasya2353]

This is literally what I grew up with. My mom used ground meat and didn't put in water chestnuts and ja choi, but it's good to know this dish is also enjoyed someplace else. 😊

[@MK-zz1dt]

Yeah, usually only the meat.

[@thihal123]

My mom did the same! One difference is she would use two cleavers to move the pork.

[@PistNRods]

Same here. With ground beef or pork.

[@rsaa2096]

I am so thankful for your channel because I'd love to make this for my kids and hopefully they can make it for generations to come.

[@emilychew8782]

Your videos are great cos Daddy Lau gives reasons as to why he's cooking it a certain way e.g. fill water in the kuali so that it just touches the bottom of the plate (so patty cooks faster). And love it that Daddy Lau's cooking is health conscious too e.g. use pork shoulder and not pork belly as its pork belly is too fat. I'm a fan!!

[@cindywu4108]

I love this dish and you presented it so well. Your dad is the best.

[@elainev670]

Just tried this recipe with Mui Choi and pieces of pork chop I found in the fridge. The result is amazing. My kids love it. Pork chop wasn't the best cut for this dish but it was still amazing for the kids. There were 2 interesting things in this video. 1. Daddy Lau used the expression " faau chai". Goodness, it has been eternity since I heard someone use this to describe "not a big city". Reminds me of how my grandmother used to speak. 2. Mummy Lau said this dish isn't a dish that requires a lot of technique 😅. Just like every Cantonese family, we will always have that someone who will be able to say the "one needle and blood will seen" expressions. That's Mummy Lau for us😂

[@karenng5108]

Made this for dinner. Awesome results. The meat is very tender, just perfect. I substituted the mustard with salted fermented black bean. Thanks ❤❤

[@jessical972]

Thanks so much for this content! I believe my parents are from the same area or very close. It is kind of hard finding the variations of Chinese food specific to that region. When your dad talks about recipes it feels a lot like when my dad taught me how to make this dish (although way less fancy because he would just do the meat and sauce and it'd be for congee). Whenever your dad is teaching it makes me nostalgic of when I am home and encourages me to go see my family. I pull up this channel whenever I miss home. Throughout life I think my daily meals have been getting progressively more western (especially since my partner is of European descent) so it is such a beautiful thing to taste the meals of my childhood breakfasts and lunches again

Just a small comment for correction: 1:18, it should be "Toishan, 台山", rather than "taishan, 泰山". 泰山 is in Shandong Province.

[@Dp74-rfs51s6-l]

In mandarin (pin yin), 台山 and 泰山 are both “TaiShan”. The former is second tone and the latter is the fourth

[@jyee2942]

The correct and official name is Taishan (Putonghua name}. If you will listen carefully to the mother at the time stamp we pronounce Taishan as HOISAN in our language. Toisan is the cantonese (Guangzhou and Hong Kong) pronunciation for Taishan. People from Taishan say Hoisan in the local language. Hope that clarifies the pronunciations and spelling

I been making this but my version of it. Won't matter how you make it, it turn out good. Just making sure you get everything prep is the best way. Have other ingredients or side dish will make the stream pork taste so tasty. Never never eat by itself with just rice, could be salty because the ratio of ingredients to the meat.

[@PistNRods]

I make a version of this with ground beef or ground pork. Mixed with soy, shioxing wine and green onion. I top it with a few cracked eggs (not scrambled) and steam. I just call it a Chinese meatloaf, been having it since I was a kid. Served over white rice. My mom says the same as yours, that the juice you mix with rice for small kids. They said that’s very common in China.

[@burptothankthecook8005]

When I was a kid, my family would make this every second day for the supper meal. My grandmother would rough cut the pork and give it to me on a cutting board with 2 Chinese cleavers, and I had to chop it into minced meat. Using 2 cleavers alternating like a drum roll is a classic Chinese cooking technique. Nowadays, I use store bought ground pork as it is more convenient, though the texture is a little different. Still tasty regardless.

Man, I grew up eating this stuff. I made it at least once a week during college and post grad work. It may not sound appetizing, but I think the better equivalent is to think of this as a meatloaf. And even then, that doesn’t quite capture it. If you like Chinese flavor generally, You’ll like this. It’s definitely a comfort food for us Southern Chinese.
