I order stir fried long beans almost weekly from my local Szechuan place. My girlfriend is always asking me how I can be satisfied with no meat or any other veg. It’s a thing I crave. So many nuanced flavors & textures. It’s one of my all time favorite dishes. I feel like Chinese chefs (even home cooks) apply so much love & consideration into otherwise simple dishes.

[@TenderheartPC]

This kind of generational wisdom is so important. Thanks to you and your family for sharing it with us. Your dad is an absolute legend.

[@frankwoo4354]

"...Trim off both ends of the green beans." 😳 Are you telling us our parents could have just done that on the cutting board and NOT made us sit in the living room picking off each end by hand for half an hour???

[@jadehom8067]

🤣🤣🤣 yup

[@longduong5212]

Oh geeze that brings back memories 😂. Snap snap snap!

[@honnysuhuyanli2056]

Bring back my childhood memories 😂

[@LoopyChew]

I’ll admit it brought me to a flow state.

[@laggyy3987]

It was a way for my mother to grill us about our homeworks 😂

[@hkbuddy97006]

I just adore Papa Lau, he’s such a treasure. I love every recipe and I’ve cooked a few just like how I remember them from childhood. ❤

[@DrJohn493]

Love your dad's passion for cooking and explaining his techniques. I'm going to incorporate this way of preparing green beans soon to go with some salmon fillets I intend to prepare soon on the pellet smoker. A story I hope you'll appreciate; my wife and I enjoy Chinese food and some years ago we were enjoying our home prepared Chinese creations almost every night. At one point, my wife said "well we don't want to eat Chinese every night," to which I replied, "why not the Chinese do?" /s/ New sub!

[@ladyzngentz6123]

Love how you do the cooking video's for your dad . . Something for you to look back too 🥺😍

[@whoputyouontheplanet3345]

I love these! My family and I used to call these "squeaky beans"!

[@cyrusatkinson3307]

Love these videos! Your Father is perfect! Honest real, just exactly what the "average American" needs to be brave enough to try these techniques and flavors. Pass on our love to Him please!

[@sdaiwepm]

I appreciate how you link to "the competition" for different versions. Major respect to you.

[@seccat]

You can reduce the oil by Air Frying the String Beans, just start them in the wok to coat them lightly with hot oil + salt. Then dump the beans in the 400 degree Air Fryer, while you cook the meat and other vegs.. When you get a char on the String Beans return them to the wok (leave the oil and juices in the basket). You may need to add water or drippings.

[@Cindys954]

I find this such a fantastic channel! The directions are terrific!

[@w.rowechmura8414]

I love the blistered texture. I’m so making this.

[@zekelucente9702]

That looks not only fantastic, but also so very doable. Thank you for another great recipe.

[@johnnorris8567]

The chef makes it look so easy. I guess that comes from decades of experience. Love the videos and will do these green beans.

[@xzysyndrome]

If you can cook an Egg...this dish is about as hard. I made this after having it once...then again, I have decades of cooking experience.

[@bethmitchbeth]

❤love this video, thanks so much for sharing... just made the recipe and it was DELICIOUS, felt very gourmet

[@cchoi108]

Appreciate having the real deal full fat fried version lol. I've made the other versions. Ready to go all in lol.

[@chrisandersen5635]

I was just at the store and almost bought green beans. Doh. I do love them so. I love the idea of cutting off the ends. I’ve been breaking them one all this time. Such a throwback technique. 🤔

[@CelAbration]

Oh I'm binging these! The techniques are invaluable...also I've got a bag of green beans I want to try this with

[@xnay-ey8dk]

I learn so much from your videos. Thank you!

[@mccallosone4903]

this is one of my favorite chinese dishes. its rare to see it with the onion, but it definitely adds something. wow no sichuan peppercorns, thats the best part of the dish!

[@TheMostObliviousGirl]

Tried this for dinner tonight! Turned out great both rice and the dish are cleaned out! Although I had to switch with the chilly pepper with a carrot. But it still tasted fantastic! Great recipe! Thank you so much for sharing! Your dad is awesome!

[@wenqiou3152]

Could I use air fryer for the deep fry part? Thank you!! Your channel is amazing and glad to see your dad is enjoying sharing his cooking skills

[@nimblehuman]

This is like your friend from Hong Kong's dad teaching you how to cook. M-goi! 🙏

[@nhungcrosbie8750]

Thank you! It’s looks so good.

[@mikesonneson2824]

Again I love your Dad and your family.

[@rbale2]

I’ve really been loving these recipes lately, thank you!

[@xzysyndrome]

Green Beans and Pork is one of my most favorite dishes to make. Had it one time at a Chinese restaurant...made it the following day as a main dish. A family favorite since. The inclusion of the red onion is neat. I usually add a tablespoon of fish sauce to my sauce base....because it is delicious. Another one I love is Tomatoes and Egg...mmm.

[@tirzah9929]

Just one of the best dishes thank you chef

[@carolatkinson795]

Thank you for discussing how to make various dishes without meat and how to make them without deep frying. I love your recipes!

[@ctgeblue17]

Yesss! Finally... I suck at cooking green beans . Ty!! 😊

[@JT-yj3tr]

Thank you for this recipe and tips. I’ve been trying to make this dish, but couldn’t always make the same way as restaurants do. Now I can do it.

[@catchnkill]

This dish is different. The restaurant way is actually worse than the home cook way. The method you see in this video is the restaurant way. The reason for the deep frying the bean is to reduce the time for stir fry. In restaurant, they ususally deep dry a big batch of bean first. The cooking time of the dish is reduced to less than 5 minutes. Also you do not want crispyness of this dish. There is no way to keep its cripsyness and is also safe to eat. The best way is to skip the deep frying and use just a little bit of oil. And stir fry it till done. It takes more than 5 minutes. They use the wrinkle of the bean to tell if the bean is heated enough. It is a food safety measure. They do not tell it in the recipe as a tradition. But there is a reason for that.

[@JT-yj3tr]

@@catchnkillThank you for your explanation.

[@AdrianCHOY]

He cooks just like the way I remember restaurants serving food when I was a child.

[@Anil18834]

Vegetable lover here. I never liked green beans until a friend who lives in China came over and cooked them. I only cook them that way and love them. She made them w/o pork.

[@AndyLeedee]

OMG! Thank you for pronouncing sichuan the correct way!! @5:53

[@bootblacking]

Fried, broiled, and grilled green beans are in my top 5 favorite foods, easy

[@carolhaggard700]

Love your show

[@Yourmomsboyfriend222]

Thank you I’ve been wondering why the green beans are soo good from the restaurants. God bless you and your family!.

[@xzysyndrome]

It's all in the Wok. Tried these in an iron skillet...delicious, but not Wok delicious.

[@KittyCommanderr]

Never thought Id see Kikomon in a Made with Lau vid

[@chengboonpoon879]

THANK YOU

[@richardaustin4480]

First go at this and I didn't have the oil hot enough (I literally just bought a thermometer), despite that, it is unbelievable how tasty the beans get when fried. I did it using some long stem broccoli as well. Really good.

[@SachaandEnglang]

This looks absolutely good. I really love your dad and your family.☺

[@danamacie167]

Great Chinese cooking instructions!! I’ve subscribed and just started watching your videos showing your Dad cooking. I noticed that he uses Corn oil for the deep frying. Does he prefer that oil over Peanut oil and if so, why? Thanks in advance!

[@karthiklakshmi]

I love this grandpa..thanks!

[@nerviceniles2272]

Thanks for Sharing!

[@Loxalair]

If the beans are bulging out, you can take the beans out, dry them, and then grow your own beans. I accidentally forgot my red bush beans in my garden, so most of them are going to be seeds now

[@Lobster625]

Love this! thank you!!

[@chollyuy7232]

love this cooking chanel

[@Frandalicious66]

Love this, I’ve added it to my staple veggie food. I don’t have a gas stove and can not use my wok , so I have to do in regular fry pan. I am almost certain that your dad knows how to construct a outdoor wood fire wok cook top.

[@akahina]

I ordered this very dish at a favorite local restaurant for 20 years. I never knew it was fried. Now I know how to make it myself! 🙏

[@yayin43]

The kids are so cute 😊

[@Prophecy-Cat]

I made this one with tofu, but it was incredible! Best green beans I've ever made

[@MountianGoat]

Just found your videos. Thanks so much for putting these out. Our challenge is having only a radiant heat cooktop. This limits us to a flat bottom wok and poor heating on the sides. It looks like you use the Chef Master 15000 btu stove for your demos. You show a gas stove in the background. Does the Chef Master really provide sufficient heat or do you have to use the higher out put stove in the background for larger meals?

[@araminrain]

Really appreciate that you gave a shoutout to two of the top, long standing recipes for this dish that already existed. Kenji and WoksofLife version are both amazing and so are their recipes. You guys are really up there with them and give your own twists and teachings on it. It's great to see there's so many solid techniques for essentially the same dish.

[@apefu]

Yes! This is a dish I miss so much! I don't believe I ever had it with chili pepper but I will try that for sure! :)

[@carrierubertello6144]

Made this recipe tonight and it was delicious….❤️❤️❤️

[@TundeEszlari]

Brilliant video.

[@Prophecy-Cat]

I made this vegetarian, but it was so delicious! Stir fried some red pepper to add more to it. Amazing 😍

[@user-kh8lb1rn4p]

My mouth is watering, I really want to eat it

[@nathandanner4030]

My local super market makes this dish in the deli. I swear I can't go there without buying some.

[@steveb9525]

When his granddaughter stood up in her high chair, risking her life for a plate, I knew it was going to be good. I got some ground lamb on sale. That would probably be a good substitute.

[@czeshirecat6278]

In the uk, a flat, darker green bean that we call ‘French beans’ are lovely flavour but they still have that string that needs removing. There are other rounder beans that I’d pick for Chinese cooking

[@osu7356]

if you like a bit spicier, try adding 1 tsp chinese chili oil. you may need to go to a chinese market to find it

[@annielam7150]

Green beans are delicious.

[@juliegonzalez3607]

😢 I've ate these a couple times at a mom and pop and never had them this way again so thank you so very much I really am going to try and make these ❤

[@Phoca_Vitulina]

This looks so good!

[@CreatingwithWinglessAngel]

Shitaki mushrooms will be good with it.

[@denise2169]

I remember my dad used to chop his pork like this!

How far ahead of time can you wrinkle the beans?

[@djgiermann8826]

Forgive me if I am asking this the wrong way. But I've heard their is 8 major types of Chinese cooking. What style does your father mostly cook? I'm trying to educate myself more about the nuances of the different styles.

[@cebamy]

What’s the difference between light and dark soy sauce. Please give example brands of each

[@incanada83]

@cebamy, he has a short video explaining the difference 🙂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGqxdpaPaZmlha8si=xY7bAgQIRK5vzjCQ

[@Tilly-ts8sz]

Do you have any recipes that use long beans. They the only kind I like. I can't find them used in chinese restaurants anymore either. Can you just Interchange them. I think they have a different taste.

[@TheFitsome]

lil bro was like, "feed me more of that sh"

[@sybilreneemcgowan1472]

With all the different kinds of chili peppers, which does this recipe need? Sweet/mild or hot?

[@richardgrumbine4867]

will try this minus the pork (trying my best to be eco-friendly)

[@Aschentei]

This is one of, if not my favorite "vegetable" side dish... however I can't seem to figure out why this costs so much in restaurants... like the bean is all year-around, and the ingredients are relatively inexpensive I guess that just means I should start making it at home instead 😬

[@KN-xl6lw]

Labor is the primary driver for restaurant cost and this dish requires a large amount of preparation for comparatively little return. Plus the American obsession with eliminating deep frying makes this dish a nonstarter for most customers.

[@YumchaGirl]

@@KN-xl6lw Interesting! Thanks for that info as I was wondering too.

[@ninetyminutestd]

Vegetables and tofu are big profit margins for chinese restaurants. Mom used to waitress at them and the owners would remind her to push the veggies and tofu. They pay a dollar or 2 for greens and charge $16.99 for a stir fried dish. They are not making those profit margins for lobster because they are paying more for the seafood. That is why sometimes they offer amazing lobster deals... They know the usual Chinese family will also be ordering greens, tofu, soup, etc.

[@catchnkill]

It should be mentioned that "green bean" "string bean" "four seasons bean" i.e. the bean shown in this video has slight toxicity. The bean must be properly cooked to prevent food poisioning. The safety standard is to boil it in 100 degree C water for 10 minutes. Of course you can adjust the cooking time to fit the cooking method. Make sure that you do not cook too fast for this bean.

[@Shinseiki555]

Did it tonight with lap cheong instead of pork butt and it was marvelous.
