Thanks for the recipes to Dad Lau, greetings from Turkey.

[@NorthBelle]

Frozen cod is on our next list for Costco! Wishing your dad many more years of happy cooking and good health!

[@tonyanderson5123]

His Dad gave a piece of critical instruction that I am not sure if he translated. When baking fish with high water content, make sure that is hot (425 F) before you put the fish in because the heat will quickly shear the surface of the fish to prevent the juice from coming out.

[@smac3662]

I learn so much about preparation in these videos. And I have cooked for 50 years 😮

[@heyklackey]

I learned SO much!

[@WaynesWorldStudioVancouver]

You must try using Chinese knife which has two type, one for bone which is heavier for chopping and other is for lighting cutting the one he is using. Why chinese knife? It is fast and can cut a large amount in a short time, no other knife can do so much once you master the Chinese knifes! I work in the Chinese restaurant so all my staffs use this, even some of the kitchen helper is not Chinese!

[@michaellippmann4474]

​@@WaynesWorldStudioVancouverAlso, I like using the cleaver as I can properly scrape up all my chopped product to transfer to pot or pan. I have a huge collection of knives (don't ask....😂) but my cchinese cleaver is a go to along with my Henckel 9" chefs knife....oh and my favorite is a knife my father made as a wedding gift for my mom about 70+ years....takes an edge like no other and is thin and flexible. Sorry got off on a tangent there! Thanks for the great video! Mike 🇨🇦

[@WayneLam]

@@michaellippmann4474Nice to see another Canadian here also, Merry Christmas mate!

[@michaellippmann4474]

[@beenochui]

it's so nice to see your whole family having a great dinner or lunch together. so warm!!

[@Aschentei]

chopping the ginger into thin pieces and then smashing them is genius, that really helps bring out the flavor

[@melissawoo5366]

I love that daddy Lau is using an air fryer as most people nowadays prefer to use it !! Thank you !

[@brucemendelson8306]

I don't know what I love more, the recipes or your family. You are a beautiful family, your videos make me feel good.

[@AL-fl4jk]

Sounds hyperbolic but your videos are life changing. Helpful techniques, realistic ingredients - it’s a rare combo

[@Grizzleback07]

Personal tip: I always pre-heat my oven 20-25 degrees hotter than my actual cooking temperature. This counteracts the heat loss from opening the oven door and the oven will not have to work so hard to reheat back to the cooking temperature needed for the dish. I also keep a cast iron pan in the oven if possible to help retain heat during the cook phase.

[@Henry_the_Frenchie]

*I love your dad! Happy Holidays to him from all of us…he needs his own cooking show! More cooking lessons from your dad please?!?*

[@dmperri]

The success of this channel makes me so happy. Kudos on the outstanding information, presentation and production value.

[@chrisandersen5635]

I love the description of ginger, garlic and scallions as Chinese mirepoix. So good. I just used those together in a veggie melange. So good.

[@FlyFish4Thinkers]

Another Gem! I learn something new on every episode! Smashing the ginger and onion is genius..

[@hxiong104]

很喜欢师傅传授的各种煮食经验，详细的材料分量！也很喜欢家人互动的氛围，很温馨！

[@MadeWithLau]

非常感恩有您的支持！老劉祝福您闔家身體健康！幸福快樂！

[@tree3po]

Love the ginger smash and chop. I leaned something today from your Pops. Thanks

[@popokidoki9747]

I looooove your vids. They are clear and each step is so clearly described. No guessing. Ty! I will be making this soon!

[@scottyvanantwerp]

I love all that you and your family does! Thank you for being so comprehensive.

[@nitagee-fy9ez]

Another great inspiration to make easily available cod fish in a delicious looking way. The techniques are all in the details: Cook in high heat with a herb crust. Who knew you can do this so easily. I will definitely give this one a try.

[@thhseeking]

Hello from Australia :) I had a go at making this. No cod, so I used Hoki, and not having fresh ginger and garlic handy I used garlic and ginger pastes (not the stuff in a jar, it's local and in a tube. Better than the jarred stuff), and for vegetables I boiled "stir-fry" vegetables and some sad-looking bok choy that I had in the fridge. Pickled ginger, too for a colour splash :P Done in the air fryer, the fish turned out very well. I'll happily make this again :D

[@sarajanehaven]

This looks delicious! I didn't know you could smash ginger. That's a great idea.

[@eastcoastgaming8652]

Still love the content, man. Congrats on the channels success! I think I started watching you and your family around 4k subscriptions. Boy how time flies.

[@MadeWithLau]

Wow! Thank you for your support from the beginning!

I like your dad in your videos so much that I don’t even skip over the ads in order for you guys to generate revenue! Thanks for making these videos. So helpful! 🍻

Must have been great growing up with Mr Lau as Dad 🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@MadeWithLau]

100% yes

[@dannydangelo762]

Love the videos love this family. And of course love the easy and delicious recipes!

[@m.theresa1385]

Thank you Chef! I frequently use packaged frozen fish, your techniques will make a huge difference for crispier fish (I frequently steam it in a sauce).

[@E82N55]

Please do one for fried rice cake with pork and mustard greens!

[@carcartsui7787]

I tried the recipe tonight and it’s delicious!!! Thank you chef Lau!!

[@smac3662]

My mouth is watering right now 😊

[@Lawomenshoops]

I just saw a Q&A video by YT chef Brian Lagerstrom. One of the questions was which, KZbin chef did he like? He picked “Daddy Lau” I said call him Uncle Lau! A colab would be cool!

[@MadeWithLau]

We love Brian! He’s awesome!

[@slynda4926]

Thank you for both versions, anothr fantastic sharing!!God bless your family.

[@m.51373]

Beautiful family all together! I am so happy I found your delicious recipe. Thank you.

[@richardlaprade9973]

Such a great family! And I learn so much from your Dad - his tips have really improved my cooking. Thank you 🙏

[@sharonomalley7880]

First time preparing a meal on this channel, it was hands down one of the most delicious meals I have ever prepared from frozen fish. It is definitely going to be a Gold Standard recipe on my repertoire.

[@ldawn1540]

Awww can I borrow your Dad? What a lovely family channel. My husband is from Newfoundland, the Cod capital of the world. We even kiss the cod… It’s a long-standing tradition that even Anthony Bourdain partook in. I tried this recipe and my husband LOVED it. ❤

[@honhi96825]

Thanks for using the air fryer. I love mine and always can use more recipes for it!

[@miketype1each]

I'd say the best chefs are great mechanics. Your dad is certainly that.

[@user-ii6vv2bo9j]

Love this guy. Great chef!

[@beetlebuster]

Tried this tonight. Great tasting dish, the fresh aromatics make it Delicious.

[@patrickwwevans]

I LOVE your Dad! I wish I could be him and am trying this recipes and techniques. I wish I was as good of a father as he is.

[@thefineartsteacher]

Prepared this tonight with Swahi, which is super inexpensive, and it was a total hit with the family. Both the marinade and dip were amazing tasting, though for thinner fish I’ll probably switch to garlic powder and salt the mixture to taste so you can enjoy the aromatics in quantity without being so strong in salinity.

[@coachdms]

Thankyou it looks delicious - Can't wait to make it !!!

Suggestion: the last step of oil atop the fish: use a Sprayer, more even, and it uses less oil.
