I tried this and it was DELICIOUS!!! I really know my eggs and eat scrambled eggs several times a week. This was another level. Soooo gooood! Who thought? SUGAR??! Thank you!

[@magicworld3242]

OMG..... I live in America and I never knew what those numbers on the bag of shrimp meant. 🤣Thanks......

[@meu09]

Really love this combination of you and your dad because I realized you’ll ask very basic simple questions (a lot of them could be asked by amateur home cook viewers ) and your dad will explain them with full of patience. This can only be done by someone who’s full of love, respect and the sincerity to teach. Thanks for starting this channel and persevering until now.

[@zhuangcorp]

These videos ignited my passion into Chinese cooking. Of course there have been thousands of recipes and videos before your channel even started, but something about the way your dad teaches these dishes inspired me. I cooked several of these dishes according to your videos, and they all turned out amazing. My family and friends rave about my cooking now.

[@greatwhitenorth3717]

It doesn't hurt that he has decades of experience and makes it all so accessible for the home cook with a regular burner..not a jet burner like they have in restaurants.

[@MadeWithLau]

That’s amazing! We’re so glad to be able to help spark this passion!! So glad your friends and family get to enjoy your cooking :)

[@kokogaijin]

I love asian cuisine, primarily Japanese and Korean, because I lived in both countries. I only knew Chinese food from the American restaurants. Thanks to your father, I have several of his recipes in my main rotation. Definitely expanded my ideas about Chinese cuisine.

[@trym2121]

My wife also follows Daddy Lau's (yes, we call him daddy Lau) recipe and all of them are amazing

[@karatemom88]

Hands down the best shrimp and egg recipe ever. I made this two days ago - the shrimps tasted like lobster texture and the eggs cooked with the stacking method of stirring came out light, silky and fluffy. Thank you Daddy Lau for the all time delicious yet simple recipe!

[@kimchung514]

The grandpa I didn't know I was looking for. Watching him cook and hearing him patiently explain everything ❤ it feels so comforting, it feels like home, thank you to you both ❤❤❤

[@BrutishYetDelightful]

You'll find similar joy with Feed Me Bubbe, right here on KZbin. That's a twenty-something kid and his 80-year old Jewish grandma making food. She tells how to do everything, and also shares her Yiddish word-for-the-day, along with some delightful stories about growing up in Atlantic City a long time ago. Utterly charming, and those old kosher recipes are something else. My favorite quote from Bubbe: "I use vegetable oil now, but in the old days we used chicken fat for everything - you couldn't get away from the flavor."

[@mamacheung]

Thanks very much for sharing your tips and recipe. 😊炒得好美。好味。讚 👍🏻

The finesse of your Dad's hands is a great reminder that most of us watching are just home cooks! He's real professional.... I am grateful that you are sharing his techniques. Thank you.

[@lildevil872]

I have so much love and respect for your family. Especially your dad. He's everyone's dad haha he is so passionate about his recipes and it shows

[@mackdog3270]

Your father sounds like a great guy, someone I wouldn't mind knowing. In my journey to try and understand Chinese cooking I watch a lot of people who don't speak English, and that's fine. Often times the process is the key to understanding the dish, and I appreciate their efforts even though I have to guess at some of the ingredients. It's nice to watch a chanel where the star is from the country I want to learn about and is a cook, but I can still easily understand what's going on. Thanks!

This channel is the best! Not only do we get to learn how to cook like a Cantonese master chef, but we also get to sort of hang out with your dad, who seems like a wonderful person. Thanks for all your efforts and for sharing these recipes with the world.

[@deannwong584]

Your channel and your dad is helping me heal my inner child. Thanks for the great recipes!

[@islandsaltcuisinemachineme5239]

I love watching your father cook. It's like when my maternal Grand father who was French Canadian taught me to cook French cuisine I have learned several things from your father. He is a master chef.

[@lesliechin9943]

Made this tonight and it is delicious! Thank you for the wonderfully detailed videos. My mom loves listening to the Cantonese, it is the same dialect she grew up speaking. I also love your Dad’s dizu playing - I play too and he sounds great!

[@brendadarrington4268]

Thank you, Dad for sharing your passion of cooking delicious food with us . I will try making some of recipes. I love y’all sitting at table enjoying each other.

Yum! I have made this dish before but now I'm glad to have Daddy Lau's tips! ❤️

[@AnalogWolf]

This looks great! Thanks for all the tips that an accomplished chef may do automatically but a less experienced one may not know to do. As always I enjoy your dad's enthusiasm and love for not only food, but his family. It really makes the videos enjoyable and wholesome in addition to being a good learning experience.

[@stefgoh6160]

Dear Mr. Lau, I would like to thank you for sharing amazing vedios. Last weekend I made this dish for my wife's family. Everybody loved it a lot. Thank you.

[@limzeeyin7207]

Thank you for this, I've requested this a long time ago!

I look forward to every upload, thank you for the recipe!!

[@valeriev877]

My son loves to eat prawn scrambled eggs. I could never get the texture right as served in the restaurants. Glad that Mr Lau has shared (as always so generously) the techniques (though simple but precious tips). Hope I'll be able to plate it deliciously from now. Tq so much Mr Lau and you too Randy...😃😃😃

[@RhubarbAndCod]

I love the layer-stacking method with this scramble. It's so clever! This looked gorgeous with the shrimp and green onions. Nicely done Lau family!

[@jjstarrprod]

I might be biased since I'm from Chinese ancestry, but compared to a classic omelett which is flat and monotextured hard, or a french omelette which is just wet and runny, chinese layer stacked stir fried eggs is my favorite way of cooking eggs, since it's pretty versatile in its consistency : it has multiple layers of semi-solid cooked egg, and with some silky runny parts between the layers, which add to the variety of textures. It basically has it all, which is awesome.

[@fhf8735]

I'm a huge fan of Chinese cuisine and always watched videos to try and recreate them at home. I stumbled across your channel few months ago but only recently have been watching it on a regular. I love your videos and can really see and feel the love and passion you have for each meal you cook starting from prep time right through to sitting and eating with your family. It's so beautiful to see and inspires me to want to follow your recipes as I find them easy and simple to follow. I look forward to watching more n more videos as they come out. Thank you again, all the way from Palmerston North, NEW ZEALAND 🇳🇿

[@K3L1evt]

Love this! When I was younger, my parents made this all the time. So simple, but sooo 🤤!

[@kirst4666]

This was delicious. I had a bit of difficulty stacking the layers but will get better with practice. A simple and tasty dish thank you. I watch you and Chinese Cooking Demystified. Both of you have made me appreciate Chinese cooking and taught me much xxx

[@jasonbig1353]

I made this by following this recipe… it turned out to be just perfect. Thank you, sir!

[@Josh_Green44]

I actually made this for my parents after I saw your original Short video. Worked very well, although my wok doesn't get hot enough to get that puffy fluff. Still really came out great.

I've been watching this channel over the years, and I love how yeye Lau is so much more comfortable teaching us online how to make his recipes now compared to when this started. He used to be so stiff and uncomfortable early on. Now his love for cooking & teaching, and his natural personality really shines through. What a lovable youtube personality. Thank you to your family, now I've also begun cooking chinese cuisine because of you and this channel. 🙏🙏

[@dianejohnson9904]

Yum! I’m definitely trying this one!

[@zeldapinwheel7043]

I LOVE Cantonese style eggs. I'm so glad you shared this! I'm actually a little upset I didn't know how to make these until recently. and the peeling shrimp, too. I think a lot of people just don't know the easiest way to do things. So many people have been conditioned to think that everything is hard, or time consuming. Or that the temperature of their stove or oven might not be correct, and how to find out, if you can't afford to fix it, they don't know how to compensate for that. Ex: you bake something according to directions. The temperature of the oven isn't correct, but they don't know that. They assume they did something wrong, it's their fault, and they can't cook, and they just can't do it right.its not their fault! Bad oven! It happens a lot! And probably your landlords oven, not yours.

Really appreciate your dad sharing the true ways of cooking. It gives me hope and also is a good lesson to all to teach as much as you can. Wisdom to one’s own is good but to teach to all is great. Thanks again.

This is a favourite of mine in HK, and had often wondered how it was cooked. Thanks for the video!

Hello again from Sydney, Australia. As mentioned before my dad came from the same village as yours did. Definitely cook this dish.

[@Cptk41]

I so enjoy watching your father cook. Thank you so much for sharing his recipes and showing us all what a cool dad and family you have! I eat the ketogenic diet so there is lots of things I can’t eat that he makes but this egg and shrimp would be perfect. Can you ask him is it’s necessary to add the sugar and cornstarch? Those are two no no’s on my diet but I think I could get around it.

Thanks for all the amazing little tips too-- I remember them all and they've been genuine game changers (hence the obnoxious fist-pumping, dancing and hollering done in my kitchen).
