Pro tip for ginger: if you are lazy - ehm, I mean, short on time - like me, or if you’re just not good at mincing ginger finely, grate it instead. “But wait!” you say, “every time I grate ginger it clogs the grater with strings!” Here’s the actual pro tip: *freeze the ginger first.* Then grate it frozen using a micro plane grater. It will produce perfect ginger snow that melts into ginger paste by the time it hits the bowl.

Hello from Malaysia! Been watching your videos since the pandemic and learnt how to cook Chinese food at home with your dad's clear and simple instructions. Thank you. My family has the same surname, with exactly the same Chinese character. But instead of being Cantonese, we are Hokkiens originally from Fujien Province, China. And although Hokkien is the family's mother tongue, we all speak Cantonese. So good of you to put on visual record your dad's skill and experience as a Chinese chef. Not just as a legacy for your family but for all of us Chinese diaspora. Gam Xia, Dor Jie, Xie Xie ❤

[@nstarr6307]

I stumbled across this video. It was wonderful to watch your dad cooking & listen to him describe the process. My parents & older brother who were born in China are now gone. I don't hear the Chinese Taishan language spoken anymore. I wasn't fluent anyway, understood more than I could speak, but even that was limited after I moved away from home. My mom spoke to us in Chinese & we answered back in English. My dad split on speaking to us in Chinese & English since he was more assimilated into American culture. That was growing up in America for us. Anyway, it was delightful for me to be able to understand at times what your father said. It reconnected me with my family. Thank you!

[@user-tz9jh6pv2j]

Yeah, it's really sad how so many Chinese parents never spoke Chinese to their kids. A lot of my Chinese American friends don't speak a lick of Chinese.... and now they all wish they did. It's a great way to lose your sense of identity and community. Which I guess is the point with a lot of Chinese parents.... they seem to want their kids to "assimilate" by erasing their cultural background. I don't agree with it... I am forever grateful that my parents sent me to Chinese school every weekend and I spoke to them in Cantonese all through my life. That being said, Mandarin is very important to know if you want to be part of the Chinese community and speak to other Chinese people. I am currently taking lessons in Mandarin. So if you ever feel like you wish to reconnect, a great first step would be to take classes!

[@nstarr6307]

@@user-tz9jh6pv2j Thank you for your comments. Yes, I think it was very common for immigrant parents to want their children to assimilate into American culture and blend into their adopted country. Sometimes us kids felt torn between the old ways my parents knew and then growing up as a first generation Chinese American. It was very smart of your parents to keep you immersed in the Chinese language, both in the weekend school and household conversation. It is something that I can really appreciate now but didn't recognize the value of at the time. Kudos, also, to you for taking Mandarin since it is completely different than Cantonese to my ear and might as well be Japanese! 🙂

Just made this as a novice cook and it turned out beautifully. I did make some changes: -I added some crushed chili powder, red pepper flakes, and a little bit of paprika in the sauce, for just a bit of spice. - I also didn't have oyster sauce, so I made do with a little more soy sauce -Didn't have any wine, but I did have rice wine vinegar. I substituted that for the cooking wine and added a bit more sugar to compensate the extra bitterness. Even with those changes it was great! Great video!

ginger, soy sc, cooking wine, corn starch and choosing the dark meat make it really similar to karaage, the Japanese fried chicken (where they use mirin instead of shaoxing wine).

I want to try making this this weekend. I had no idea when using a stainless steel pan to prevent sticking, I should heat up the pan first before adding oil! Thanks for the tip!

I learned that technique about a year ago, and threw away most of my aluminum/ Teflon pans. Now it's all cast iron, stainless steel and a carbon steel wok in my house. All pans that will last for generations. I couldn't be happier.

Skin on, boneless thighs are my favorite. So versatile and difficult to ruin. Now, I just go back to ginger scallion noodles, and I am good. Thank you Daddy Lau. 😊

Though removing the bone isn't too much work, I just wish more places world just sell it prepared!

With so many comments, and so many views, you'll probably never see this comment; nonetheless, I just want to say that your family is beautiful, and your cooking tutorial and narration is excellent! The food LOOKs amazing! I am an Italian American and me and my friend Sal of 48 years, enjoy cooking Italian food. I also cook some Chinese dishes at home, like Shrimp with broccoli in the white sauce. I enjoy eating chinese cooking. I can't wait to try this recipe. I wish you all the best that life has to offer, and much JOY and PEACE. Thanks for sharing. God BLESS all of you.
