[@ashleytkl3036]

Love this. Been watching many of ahpak's video. He has good taste and skills.

[@naivves]

“Cantonese people will stuff anything”. This is so true!! My mom would stuff everything and anything. Thank you all for the video!!

[@Ottawa411]

I love stuffed peppers, but I have never seen anything like this before. I am definitely going to try this.

[@Allyheartzz]

I love this format where we also get to hear you and your dad talk in canto. I feel like I’m back home with my family.

[@MarcusRefusius]

That looks delish. My father in law was a great cook. He moved to the US from Canton to escape Communism. Attended High School, then joined the US Army and fought in both the Asian and European Theaters. He used to spend days making great meals. We miss him greatly. This I will make with him in mind. Thank you for showing us.

[@kpepperl319]

I really love listening to your father talk... He always reminds me of my grandfather. Your father is a treasure and your baby is the one of the luckiest kids around to have a grandpa who is a great cook... I'm jealous 😂

[@skratchingkat]

Thank you Lau's for creating these videos. I love how informative daddy Lau is in explaining his reasoning for doing tasks. I can't even eat seafood but I can't stop watching all your videos from start to finish!

[@lindaschouten7210]

You can make it with pork too!

[@shortmei]

My favorite type of stuffed peppers. My mom adds meat to the paste and also some green onions. We go light on the sauce, but even then the dish is so delicious! I like that Daddy Lau keeps the sauce separate and only pours it right before serving.

[@sciencebunny]

I appreciate that your dad still cares about the appearance of his dishes. We eat with our eyes too!!

[@ping3168]

[@catherinechan5492]

I follow your father's way to make the dish and it is very delicious. My family loves it. I also like the way your father talk. Envy you have such a great father.

[@368chen]

Love eating these during dim sum. I normally buy the fish paste in the tubs to make this, but I am going to try this recipe since everything is made from fresh ingredients. Thank you for posting!

[@edna3236]

Looks delicious 😋

[@puppypuppy3806]

Made them for dinner this evening. Super easy and super delicious! 😋😋 Thank you so much, Daddy Lau!! 😊😃

I just bought the Dexter chef's knife recommended by Lau, been trying to figure out what to make first with it, now there's no question in my mind it's going to be these! 👍

[@terrencetroy618]

It's 2a.m I'm inspired to make these today! Thank you Mr.Lau🙏🏾

[@blueyedmermaid1447]

Yesss.. many years ago I worked at a Chinese restaurant. The owner used to make these. I soooo loved them. Thank you Soo much for sharing the recipe. I tried once, to make these years ago. Didn't turn out very well. I know the owner used fish balls mixed with shrimp. I just never knew the technique... Again, thank you so much for sharing this. ❤️

[@yamarblackburn5642]

Easy steps thank you❤❤❤

[@lilmamarogue1073]

Yum. Im making this.

[@DianeH2038]

poor Nicole! my heart would break if I was allergic to sesame. very thoughtful of your dad to set some aside for her w/o the sesame oil.

[@restaurantman]

Another classic dish!

[@man-xy1cs]

Growing a lot of peppers right now. When the harvest comes in i will be sure to try it!

[@whatheck6797]

Definitely will try this ❤

[@tessagunputh8972]

Can’t wait to try making these. Always one of my dim sum favourites. Thanks

[@oumunfeiholeto6885]

[@pathua7692]

Mmmmmmm! I love this and any patty related dish❤

[@lilianchan4111]

This is one of the few things my mom would let me help her prepare so this warms my heart. I’m an expert in adding corn starch and stuffing the paste into the pepper. 😊

[@stephaniejee138]

My favorite!!

[@3riversgirl777]

delicious!

[@WokandKin]

Just learnt how to peel a shrimp in a more efficient way! Thanks, Daddy Lau! At home, Grandma uses the long chili and it definitely has a spicy kick to it. I'll have to try it with bell peppers one day!

[@mlam4301]

我最喜愛的一道菜，劉爸爸做得好好

[@jamesoconnor2753]

They look delicious! My Filipina wife makes something very similar with a chopped pork filling like your Dad mentioned. If anyone likes peppers, these are quite good!

[@lees7340]

My late mom made with a minced pork and Spanish mackerel filling. She also stuffed eggplants, okras, tofu and bitter melons with the same filling. We tried to recreate the same dish last Chinese New Year, the first one without my mom.

[@maraandreytchev5699]

I love you dad !

[@shamapes]

aaaahhhh- the view of the fridge hits my heart- our fridge too has at least 3 cartons of eggs- LOL 😂❤😂❤😂 Muy mom wanted me to look for your dad's secret to keep the filling in- she uses a mixture of ground pork and fresh fish paste as the stuffing. I will fore sure to show her this video- THANKS!!! ❤❤❤

[@NatJMan]

These are one of my favorites when we go to eat dim sum. Made them tonight, So yummy!! Thank you!

[@DecrepitBiden]

In Vietnamese culture, we have a similar dish, stuff tomatoes. My mom used to make it when I was a kid in the 80's. She would have some tomato sauce/paste in it, but not so much like spaghetti.

[@the_leez_1974]

I use to love bell peppers, but not anymore because it gives you gas if you eat alot. I love stuffed eggplant and tofu and also mushrooms and also tomatoes. So good. Thank you for sharing how you make the stuff 劉叔叔.

[@beargillium2369]

Gas is good for you don't be shy, it's just your body doing what it's supposed to!

[@BlytheBloom-ty2oj]

Thanks!

[@MadeWithLau]

Thank YOU, Blythe!

[@ltee323]

Thank you for all the wonderful recipes. I have only tried making 1 dish, stir fried noodles and my mom loved it. ❤️ May I please request for your dad’s version of dimsum chicken feet and rice noodle roll with the fried bread inside? I prefer your dad’s version because my mom is Cantonese and very picky with her taste buds. Thank you.

[@darkstar18498]

I will make this 😋

This is one of my fav Cantonese dishes! I am from HK but live in NYC :)

Absolutely love this cultural insight! You have truly inspired my own channel, so thank you for your guidance. True authentic cuisine & skillz. We had small bell peppers with cheese last night but this looks incredible, with a basic marinade. Love the family contribution. How many eggs do you all eat??? Hibb

[@vjthedj6317]

I love how Mr. Lau speaks Hoisan-wah from time to time in these videos. Would it be possible for him to make a video speaking my native language of Hoisan-wah? That would be awesome!

[@lindaschouten7210]

I love Chinese style stuffed peppers and aubergines! I always order the peppers but they are only served as 3 pieces per portion 😂 I will make this at home so I can have more! Already made stuffed aubergines once and we all loved it. Kids thought it was delicious!

[@sheteg1]

These are the best at dim sum. I get the trio of peppers, tofu & eggplant stuffed this way. And I’m not a huge fan of green peppers either, but funny enough like them this way. Excellent recipe. !

[@annan4843]

Top 5 fave dim sum item! Especially the ones with long horn peppers 🤤

[@margi9103]

I made these on Saturday.. I found the mixture went a long way and I had to cut up some more pieces of capsicum. Easy to make and great flavour.

[@ThatBritishHomestead]

man i love stuff peppers! have to try this I have a frigde fall of peppers due to out harvest lol

[@iandroo888]

[@karenl9601]

This was always one of my faves at dim sum. The fry cart would come around and cook it fresh right to order. So hard to find restaurants that still have the carts here in Vancouver BC. We can however find this paste made fresh in stores and sold in containers at the many Asian markets we have here.

[@janettecheong6991]

You are lucky. In Montreal the fresh ones no longer available, they used to come from Toronto. The stores only have the frozen ones from Malaysia. T&T will open its first store in Montreal soon, I hope they will have the fresh fish paste.

[@SorarikoMotone]

interesting, never thought about seafood filling for stuffed bellpeppers because of how much i'm used to beef+rice filling we do here

[@henryng9406]

Yummy 😋 😋 😋

[@laurenebejer5718]

I remember eating these in haizou right out of Jingmen.

[@charsiuwu8084]

As a Cantonese person myself, I agree. We will stuff -Anything-

[@henryng9406]

Typically, corn starch solution (no spices) is always available on the side, then put in to the sauce at the very end. Obviously this method requires experience to know how much corn starch sol'n is needed. Looks delicious. 👍👍👍🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳

[@pattyc281]

This dish bring back memories. If I substitute pork for shrimp due allergies, how long do I have to pan fried them since pork might take longer. Appreciated the old fashioned way of making this dish. 😋Thank you!

[@beargillium2369]

These minced small amounts should not take long
