Will you be able to provide a Veggie Claypot Rice Recipe video? Thanks for all the great videos!

[@glorialaw1743]

@madewithlau, can share with us more Chinese vegetarian recipes, it would be great!

[@gracechong7528]

Yessss more vegetarian dishes please. Thank you!

[@Kevin_Ng974]

More vegetarian dishes please, thanks!

[@edamame5540]

[@Indigoification]

Totally agree! I reluctantly eat meat because I have some very specific health needs but I still like to do a vego dish where I can. Definitely giving this recipe a try!

[@generaltso3]

would love a series of clay pot dishes!

[@sunshiney]

Thank you for the vegetarian dishes!

[@rafarabe]

Looks delicious and tasty.Glorious vegetarian dish.Hello from Spain.

[@waiguy]

I made this dish for dinner tonight. It was very tasty and easy to make. Mouth was watering before and after eating.

[@kyunghi]

beautiful

[@SimonAeberhard]

Nice! I always like to see traditional dishes that are by default vegetarian or even vegan. :) Probably can't cook this one without solid preparation of all the ingredients needed, though. :D But it looks nice! Thx!

[@Extragalactika]

at this point this guy's dad is pretty much the only thing keeping me from living off of cup noodles

[@TanksWorkshopMinis]

Does your dad love cooking or teaching more? He seems to love them both, but I wonder which is his current fave !

[@mallorykane2843]

finally made it over to the international grocery and picked up the few things i was missing and made it tonight. was so good, took me back to 20 years ago when i studied abroad in china :) thanks much

[@jennyhui2384]

Love this! More clay pot recipes please!

[@marisalee194]

Chicken and chestnuts clay pot? That sounds amazing!

[@neutral6941]

It looks delicious.

[@KJ-io4bh]

Great recipe, Daddy Lau! Randy, could ask your dad to show us how to make tofu and monkfish claypot 豆腐斑腩煲?

[@aolmonkey]

Please more vegetarian style dishes ❤❤❤

[@chrisly9241]

Don’t you eat pork

[@darrenquirk2269]

That looks great. Very helpful advice on using and looking after a claypot.

[@ILoveMusicbydyan]

Hello daddy lau. Good evening. Enjoy watching your cooking

[@vixlenz4104]

Wonderful recipe!! We really enjoyed it, thank you so much💕💕💕

[@litoloco4fish]

[@lindachan9505]

Love clay pot dishes. Will definitely try!

[@EdisonChau]

❤ I've Been loving these recipes

[@temmykitchen]

This recipe is simple and definitely will try it. I may use tofu puff to replace the medium firm tofu. Thank you for sharing. 😃

[@ailynkoay3285]

Lunar new year picks!!!

[@davidliu499]

Chef lau states in the video that the primary reason for using clay pots is heat retention; it does not enhance flavor. So, wouldn't a cast iron dutch oven be just as good?

[@lw8493]

So sweet daddy❤❤

[@mariaphan5766]

Wonderful ❤

[@mariaphan5766]

Thanks ❤

[@mathewweeks9069]

Your awesome and awesome video be safe out there

[@chenbou9377]

I always love your videos! Can you guys do more clay pot recipes?

[@kayee7]

I've been following you guys for a long time now! Love the canto recipes. I was wondering if you guys would start doing some postpartum recipes and even toddler friendly recipes. Living abroad means no access to a lot of food so it would be nice if I learn to freeze some food ahead of time so it'll be easy to reheat during postpartum period!

[@Angelaliuwong]

大廚就係大廚🧑‍🍳多謝你指點好多嘅小貼士, 好正嘅賀年素菜.

[@MadeWithLau]

[@phoebewong4439]

Thank you 😊 now I know how to cook clay pot on my electric stove ! Buying wok ring now 😊

[@michelletran6348]

劉師傅，你可唔可以教我哋煮一道齋菜叫做溫齋？ 唔該。

[@sflando]

Love your channel, would love a video on goon tong gao, the seafood dumpling soup you get at dim sum….mmmm

[@sharmishthabanerjee6852]

awesome recipe chef , please show Chinesse Skewers and Xinjiang Lamb recipe please

[@tyy6819]

Hi, may I know what kind of wok your dad used in this video? Is it steel carbon?

[@Rinkatink888]

I would love his hot pot version of salted fish, tofu and chicken.

[@izenkixiron5173]

I suggest using metric units (in this case, degrees Celsius) alongside the imperial units. Having to convert units mentally is taxing. 😅

[@mallorykane2843]

head over to the linked recipe, it converts units and lets you change the amounts for servings

[@PretzelSurvival]

I thought you have to soak the claypot in water before using. Also heat it up and cool it down slowly since you don't want to shock it?

[@KerrySpadafora]

Can you show us how to make Szechuan fish fillet dry wok

[@loredanavery3597]

Where did you guys get your clay pot? And what should we look for when buying one?

[@loredanavery3597]

Thank you for the clay pot buying link!

[@reidlai]

Is it possible to ask your Dad how to make 台山釀蟹？

[@pinkmonkeybird2644]

Just curious, why do you soak the seafood and beech mushrooms? Of course you need to wash them quickly, but they’ll absorb a ton of water if you let them sit in it for any length of time and get mushy.

[@user-ui1mr2en4n]

❤❤❤

[@junjiezhou7736]

阿叔好野

[@restaurantman]

👍👍

[@babypooful]

Would it be OK to use a metal pot?

[@mallorykane2843]

just made this and imo yes with caveats. the main draw of the clay pot seems to be to hold heat w/o burning which is great if you're serving a bunch of folks and waiting for them to get to the table or if people are slowly re-serving themselves from the warm pot as they eat. if everyone is ready at the same time then nbd for metal w/lid, if you turn it off when done and have a microwave for late comers also nbd, if you have a glazed cast iron pot then that's a good alt.

[@godsamazinggrace5331]

Claypot chicken in sesame oil

[@lokemmslokemms4294]

godamn bro, u eating all the good everyday mamamia

[@captaincutoff]

is that supposed to be 50-60C? 50-60F is below even room temperature

[@user-vx5bu8tr5y]

Monetise Claypot Tofu two ways using egg tofu and normal tofu.

[@alexwang5760]

i guess it’s 50-60 C when soaking the mushroom🤔

[@annielam7150]

🍄🍄🍄🍄🥘🥘🥘🥘

[@d3adkoolaid]

Why does your dad use Kikkoman soy sauce a Japanese soy sauce? Why Not a Chinese soy sauce as he mainly shows Chinese dishes. And I feel like it makes a difference in the outcome when I use Kikkoman vs my Chinese soy sauce

[@annielam7150]

I don’t eat garlics, onions, scallions, and leeks.

[@norml.3861]

You can't use a clay pot on an induction stove.

[@jinwu9423]

An electric stove heats the coils directly in contact, not a magnetic induction stove. In fact, induction was never mentioned. If you specifically want an induction compatible pot, Japan is developing an induction compatible donabe/claypot.

[@chubby_deity3143]

i always laugh when the topic of vegetarians/meat substitute dishes come up in western cuisine. There's just so much hassle and it almost never matches up to the original dish. When We have a perfectly amazing vegan dishes in Chinese cuisine. lol

[@cafelate9515]

Why you guys use non Chinese soy sauces and oyster sauces? We Chinese people will never use kikoman soy sauces and also will use Lee Kum Kai oyster sauce. Those lo fan brands are too salty and not for our taste. Please explain. Thanks

[@pinkmonkeybird2644]

They were sponsored by kikoman for some time, I believe.

[@chrisly9241]
