I was born and raised in Hong Kong and came to Toronto years ago for school. Due to the pandemic I haven't been back for years and seeing you all eat together always makes me smile. Unfortunately, both of my grandfathers passed away before I was born so I never got to meet them. My last name is Lau as well so watching and listening to Daddy Lau teach us his dishes feels like I'm interacting with my grandfather. It's also very endearing to listen to Cantonese and makes me feel like I'm around family. The food on this channel never fails to makes me drool and thank you so much for bringing home closer when I can't go back :)

[@KanterLo]

Hey Andy, as Belgian raised by Hong Kong parents, I really love your channel as it resonates with my background and my love for food! My Belgian girlfriend uses your channel to make us delicious dishes. I also glow up when I hear your dad speak Cantonese :D! But what I miss the most are more veggy recipes, or at least more vegetables in recipes. Not critique, just a friendly tip to include more vegetables in your channel. Keep up the good work :)!

[@joaniemaloney]

oh my GOD this is exactly my favourite dish and not every place (casual places nearby anyway) offers it as a noodle option vs the other noodles!!!! okay, your dad always makes every recipe so approachable so i'm DELIGHTED. one of these days i will try to make it for myself. :)

[@PostPatriot1978]

Agreed. We have a lot of good Asian restaurants around where I live, but its hard to find any noodles but Lo mein. Recently though, there have been more and more chinese restaurants that offer hand pulled noodles, wide noodles, etc... or other staples in modern chinese meals. Even some dim sum if you look around. Not just the usual lo mein or chop suey.

[@winane]

This is in my favorite banquet dish growing up! We never cooked it at home. Thank you so much for the recipe!

[@chickentender4037]

Please ask your dad if he ever thought he would get so popular and famous as he got older? He's got a huge fan club and it keeps growing!

[@redeyeofthenightfall]

i appreciate these videos. be well

[@greatwhitenorth3717]

The way your mom reacted to the box...priceless😉

[@sdo55699]

Hong Doy: so many plates in front of me, I don't know which to choose. Plate 1, plate 2, 3, 4, 5...how about I smile and you feed me. Another aswesome recipe video. Thank you Lau Family!!!

[@edjiang]

Another wonderful recipe, as always. It was a pleasant surprise to run into your beautiful family. Wish you a blessed weekend.

[@kaorikanbayashi6390]

My boyfriend's twins are really picky eaters but love this dish (it's the only thing they eat at their favourite Chinese restaurant). I watched the video and it helped me, resulting in a thumbs up from each twin! One of them even said it tasted just like it came from the restaurant! Now if they would only eat the veggies and not just the noodles!

[@sleepingbeauty0000]

Love your family, especially your dad. I wanna take him home lol He reminds me of my father who passed away few months ago from cancer. I am dying for his cooking just one more time... 😢 Bless you and your family. Thanks for the video 👍

[@jomayusa]

Uncle Lau, thanks for the delicious noodle recipes. Love from us 😀🇩🇪👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@hyperj87]

Thank you!!!! I’ve wanted to make this for years and just was so intimidated! You remind me of my family and our recipes and traditions. Please keep doing these videos! They mean a lot to me!

[@RlKU]

Grandpa Lau is a gem to many Chinese American kids!

[@Nicole-gb4ze]

Yummy. So excited! Your dad is best cook! His recipes are so tasty.

[@Pswirl]

Hello Mr. Lau, I just recently subscribed to your channel, and thank you for sharing all your wonderful recipes. I’ve learned a lot on how to cook a variety of different foods. Again, thank you for sharing and keep up the good work.

[@swchang8660]

[@claredin]

Finally someone who speaks my dialect of Cantonese!

[@berniecelee5062]

Congratulations 🥳, Kam Kam is going to be a big brother 👏🏻👏🏻 . Wonderful news during our crazy covid years😁. Such a beautiful, loving family …. Grandparents must be joyous knowing another little one is coming soon. Love this dish ! I am going to make this for my son’s birthday. Please keep bringing to us all kinds of noodle dishes , we are a family that loves noodles.

[@Breadwub]

These are my most favourite noodles ever, thank you so much for this video!

[@elsalisa146]

Looking forward to making this. Your baby is just as cute as can be.😍

[@wisdronesingh4798]

Please do a video about kitchen tools - Knives, cookware, etc. I'm especially interested in what your dad looks for in a cleaver. If you have the ability to link his online i'd love to see it!

[@parisz]

Your dad has such an inspiring confidence!!!!!

[@nunyabidniss7661]

My favorite banquet dish but have only had it from a soup base form...never had it stir fried dry form before 🤗...thanks for sharing the recipe 👍...have a safe healthy blessed weekend to the Lau family 😘🤗😊💕

[@chugalaefoo]

Just made this tonight and it was delicious. Yi Mein is one of my favorite noodles at Chinese restaurants. Never knew it was this easy!!!

[@hollistantang9469]

E-Fu noodle? Wow this one is like a staple dish for celebrations in here

[@eggizgud]

I made a version of this yesterday, with nai pak choy (Chinese white cabbage), carrots, fucuk and egg. The noodles are already so flavourful, hard to go wrong. I didn't cook the noodles first, though. There's a style of cooking that merely pours the gravy over the noodles and let it 'cook' like that, so the noodles are still a little crispy.

[@arnikalm]

Thank your father so much for me! Living in Iowa, it can be hard to find good recipes. I think the Bokksu will also be perfect for my daughter and son-in-law.

[@RhubarbAndCod]

Wow! So wonderful getting to watch this spectacular dish being made. Even if the story of its history isn't true, I always enjoy those ones involving a happy accident of cooking. This was an amazing video Lau family. Thank you!

[@beatpirate8]

have a seen these yellow chives? i only see the green one… this is my fav noodles! im going to try this thank you!!

[@maggiejetson7904]

Yellow chives are chives grown in the dark (like white asparagus is green one grown in the dark). They are more mellow and tender as a result.

[@dAfoodie101]

ugh e mein slaps SO HARD. i usually have it with crab. this, dou miao, and salt and pepper squid is the perfect meal to me

[@likeakittie]

我終於識自己煮！😭😭😭❤️ 多謝劉師傅！❤️🙏🙏

[@dollyperry3020]

Looks so good! When is the baby due? Congratulations on the upcoming blessing!

[@sharonli9584]

I tried this recipe. Love it!!!

[@Taureanfitness]

Hi I love your channel your family story is just so heartwarming I think you're incredible people and I love the recipes.The only suggestion I have is you had the subtitles you need to make them larger because the average person can barely see the print. The color is white too so maybe black or more bold & larger font. But everything else is awesome!

[@wendychen7152]

I love E Min! E Min is common in Guangdong Province as well 💕

[@shalee7155]

your dad is such a good cook! and i love his relationship with you. btw where can i buy these noodles? i want to send some to my sister in another state. i looked on amazon but not sure if chinese egg noodles is the same as e fu noodles?

[@KristenDuen]

One of my favorite dishes!

[@restaurantman]

My favorite dish at Chinese banquets, even more than Lobster.

[@Cataclysm124]

Delicious! Love the recipe! 😋

[@elpata5544]

Todo natural muy bien don Lau

[@thundergod12]

Oh my god, yellow chives, it's way too expensive in Melbourne, Australia and it's really rare as well. 😂

[@MA-bg5zc]

I would very much like to have a recipe for sticky rice and your dad is the best

[@TizonaAmanthia]

I'm not a parent, and I never will be, I just don't do kids, but I gotta say, the way you guys shower Hong Doy with attention, it always seems positive, and not TOO doting, that I can only hope that it's just good parenting, that you're planting the seeds of being a GOOD person into them.

[@sapl13421]

Please do cashew chicken!!! We would love to see how you make it!!!

[@billydong9640]

Simply Yum.. no other words are needed.. what time is supper again?😉😂

[@gme_to_the_moon-v1p]

It reminds me of the line by Stephen Chow in 九品芝麻官. 幹燒伊麵食左未?

[@domoredumpling]

One of my favourite dishes is lobster e-fu

[@twobrownbears]

I just sharpened my knife with a whetstone and chopped my finger cutting a rolling carrot today. I had to go to an urgent primary care centre for sutures. Then saw this video. Appreciate Daddy Lau's safety tip.

[@HNCS2006]

Perfect timing. I just bought some e-noodles. And these are my favourite noodles of all time. 😭

[@parisz]

Yaaaasss

[@BomberFletch31]

This is one of my favourite dishes. I was taught that traditionally, the two types of mushrooms that go into this dish are straw mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms. Is that right? Also, it's quite impossible for me to find yellow chives, so I've been using regular chives instead - but obviously the flavour is quite different. I tried cooking it the other day, but I haven't quite mastered it yet. I couldn't get the sauce right. I'll try again using your recipe.

[@maggiejetson7904]

E-fu noodle was heck of expensive to order in Chinese restaurant in Hong Kong for some reason. I heard it was because it was a lot of work, small batch cooked to order.

[@xongyongaun1017]

What is the name of this noodle. Where can you get in Canada?

[@MA-bg5zc]

Do you have a good recipe for sticky rice

[@TheMabes69]

your dad is so cool

[@giantpedro]

The bubbles hahaha!! :)

[@angus43]

The much popular recipe we have been waiting for but any idea where we are able to buy e-fu noodle online? Google and check local Asian groceries to no avail. Thanks for the recipe.

[@catchnkill]

If you cannot find it, try instant noodle instead. Nissan brand instant noodle is good in this purpose and has been on local restaurant regular dishes for some years. XO sauce is also good for this type of dishes. If you use XO sauce stirring frying instant noodle, make it dry. Thus do not put too much water releasing vegetables there. XO sauce is a little bit hot. However you mix it with a bowl of noodle and it is not significant.

[@Mlndmfngy]

I found them on Amazon when I searched “longevity noodles”

[@matsumotoisabella]

The texture of the E-Fu Noodles would still be okay, after putting broth inside to cook with the bean sprouts? I used to think E-Fu Noodles can get very soggy once it’s cooked.

[@edna3236]

I will try to make this but substitute the noodles 🍜 😋

[@patrickrichardson4765]

What brand of Yee Mein noodles does your dad use and where do you find it? I was using another vlogger's recipe a few weeks ago for New Year and tried to find the recommended noodle brand at 99 Ranch. No such luck. I actually had to ask two younger guys (since one of them had a Cal shirt on I figured I could ask) since I had to guess at which noodle would work. When I told them I was making "longevity noodles" for New Year they looked at me quizzically and said that they didn't grow up making that dish and only used those types of noodles in soup. They were from the Canton area. My family and friends found it hilarious that two native Chinese guys and an American mixed Chinese guy couldn't figure it out. My only excuse is growing up in Hawaii!😂

[@catchnkill]

I live in a southern China city and it is also not easily available. There are noodle shops and will be available there. If you cannot find it, buy packs of instant noodle instead. Instant noodle is also deep fried.

[@susieangelo6410]

They're available at Yuen Hop Noodle Company in Oakland Chinatown, CA

[@JennixPenni]

I have been able to find it at Ranch 99 before but it’s only sometimes so I don’t think they purchase a lot in so stock is low

[@dgamings191]

When you’re telling them longevity noodle (長壽麵) it can mean a totally different kind of noodle that people cook for birthdays, usually white in color, non-fried, and serve with soup and an egg. So I’ll stick with the name e-noodle when asking about this particular kind of noodle next time to avoid confusion.

[@dougchinn2820]

Best E-Fu noodle dish I ever had was from a restaurant in SF Chinatown across from Portsmouth Square called Sun Hong Hern. Ingredients included mushroom, shrimp, char siu, squid, and bok choy, in a brown sauce over the E-Fu noodle. The dish was called Sup Kum Mun Yee Mein. The restaurant sadly closed years ago and I miss the dish. Does anyone know how to make the sauce. I keep experimenting to get it right.

[@jaydentong]

Congrats Number 2 is on the way!

[@iblessyou.forextrablessing7597]

Thank you.

[@HaroldWong]

How come you don't use the mushroom soaking liquid?

[@MissKelli916]

Can you guys do a oxtail recipe?

[@susanng3491]

I have asked about making the Yin Yang rice when you put out a question about tomatoes. Hopefully there will be a video of that eventually in the future. If not, I understand! There are so many other phenomenal dishes that needs to be looked at too. There is one thing that I can not find a good recipe for, regardless how many recipes and videos I have looked at. It is something I have grown up with, but no one in my family is willing to give up their recipe for it. Claypot rice. I have claypots that are in severe need of a great recipe for it. My rice has turned out too goopy, too dry. The chicken is not flavourful enough, or the gailan/babybokchoy is over cooked. If claypot rice is in the future lineup, please let me know! THANK YOUUUUU

[@MrBoliao98]

I miss wedding banquets.

[@fagtastic]

Yum!!!

[@La_La_La3]

Does Daddy Lau have a recipe for E-Fu noodles? $25 for 12oz of it at Amazon is beyond crazy. I can't go to Chinese grocery store right now.

[@SamTahbou]

Nice

[@johnmichaelreyes911]

Reminds me of pancit canton

[@restaurantman]

That makes sense since Pancit Canton is derived from Chinese (Cantonese) style noodle dishes.

[@nevetsmil]

Daddy Lau added oil in the last step, why not add more oil in the first step (to fry the ingredients)?

[@catchnkill]

To make the whole dish more shiny. For better presentation of the dish.

[@raineboe85]

[@will5989]

Look up the noodles of the E - fu mansion to get your story of the noodles origin. Secondly, apart from the dried mushrooms, the fresh ones you’ve chosen are not the classic ingredient. As a purist, I am disappointed.

[@alanvonau278]

*That dish looks like a big mess.*
