why dont your dad speak english? this is america

[@BU1Lander]

Your dad always ends the episodes by saying, "All right, Friends! (dish) is complete! I hope you all enjoy it! Hong Doy! Mui Mui, time to eat (dish)!" After watching him cook whatever amazing food he is cooking for the episode it always makes me wish I could join you and your family for a meal... Your family looks awesome and welcoming, and your dad is a great, and enormously talented man.

[@stevethea5250]

do you speak cantonese? 9:10

[@BU1Lander]

@stevethea5250 do I speak Cantonese? No, I don't. Honestly, if you do and you could tell me what that means I'd appreciate it greatly.

[@christinegu6753]

@@BU1LanderHii I do speak Cantonese :) Mui mui means younger sister in Cantonese (if that’s what you’re curious about)

[@BU1Lander]

@@christinegu6753 actually, I was wondering about the whole phrase.

[@christinegu6753]

@@BU1Lander actually the phrase is pretty much the same like the subtitles. it’s like “alright friends! The onion chicken breast is now ready! I hope you all like it! Hong Doy(probs a name), mui mui (meaning little sister), come downstairs to have the chicken!”

[@eyeswideopen7777]

I appreciate the dedication and sweetness that your dad put into explaining.

[@catherinebony-brandt8530]

Your Dad is an excellent teacher/coach. He really shows everything (I am a dedicated, passionate non professional cook). Thank you for sharing his knowledge.👍 I love Asian food, especially the Chinese!

[@goodguyaus]

I'm a simple guy - I saw that ginger (s)mashing technique, I like...

[@scottmcmanus1453]

I really like how he mixes things together with his measuring spoons. No pretense, just wisdom. I could hang out with this guy all day.

[@kj4726]

I know right!

[@elizabethanrose]

My goodness that baby is getting so big! I remember when he was just a babe in arms. Great recipe Daddy Lau, I will add this to my chicken breast recipes. It looks so flavorful!

[@Orycal29]

I am in LOVE with this family! Nummy eats, huge smiles and lots of Lau🤗💕

[@user-lp4cb9xt1e]

What an honor to watch your dad work. Nice explanation from the son.

[@normsnaman]

These videos are a love letter from you and your Dad. Seriously so beautiful.

[@vessel187]

I just attempted this recipe tonight for my family and it was a big success! My autistic son, who is usually very inflexible with new foods and demands ketchup with chicken breast said, "It's a keeper!" The chicken was very moist and tender. I substituted rice wine vinegar for cooking wine due to dietary restrictions with good success.

[@martinkayne9675]

He's Adorable! NOT... Just your Dad! Your little boy! It's wonderful watching him grow! Thank You. Marty from New Jersey.

[@crssd818]

Greatly appreciate you for sharing the science behind cooking wine. Thank you!

[@Hexcaliblur83]

Im a Chef and I remember when I first learned the skill of using a 'Cleaver' in the kitchen and how versatile it is.. it is to this day, my most used kitchen knife.. I will never be without it.. Also, I cut onions exactly the same way.. it just looks more attractive too..

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

The details explaining the function of cooking wine was MUCH appreciated. I saw your dad use it in his epic Garlic Broccoli tutorial and again in this one so that's two things I'll need it for, just as a start. I love these technical explanations so I know WHY I'm buying things at the supermarket and then in the kitchen, WHY I'm doing what I'm doing. This sort of technical, educational approach is what sets exceptional cooking tutorials apart from the majority online. Thanks so much for this one, so well done.

[@butterscotch1554]

oh wow, this is the most straight forward, clear, to the point demo i have seen. So much tips, thanks so much for sharing!!! (great editing too btw!)

[@AshUndone]

I made this for my family and they loved it! They don't always love the new dishes I try, but Daddy Lau made it a winning night!

[@unchainedq6939]

Just wanted to say thank you. Made this dish for the second time. First was good. Second was dialed. A big thank you to you and your dad for sharing! ❤

[@CCisRight]

I have the exact same bowl that Dad is making the brine in. It was originally bought as my Golden Retriever's water bowl. When we got a second Golden 7 months later, that bowl was too small for 2 thirsty dogs. We replaced the bowl with a larger one. We washed and sanitized the dog bowl in the dishwasher and it has been one of our favorite bowls ( just the right shape and size) for 14 years 🤣🤣🤣 im so glad to see our family isn't alone in this. The running question in our home is often "where's the dog bowl?". Right now mine is in the fridge holding my jalapeño harvest.

[@JoannaWysocka-p2v]

I LOVE that you go over how much time is spent cooking and at what heat. Thank you!

[@hamstereyes]

Randy, Dad, Lau team - you really put alot of work in these videos. I see and feel in the subtitles, the explanations of the cooking steps, and countless hours of pre/post production /editing. Amazing job! Unfortunately, now I am just really hungry, and I wont be having this until at least next week... lol

[@markputland6577]

Looks very tasty, loved the end, couldn't understand him but his love and excitement of it made me smile, great stuff🙂 👍

[@fedupwelsh7211]

What a wonderful teaching channel this is. Everything I’ve cooked has turned out so well and garnered many, many compliments. Thank you from the U.K.

[@yuletak]

Just wanted to add that if you're using stainless steel pans, you can do the water drop test to see if it's hot enough. If the water beads up and rolls around like marbles when moving the pan, then it's hot enough. Just make sure the food you're pan frying is close to room temp and not straight out of the fridge.

[@MilaC-ik1wz]

Thank you for making these videos of your dad cooking. I'm reminded of my late father who was a chef and I regret not learning recipes from him

[@homestarrunner-e9d]

Wow, never thought of the cutting with the grain of the onion will cut down the tears! Eureka moment!

[@jrkevinfang]

You and your family are awesome! your dad is an insanely talented chef while also giving clear explanations for every step he takes. Great channel!

[@lienhuynh7938]

Hi your dad is excellent master chef, he always showed us how to cut right/ cook right / and all the experience he got ! Thx Mr.Lau for share all the yummy foods ! U had a very happiness family god bet, so glad to meet u all!

[@omatti4782]

太好味啦！so tasty!! 剛剛煮左,兩個小朋友爭住食！I always love your video! And my family love your father’s dishes! Can feel the love from the video ❤

[@MadeWithLau]

好多謝您嘅支持！老劉祝福您闔家安康！新年快樂！萬事如意！

[@advancetotabletop5328]

Not too many father-son cooking videos on YT! Keep up the good work! Merry Xmas to your family!

[@davedunington7637]

I sure appreciate your Father's instruction ... Thank Him for me ... a great Chef.

[@bluestarzy1767]

I wanted to come on here and make a comment. Because it needs to be said. I just made this tonight on Thanksgiving day for my family (turkey was too expensive this year) and my mom is a picky eater lol like your dad. She has a hard time eating hard foods most of the time. Chicken breasts, fried? Was one of those my mom couldn't eat for a while because how tough the meat could be. Let me tell you. The chicken breast came out so delicious, so savory. And so juicy and soft that this will now become one of those meals that I can make for my mother! Thank you, Daddy Lau and your family, for allowing me to do this. I said it before, but congratulations on your channel getting bigger! One day when I'd love to be your patreon.

[@BunnyWatson-k1w]

I started watching this channel's videos during the pandemic. I am glad things are still going strong.

[@On3_Fons3ca]

Your dad’s cooking inspired me to start cooking his recipes for my family! Enjoying your videos.

[@user-ds9mx30j6a]

I just tried this recipe, and it was the best chicken I have ever had. Absolute 10/10. Thank you so much for sharing!!!

[@SootheSound]

Fantastic ginger cutting technique alone! 👍

[@jOIene_RN]

Loved your KZbin channel. I am now hooked after watching it for the first time. I have to purchase your dad’s knife. Thank you so much for great recipes!!! ❤

[@desska46]

Thank you so much, for sharing this recipe. I've just made it. Its super super delicious, and the meat is so tender. Best Regards for your Dad

[@realdeallocal1221]

I have used your method now for various ways of cooking chicken breast including grilling... never is the product rubbery or chewy... thanks for sharing! Amazing Chef!

[@pamelasaw]

Love all the recipes...thank you so much for sharing

[@ssamuel8988]

This channel is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing these secrets!

[@lizzymisskerr]

Thank you and your father for teaching me how to make this delicious meal. Very well made video for me to follow along to. I made this today to the tee and it cane out fabulous especially tasty. Mind you I'm not from your culture neither but yet your father made me feel like it was my dad teaching me how to make a dish. Well done you two🎉. I'm from the West Indies and this meal came our soooo well because of the both of you. Much thanks for helping me make something way out of my comfort zone. 🎉😊

[@renbren3008]

I love your channel..and your dad!

[@chrisschutze2315]

This looks delicious! I have made your dad’s chicken thigh recipe, and it has already become a family favorite. This recipe is quite similar to the thigh recipe. I would love to see a chicken recipe from your dad with some different flavors.

[@mintzist]

Made this recipe, followed the step-by-step, tasted so yummy! Thank you

[@buku69420]

Sesame oil is a MUST ingredient.. I also add dark soy sauce to the sauce part. The result is the dish looks more saucy and beautiful.

[@FreshKiddsTV]

Thanks I tried this for dinner . I didn’t have ALL the ingredients, but still made it work with the 1-1/2 lb of chicken breast I had in the Fridge. Thank you !

[@gena4638]

So...I tried this chicken recipe. A few things: 1.) Very descriptive video ❤ If I had just read this online without the video, I would've done a much worse job 2.) My family raved about how tender and flavorful the chicken was. So thank you for the tips! I'm infamous for overlooking chicken and pork bc I'm so paranoid about eating it undercooked. This chicken was melt in your mouth tender. 3.) Although my meal was delicious, I had a catastrophe 😂 My kitchen was so smoky I had to open the door. I cut my finger badly while slicing onion. My kitchen looked like a bomb went off when I was done. I was covered in cornstarch and oil splatter when I was done. 😂 It was well worth it and we had a good laugh over this. I am making this for a second time tonight and hoping for a smoother process. Fingers crossed! Lol

[@nicholashuang8654]

0:21 this step made the most sense to me.

[@JaneDoe-ql7sc]

I thought there was a video of his where he added baking soda to the water, does he use baking soda sometimes instead of salt? Btw - i LOVE your dad's cooking videos! I've made the chicken thighs twice now, my son loves them! Today i'm working with chicken tenders

[@sebasssebas6865]

Excellent. Followed many recipes and cooked as many. I love you Daddy Lau. Thank you.

[@sangeetarasmairashoi5168]

Thank you so much for sharing ❤❤❤❤

[@aaronleung8809]

I really appreciate the use of traditional Chinese 🇭🇰thank you

[@lucyj2580]

Beautiful job and his knife skills ❤❤❤!

[@tchangity]

Fantastic technique. I tried some of the chicken before adding the sauce in and it tasted perfectly panned fried with a nice crispy coating. Will be using this technique in the future to make other types of chicken dishes. Thanks!!

[@joyf9740]

Sarap! Thank you for sharing the recipe! I made this and just replaced the wine with a little vinegar for the sauce.

[@NaCui-hc8sr]

This tastes so good! I've never cooked the chicken breast so well like this. The chicken breast is so soft and moist! I am running out of corn starch so I substitute it for cake flour 😂. It turned out so good and tastes like McChicken nuggets 😂. This dish is a keeper! I have had a hard time cooking chicken breast for a long time. Now I know how to cook it! I can understand some Cantonese and I love Cantonese diets. You made this video a lot of fun. Thank you so much.

[@Alice_Walker]

I enjoy learning from this channel so much! 💜

[@852foodie]

Just stumbled on your channel. Great stuff. Love the format and the caption in both English and Traditional Chinese. 👍🏻

[@35mmonrose]

what the hell i just made the chicken thigh recipe with chicken breast this morning and then you guys drop this a few hours later 😂

[@Henchman1977]

Similar to the pan fried chicken thighs, which I made last night along with stir fry broccoli. Broccoli was a lot of effort but well worth it.

[@theunidentified5841]

When you brine the chicken for 30 minutes, do you put it in the fridge? Thanks!

[@victoriaruvolo1749]

This is a great video! Is cooking wine essentially Shaoxing?

[@loisjohnson7272]

Looks so delicious ❤ thank you for sharing that

[@JonathanNelsonOfficial]

I made this and your garlic eggplant for my family. We're still reeling about it the next day. I can't believe I made that tbh. Thank you so much!

[@elizabethhorbelt3061]

I made this for my family and they all loved it, thank you for sharing your recipe and techniques. =)

[@christasticus1408]

My mouth waters during all these wonderful videos

[@billstevens8553]

This was brilliant; 100 out of 10. Thanks for sharing it!

[@c.r.8977]

😘 Very well explained, I have a question about cooking wine, we don't have that here Can I also use normal white wine or just more water?

[@jplin888]

Looks delicious. Will be trying this recipe soon but I will replace the chicken breast with the thigh. You have an amazing family and thank you for sharing the recipe with us. Take care. Cheers from HK🇭🇰

[@mopsydaisy]

who cares?

[@kj4726]

Damn! I want pan-fried chicken breasts with onions and steamed broccoli right now. Salute to Pops! His energy is quite effective! And he supplies the flute music!

[@charissekeys9176]

this was delicious, made it tonight, def will be making again

[@yukil.spencer3848]

reminds me of my grandparents :) glad to see videos like this

[@joejojo4805]

07:47 instead of cooking wine, can we use Hua Diao Wine (花雕酒）as a substitute ？

[@VikkiValenzuela-ut9wz]

Just made this chicken!...I have never cooked a chicken that tasted Sooooooo good, just watching helps me with other foods....I have done a few of your Dad's work and everything went great...as long as I do what he says....😊...I have learned so much by watching him....

[@VikkiValenzuela-ut9wz]

Thank you

[@jasoncleveland8993]

What is the brand of the cook top your dad always uses? I'm looking to get one and i figured he must use s good one. Thanks!

[@geefei]

lmaoooo, my dad makes this every other week! Sooooo good!

[@animalfinatic9366]

Amazing as always.

[@WarrenIsDead]

Just made this tonight, the most tender chicken breast o ever made. Great recipe, thank you!

[@MrDiMaggio5]

I tried making this and I had issues with dredging the chicken in cornstarch. It didn't really stick to the chicken and I just ended up with a slimy mess that didn't crisp up at all in the pan. Are there different types of cornstarch? It was still good, but didn't have any crisp. I love the marinade!

[@rainzerdesu]

Watched your short about light vs dark soy sauce which made me curious. My family is Toisonese so i'm familiar with Canto and Canto style cooking. If I taste dark soy sauce by itself, it tastes "better" to me as a flavor (richer, caramel/sweet and savory flavor) than light soy sauce which is mostly just salty. If dark soy sauce has these flavors, is there a specific reason we only use it for color and not flavor? Only asian dish specifically that I can think of that uses dark soy sauce for flavor is Singapore's kaya toast breakfast that serves runny egg with a dash of dark soy as the flavoring. Are there Canto dishes that take advantage of dark soy sauce's flavor more than for color?

[@ruthwezeman6700]

I just made this for dinner tonight and it was SO delicious!!! I wanted to eat the whole thing 😂. Thank you so much for what you do!

[@juicemma7392]

Yo that’ doesn’t sound right …

[@fairlane32]

How long do you marinate the chicken after you make the sauce and you start to dredge the chicken? 🤔

[@muriaal]

Do you need to refrigerate the chicken while it's brining?

[@nicochan5832]

Thanks for the recipe 😊

[@TheKewtestEVER]

I MADE THIS TONIGHT

[@bonkle5]

This recipe was super good. I had some leftover sauce in the pan that I didn’t want to go to waste and so I made some fried rice with Chinese sausage using it

[@Procrasteonaut]

I learned many similar techniques trying to perfect my chicken Marsala - slice to same size cutlets, pound lightly, flour dredge, wine in marinade and cooking, aromatic veg (mushrooms and shallots) with the goal of a silky rich sauce. I'll make this and enjoy how the different flavor profile works with the analogous approach. Yum! Thanks for the great videos.

[@jitako]

Looks delicious. I hardly cook chicken these days as I find it' does not taste like what it used to and become too gamey. But after looking at how your Dad makes it with so much flavor.. I'm thinking about it 😊
