Used this tutorial plus a few tricks of my own, omg, so good, juicy yummy pork chops! Thank you Mr Lau.

[@fedupwelsh7211]

I just love the way everything is explained. The reason WHY something is done is so essential for those who want to learn and improve. Everything I’ve made from this channel is just so delicious. Thank you from the country of Wales.

[@phukitkuzitzn0timp0rtant]

I wish i had someone close to me like your father, to share and teach me the ways and recipes they learned throughout their life. I am truly thankful for your channel.... Somehow It fills that empty gap, kinda feels like im part of your family, watching and learning from our elders. Thank You All for sharing your content with us. Many blessings to you and your family.

[@MadeWithLau]

Thank you so much for the kind words 🙏🙏🙏 we are so grateful that we get to share a part of our life with you and share our traditions!

This I feel ❤❤❤

You will be a great father. What you didn’t have growing up, you can never take for granted. Your soul won’t allow you to not notice. You are a good person, not broken from lacking family, you will make your own. I too have no family, they tried to kill me when I was young.

[@phukitkuzitzn0timp0rtant]

@@Clarence_13xdamn.. what type of sorcery is this?! idk how u.... i needed that Brother. Appreciate it. And i hope you find the family you deserve, even if they're not blood.

Me too.

[@jasonrigas8697]

The excitement of a little one enjoying the food you made is truly universal. I’m Greek and I cheer too when my daughter eats my pork chops.

[@dellalegrec.6144]

I'm a helper here in HK and watching your dad's videos helps me a lot in preparing dishes for my employer and they love it...thanks for the good videos..

[@chloetham1193]

I really enjoy watching your channel. Not only do I learn how to cook from your dad, it's also like a trip down the memory lane. And your interactions as a family is just so heart warming. Thank you for doing what you do and please let your dad know that many happy bellies are very appreciative of the knowledge he imparts.

劉伯伯好犀利，每次睇你煮餸的影片都睇得好開心，而且你將每道菜的煮食重點講得好清楚，劉伯伯既是專業大廚，也是好老師👍👍

[@MadeWithLau]

好多謝您嘅支持與讚美！老劉祝福您闔家健康快樂！

[@LaurentHuang-x8x]

Love how your dad probably stepped out of his comfort zone to be so precise with his ingredients. Asian cooks usually go by feel and instinct. But love how he chose to play along and have audience awareness.

[@juneleong1146]

A man with passion in his cooking. Yes he is settled well in USA and yet able to flourish his roots of Chinese cooking. A n open minded man, listen and understand English. A man who thrives well in a foreign land and do his utmost best to preserve his trade

[@liammcooper]

cornstarch is the secret weapon to frying -- also really enjoyed the language lessons too

[@toppersundquist]

Made this tonight. The final steam softened all of the nice crisp, but they looked amazing and all my kids said they were the absolute best. Definitely making again. Many times.

[@Pd69bq]

man, I have so many memories of those Canton/Hong Kong style fried pork chops. I remember when I just graduated and got my first job, I wound go to the Cha Chaan Teng and order one fried pork chop rice every time I received my salary, and changed the plain rice to fried rice to celebrate

[@coffeefromhell3206]

Those close-ups and slight panning of Daddy Lau slicing are so soothing to watch even for those few seconds. A montage of them would make for a therapeutic ASMR.

[@jrmint2]

I love the nerding out explanations of why chinese cooking combines the ingredients it does and in which order...🤩

[@A-CAT-47]

the paper towels, if anyone is wondering look like viva signature cloth. its great cause it doesnt really stick or fall apart into what youre patting dry.

[@junyaowang4585]

My dad is no cooking expert nor do I live with him anymore, apart from the amazing recipe this video offers, that feeling of living with your family attacts me as well. As someone who is thousands of miles away from home, I wish one day I could bring my parents over to my place and hopefully then I can cook some food for them everyday.

[@GB-vz8qw]

I made this last week and now my wife wants it for her birthday dinner - very tasty and simple

[@Lesevesel]

Your dad is a national treasure. The ease. The confidence. The technique. The presentation. He is truly an inspiring role model.

[@jotan4244]

Love the way Elder Lau called the family to come and eat at the end of the video.🥰My grandfather was Cantonese and enjoyed cooking for us grandkids growing up and I enjoyed visiting him often because he cooked so much with love. Thank you for sharing your wonderful traditional Cantonese recipes, they are yummy & cooked with love!💖

[@Jaka515]

I did a test run of 1 chop tonight to see how it would turn out and it was fantastic so tomorrow I'm making them for dinner. So crispy and all the juice gets locked in cuz of the crust. I subbed vermouth instead of cooking wine simply because it's shelf stable and can be kept around a long time and none goes to waste.

[@HRHDMKYT]

I love all the “why” questions answered in the voiceover. I find I better remember the technique if I know why it’s necessary and what it will achieve. This looks delicious! Thanks for sharing your recipe 😊

[@LenardHofer]

Be proud of your dad. He is a good cook. I try everything different every time and now every time is good. Just be thankful that we have dad’s my dad is another life anymore. He was a good cook to thank you for sharing. God bless you and your family.

[@JulianaWong-yu8kp]

Your dad is great cook

[@ThePankaye]

I made this earlier today following the recipe and oh my God. mid blown. it was fantastic. simple and easy to follow. thank you for sharing

[@dytran14]

What a beautiful family 😢❤ I’m a Vietnamese born speaking broken Cantonese. I recently have just discovered daddy Lau amazing cuisine and I have been watching most of his videos and of course I’ll be watching all of the past ones too. I must say one video has brought me to tears; no, actually I was crying my eyes out. Randy and Maya, when you welcome Mai Ji, daddy Lau cooked the pork knuckle with ginger! What a beautiful father in law he is! My Chinese name happens to be Ji too.. I just loveeeeee your family❤❤❤. Thank you Daddy Lau for sharing all your knowledges and cooking skills. I’m hooked to cooking now because of you 🙏🙏🙏. I wish you all the health and happiness in the world🧡🧡🧡

[@miaththered]

While watching your videos has certainly made me a better cook there is a joy in just watching your dad work. Seeing a master at their craft just instills a joy in me. I aspire to those knife skills some day.

[@trishannbell5508]

You're dad is AMAZING! He seems like such a great person. Kind and nice to be around🤗😉

[@dewiharyani3676]

I am a worker from Indonesia who is currently working in HK. I always follow your content, sir, and I always cook according to what you say. My employer said that your cooking is delicious. Thank you for the education. Always be healthy and live long.

[@MarcGoudreau]

Tried Daddy Lau's recipe for pork and it's really fantastic, the marinade really adds some serious flavor while the cornstarch and tenderizing really helps preserve the texture of the pork . I may have used too much garlic this time round but that's an easy fix. Many thanks :)

[@dannymazariego786]

I love these! But I hate that my crust gets stuck when I go to flip them. Your dad makes it look so easy

[@Nicoleth]

I had the same problem, he must use a magical pot

[@dannymazariego786]

@@Nicoleth😂 for real, I was using a stainless steel pan and man it just kept getting stuck, very irritating especially when his didn’t whatsoever 😂

[@mamafrazz]

First of all, thanks a lot for making this channel. I love watching your family interactions and traditions that help mold who you are now. Also, this is my go-to for Chinese dishes. I love how easy your dad makes it😊 Does your dad make Chinese steamed pork/chicken buns or Bao buns? It would be interesting to watch his take on it. Thanks for uploading 😊

[@hellfish2309]

Been working on these myself; tinkering with different thicknesses to get the ideal texture and keeping them juicy

[@kwlsecurity]

Thanks for putting these videos together. This is the best way to keep chinese culinary culture alive for us ABCs. :)

[@davestier6247]

No matter what style of cooking, you can always detect when you're viewing a master by their knife work and the effortless manner. No wasted movement.

[@unclestuka8543]

Daddy Lau, you are the Tops, You have let us in to the Chinese food Temple of secrets, Thank you for your teaching.God bless.

[@TheOriginalnamepleas]

Uncle got the soju bottle for his cooking wine I love it

[@MadeWithLau]

A requirement

[@DianeRoma1]

Everything I have done by following your dad’s instructions have been delicious. You’re so lucky to have him cook for you. Thank you so much for sharing ❤

[@MadeWithLau]

Couldn't agree more! Thanks for trying our recipes!

[@samanthawright3653]

Thank you so much for all the amazing detail that you and your Dad are sharing…. So appreciated 😊

[@sobesohappy]

Just wanted to say thank you for sharing this recipe and others. I have never cooked pork chop my whole life, but this video gave me hope even I could do it… and it was a big hit with the family. Thanks so much for showing how this can be done in a home kitchen!

[@jschaeffer8135]

I love this channel and am so happy I found it. I made the pork chops for my wife. They were not as perfect as your Dad's (did not get that perfect crispy coating) but she declared that they were the best tasting chops ever, and I "can make these anytime." When I hear that ...

[@stapuft]

OMG USE THE BACK OF THE CLEAVER TO TENDERIZE!!!! so simple, yet it works flawlessly! i would have NEVER thought of that, its just so obvious, it went right over my head, thats a 300 IQ move right there!

[@fannyfong6286]

Este canal es un tesoro, todas las recetas de mis raíces, lo amo. Gracias por esfuerzo ❤

[@andrewrodriguez5274]

Your dad has reignited my passion for cooking at home thank you so much!

[@MadeWithLau]

That means so much to us! And we're so excited to be a part of the journey :)

[@rustyfan89]

The ingredients and cooking method is very similar to the chicken thighs, not that that’s a bad thing just an observation

[@bluestarzy1767]

I am so happy how far youve come! Thank you again for all the recipes😊❤❤❤

[@MadeWithLau]

Thank you so much!

[@-_.._._--_.-.-_-_-_-...-.-]

Not only crisper crust, but the inside will be tender and less dried out. Same as I do with steaks on the grill. I can get a better crust while keeping it medium rare. When you flip it, the intense surface temp driving the heat inwards will immediately start to cool once no longer facing the heat.

[@theguynextdoor4978]

Also, many restaurants won't admit it to our faces. But they do add just a little sprinkle of MSG into the seasoning. That's why many of us felt that "hmmmm something is missing" sensation in our mouth when avoiding it at home. Will definitely give Daddy Lau's pork chop a go.

[@MadeWithLau]

MSG is amazing!

[@theguynextdoor4978]

@@MadeWithLau Yup! Our bodies are even producing it naturally, and those people who say "I don't eat or add msg". They may not add it, but it definitely prexists in a lot of the foods they consume. Even western.

[@clv603]

can always had fish sauce to the marinade and final aromatics for a boost of umami

[@Vagabond_Etranger]

Uncle Roger loves MSG as well...

[@kyrastuart1920]

[@jomission5793]

you are both very lucky to have each other and also you are a great kid.... good job, simple and lovely family

[@ImReelySuqi]

Easily one of my favorite pork dishes. As a Cambodian, I typically do fish sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, pepper, garlic and corn starch. I'm gonna make some following your recipe and do a side by side comparison. I know they'll both be awesome

[@derekxiaoEvanescentBliss]

I haven’t had this for like a decade in my childhood and suddenly it just popped into my brain haha

[@cynthianichols1194]

Your mom always looks like she's listening hard to make sure he says it right! ❤

[@andy-kai-chan]

I learned so much from your explanation of the addition of alcohol. Tyvm

[@KenJohnsonUSA]

I always love watching your dad cook. I could listen to him (with a translator) for hours. I would live to have him do a video on wok, cleaver, and other tool selections. Where I live, we do not have many ethnic shops to buy these items. Oh, something you didn't mention, alcohol in a marinade also keeps the meat fibers relaxed so you get a mire tender result.

[@lisayip4305]

This is more than a cookinh video, it is a documentary of a sweet Chinese home.

[@Lifeisaboxof]

Your dad remembers me of when I used to go over to my friends house and her dad would cook for us. Such a great memory

[@celesteortiz6261]

Thank you so much Lau family for sharing this pork chop recipe. I will try it soon! 😊

[@beaurogan3121]

I’m not much of a cook but when I made this it was one of tastiest most successful dishes I’ve made. I was super proud, thanks for the video!

[@dr.crazysdallekstudio8585]

What oil are you using, soybean oil, you should make Peking pork chops?

[@jackhuang2723]

Scientifically, any oil with smoking point above 200 degrees is fine . If you want to use olive oil, it’s advised to add some butter together, but that is not healthy.

[@tommyg5346]

Wow that was a great production. Definitely going to make these. I loved seeing the family enjoy his delicious cooking. Thanks for sharing your very important family time with me. Loved it!

[@rocko6439]

Will steaming it towards the end make the pork less crispy?

[@flapdrol]

Likely so, but it will make it also less dry - and while it reabsorbs some moisture it also absorbs those flavours from the cooking wine, ginger and onions.

[@angelaaquino7904]

Great video! I truly enjoyed your dad. He sounds like a great dad& person. 👍🏻

[@zzxtr5705]

this video is so good,it not only show the method but also explain the reason.

[@HienPham-bg6cs]

Love this Chanel 😀 Not only learning about how to cook but also learn more a Cantonese language. Thanks

[@michaeln9931]

I know I"m late to this, but why do you work to make the pork chops so crispy if you end by steaming them?

[@sinwashereable]

It's to help form a better soft texture after steaming them. This is very typical for Chinese cooking, as a lot of the prep is to help get the perfect texture.

[@ragingsilver]

My dad makes pork chop this way, I thought it was his unique way of doing it as I've never had it made this way from anyone else. Sometimes he changes the flour with knock off KFC style seasoned flour you can buy in some places.

[@melissaleeo]

Made this twice and always a HUGE hit. It’s absolutely delicious! My husband can’t stop going on and on about it.

[@rush2sk8]

[@deedo1352]

Just made these and oh man they were a 10 out of 10! It was better than any takeout we have around here. Thank you!!

[@pathiggins4455]

I made this tonight. Rave reviews from the family. I particularly like the idea of tenderizing using the spine of the knife. Using my usual method with a mallet makes the meat too thin, like a cutlet. The knife method allows you to keep some thickness but still tenderizes the meat very well.

[@hyperdrivepics]

Ooh, i've got some pork chops in the chicken I need to cook soon, now I know EXACTLY what to do with it!

[@loisjohnson7272]
