Please keep the child away from the dangers surrounding him. Knife n hot water n fire are not items for a child's leisure.

Mui Mui stole the show! She is too adorable. I kept looking at her instead of watching Daddy Lau cook. 😅 Happy birthday, Mui Mui 🥳

[@hmrhuang]

lol, me too! =)

[@IanTheWoodchuck]

Your father is an absolute TREASURE! I'm so glad you're documenting his recipes, because authentic ethnic recipes are so hard to find explained CLEARLY by people that have been making them. I love that you're using subtitles so we receive all the knowledge your father is giving us without having to worry about language barriers. I had never heard about the boiling water trick even though I've been cooking scallops and other seafood for my entire life (New England family). I have always loved Asian cuisine, so to get these recipes and tips straight from a Master is a privilege!

[@masiiharwood6082]

I was worried about the child being so close to the cooking area, she also wasn't properly belted in the high chair and could've fallen. Please look after your children❤❤❤

[@pyannie6904]

Not to mention the possible oil splatter.

[@lawrencengu9505]

I would say the same, but you beat me to it. Overlooked small details like this were the cause of accidents. Then when the damage is done, and regrettably can't turn back time. You can never be too careful with safety.

[@mariekeung7187]

Mui Mui is adorable. Obviously, she loves Grandpa's scallops, the way she kept going for it. LOL. Happy birthday, mui mui!! The dish looks absolutely delish!! Another great one by Daddy Lau!

Wow! She’s already a year old. Boy, the time just goes so fast. Happy birthday young lady, and look, she liked the scallops. Good for you. 😊🎉👋 I am so making this recipe today. Thank you.

Thank you for this video. Mui Mui is so adorable.

[@milliewong8746]

Thanks so very much for sharing your dad’s cooking skills and knowledge!! I tried the prawn recipe yesterday and it’s as good as from a Cantonese restaurant and that’s why I come back tonight for this scallop one… and it worked again! Your dad’s technique is so authentic, clever and yet effective. It means so much to us living overseas alone and missing the homely flavours!! Please pass my gratitude to master Lau!! ❤❤

[@tikwunghkuok980]

Thank you A-Hong and uncle Lau for your precious efforts in introducing the best of our geniune Cantonese cruisines! So glad that traditional Cantonese dishes are well explained & loved by channel's viewers. btw i DO LIKE the Sze-Yap accent uncle Lau showed. Make me feels like at home.

[@edthelazyboy]

Mui Mui is indeed really cute. However, I was constantly worried that she will get cut by the cleaver if she reaches out too far or get splatter burns especially during the wok stir fry, even though I was watching a prerecorded video. I guess it's just me being a father.

[@joyjoy517]

Thank you, Uncle Lau! We live in NorCal and his recipes and cooking methods just make our lives closer to Chinese culture! Just made this dish and my son loved it! The Lau family is a true treasure of Chinese culture bringing it to world class level!

The techniques in the video were fabulous, can't wait to make this, and happy birthday Mui Mui!!💕💕💕

Would it be possible to get a 蝦餃 and 豆腐花 recipe video in the future? I recently discovered this channel and it has really made me want to cook some of these which I enjoyed eating back home in Canada as a Cantonese Canadian who grew up in an area with many Chinese immigrants. I don't have the luxury of going out to a local restaurant to eat these anymore since I moved to Japan five years ago.

[@chichibangbang3667]

Happy birthday, Maya. This is a wonderful dish. 😉 Oops Randy, when you did the translation for the dish, you have "clams" listed instead of scallops.

[@shiroyt4185]

Actually to cut the asparagus more safely, can hold them with your flattened left hand, thumb tucked in, then cut at a 45 degree away from your left hand. Cut the length of the asparagus gradually from right to left. The left hand acts as a pulling force is actually easier than what Grandpa Lau showed us. Of course, work with a sharp knife and exercise caution at all times.

This sounds more confusing

[@HaggisParty]

Super good dish! If you have access to good scallops, you can skip the boiling water and wine part since it'll ruin texture and make it really hard to get them dry enough for a nice browning. Only frozen scallops have that nasty smell usually

[@ALEXI778]

What is the best way to stir fry with frozen vgetables?

[@cherrycoke76]

I was so worry the hot oil would splash on baby when Papa Lau adding the scallops. I think the baby was sitting too close to the stove.

[@maninifarmer1338]

When buying scallops, ask if they are wet or dry scallops? Dry scallops fry up better, wet scallops will have additives added. Dry scallops usually are more fresh. Many times the person behind the counter won’t know the difference.
