[@faithnelson6069]

looks soo great! i love sticky rice, but could not think about making it at home, because it seemed so complicated because of the lotus leaves. ask dad if he ever thinks about selling his cured pork belly at the farmers market or if he has a source for this?

[@lalalaura747]

I used the recipe and followed your dad’s instructions. The rice turned out so delicious and had enough to freeze for another meal. Awesome tip to salt and flavor the water with dark soy before cooking the rice. Thanks.

[@lorieladignon]

I love it ❤thank you for sharing ❤🇺🇸

[@plattitude]

Your dad is such a great teacher. Even though I have no experience making Cantonese food, he really makes me feel like I can do this!

[@MadeWithLau]

Awwww that's amazing! That's definitely his goal (and mine too!) You totally can do this :)

[@Srvrdown57]

I love this so much!!! Preserving family tradition and history, this is so important!!! So much of human history has been lost to memory and interpretation. This is 100% a record for all to watch for years to come. I love the videos that include your family around the table.

[@MadeWithLau]

Ahhh thanks for the love!! We really appreciate it. And I couldn't agree more!!

[@Mochan1]

Mr. Lau, i turn emotional watching these videos. My dear grandfather passed away 10 years ago this month. He was a chef in hong kong before coming to the US many decades ago. I miss him dearly and wish that i could have recorded him cooking before his dementia ultimately took his life. These videos with your father fill an empty void in my heart and i am forever grateful.💕

[@greatwhitenorth3717]

I would say your dad is a treasure. We are wealthy because you have shared him with the world. I am going to make every recipe: its all the secret steps and techniques that I love. And he makes it so anyone can do it!

[@kylieshaye6562]

You're so lucky to have a dad like that! He reminds me of my grandpa who was born in Scotland. He was a great cook and I learned to much from him. We lost him when I was 9. The time you have with people like that is priceless!

[@ThePondemoniumshow]

I just have to say how thankful I am for your channel and your dad’s cooking/teaching. I’m a 4th gen Chinese-American that’s lost a lot of touch with my Cantonese/Toisan roots, and after discovering and watching your channel for a bit now I feel like I’m remembering so many parts of my childhood and all the great food I ate growing up! I’ve already replicated your dad’s char siu, fried rice, chow fun, honey walnut prawns, and gai lan recipes and I can’t wait to give this one a whirl. Thanks for all of the hard work you and your dad put in to make these videos!

[@BluesBoyJonny]

Randy, thank you and your dad for this and all the other videos. I've watched through many and tried a number of recipes! They bring back a taste of childhood and recipes I've lost when my mom passed away. It's also so refreshing to hear Cantonese again.

[@jackietran1644]

I'm so grateful for him as an educator. Thorough yet concise, confident yet approachable. He's inspiring.

[@t21dml]

Great vid. I'm half Cantonese half white and lost my dad last year , will miss him cooking noodles for me every Sunday now. Treasure these moments ❤️

[@arcticgod619]

Another tip is to add the water used from rehydrating the mushrooms and shrimp for cooking the rice.

[@seokhuichin7275]

Followed Daddy Lau's recipe for sticky rice and it turned out wonderful. So far, I've tried your ginger scallion oil and whisking porridge to create a smooth congee texture. All received rave reviews from my family. Thank you!

[@cathyjohnson290]

I was born and raised in Hawaii but have lived in the South for all my adult life. I finally made it back after six years (Covid was partly responsible) in Nov. 2022. I recognized every place you guys went to and it brought back many great memories. It was so nice to see how your families enjoyed Hawaii. I've enjoyed all of your dad's dishes.

[@patriciang6631]

Mr. Lau is the best! I made this today and couldn't believe how delicious it came out. The trick is not to deviate from the way he does things. Follow him step by step and the result will be great. I love his turnip cake recipe as it has become my go-to make at home dim sum food. 谢谢刘厨师！

[@rosemarywong3199]

I love watching these videos Randy. My Chinese mother in law cooked us beautiful home styled Cantonese meals when my kids were growing up and I'm so grateful to her for that. I can now learn to make authentic Cantonese meals myself thanks to your dad. I made Turnip Cake yesterday and will try some this weekend.

[@CWingsyun]

Lo mai faan is one of those warming dishes that calls to mind lovely family gatherings. Definitely need to try this some time. Would also love to learn Papa Lau’s cured belly pork recipe!

[@RobtheWizard07]

Love you channel and your father’s recipes and passion. I would love to see a video on how he cured the pork belly. Keep up the great work.

[@restaurantman]

This invokes comfort food memories. Full of nostalgia.

[@leahangel2949]

I'm 100% with your dad on lap cheong being essential to the flavor of a good lo mai fan! Unless you're vegetarian, don't skip it!

[@toniiiiiitoni]

My partner and I are vegans but we love watching your channel so much. Usually, we just substitute whatever we need to. Such an amazing cook!

[@pulp420]

My Cantonese is really bad. It’s always been half English and Cantonese when I speak with my parents. And now since I left the nest a long time ago, I can go weeks or even months without speaking it to anyone. But watching these videos, at first I had to read the subtitles, but now I can understand your family without being dependent on the subtitles. Thank you

[@xtasLOCO]

This is a pretty common phenomenon with Chinese American families. I wish it wasn't the case since I see Korean families still speak fully in Korean between parents and kids, and the kids are very fluent in Korean just as they are in English. Maybe Korean parents emphasize the importance of their language and culture.

[@K3L1evt]

First gen ABC here too -- same issue but found that watch Chinese newscasts, dramas and variety shows

[@aconite23]

One of my favourite dishes of all time! My late grandmother used to shape the rice into a mountain and rub brandy all over the surface to give it even more fragrance, and since her passing, I've unfortunately been unsuccessful in getting the same taste anywhere, even when trying to replicate her recipe. It's really great seeing all these traditional dishes being shared online, as I feel a lot are starting to disappear due to the lack of knowledge on how to prepare them (some are also super tedious, so people tend to not want to prepare them). Thumbs up from Singapore!

[@yny13xx]

My aunt cooks it the way granny Lau did - stir-fry everything first then cook it in rice cooker. She also adds chestnut, ginkgo seeds, taro, and sometimes raisins to the mix. But laap yuk is hard to find here, so we only have laap chong, dried shrimps, and sometimes ham, as meat ingredients.

[@michaelmckinley6510]

I just want to say how very much I love your family videos, and your Dad's cooking. Y'all just warm my heart, and make me hungry at the same time! Over the last 2 years I've been teaching myself to cook all manner of Asian cuisines. with the help of channels like this...and I can't wait to try this dish, and serve it to my dear Chinese friend who's 80 and was born and raised in Hong Kong!

[@MadeWithLau]

Ahhh thank you Michael! We really appreciate the love :) We hope you and your friend enjoy trying our recipes!

[@Maelarix]

If y'all made a cookbook I would buy it in a heartbeat :D

[@crzyGlow]

I like your dad’s trick adding the salt and dark soy to the rice water … genius! Great video….one of my favorite rice dish

[@alumpy-acho112]

ahhh... this brings so much nostalgia, my grandmother used to make this for me all the time. Thank you for sharing!

[@MadeWithLau]

Our pleasure! I bet your grandmother's was amazing :)

[@CherryCindyy]

Thank you so much for preserving these recipes! I’m also Cantonese but it’s hard to learn recipes from my family. These are so clear and it’s heart warming to learn from Daddy Lau ☺️

[@mamacheung]

I like eating sticky rice. Thanks very much for your recipe! 😊

[@zalibecquerel3463]

Heh. Every episode: "How can I make this vegetarian" And Daddy says "Don't add meat" I look forward to this every episode!

[@MadeWithLau]

Facts 😅

[@johcx1994]

You can add vegan/vegetarian meats. I believe Chinese cooking is quite versatile,so long as we nail the basics... the rest is really just variations. Since the rice dumpling also uses glutinous rice, then we can make something similar as a base. Then eat with whatever we want. Dont mix a salted egg/salted duck yolk into the rice... eat with it on the side perhaps but don't mix and cook with the rice.

[@AP-yt4oo]

@@johcx1994 the great thing about Chinese cooking is that vegetarian and vegan tastes are already well established as evident by countless veggie restaurants in Asia. imo veganism/vegetarianism is embraced by Asian cuisine and not as meat heavy as western tastes.

[@AudreysKitchen]

@@AP-yt4oo this may be true, but there are also dishes that really shouldn't be substituted. This is cured meat rice 😅

[@urbanlm]

This is exactly the flavor I remember growing up. My grandmother used to make this sticky rice, but she passed in the early 1990s. We often had lo mai gai at dim sum, but it was never quite the same. Made it for the first time today and it was great. Thank you Daddy Lau!!

[@lilyb8577]

Love supporting this channel! I’m literally going through each recipe to plan for my weekly meals. So far my weekly meal plan is The stuffed tofu Smashed cucumber with friend salt and pepper sole fish Claypot rice Sticky fried rice Anything else you would recommend? I have 1 picky husband and 2 kids under 5.

[@Flynsy]

All your videos give me so much nostalgia and remind me so much of my family back home. I miss their cooking but hopefully when I make some of these recipes for them, they'll be proud :D

[@MK-tn6pz]

Sorry if I've commented before but I make this all the time. I freeze lap cheung and pork belly in portions to make a batch of this. I grow green onion/ scallions. I always have the other ingredients in my pantry. Today I made it with garlic scapes in place of garlic. This method your dad shows is very efficient. I always think my Cantonese speaking Dad who loved to cook is smiling down on me when I cook this.

[@elizabethchin3165]

Wow! You have made this lo mai fan so easy. Next time could father Lau teach us how to make lap mei. Another great recipe.

[@helloaiya]

Good evening, do you have any videos on salt curing meat and or fish? You are blessed to have such a great Dad to show you how these things are done! :) Great video brother!

[@rosielee9973]

Thank you uncle Lau for giving me great inspiration with your delicious recipe. I have been doing a bit of research on sticky rice recipes and yours beat above the rest. Others were too much of a hassle and time consuming having to cook the rice first, put all ingredients together and then steam again. I followed your recipe and replaced the shrimps with diced celery sticks and marinated chicken instead of the cured pork due to not having those two ingredients. It came out really well and very tasty. Thank you.🙏❤

[@7franny7]

I just cooked this rice using your dad's recipe and can you make sure you thank him for me? It is delicious and perfect

[@FoodandTing]

Ah these videos gives me such nostalgia of my parents cooking these meals for me as a kid and I’m learning my dad’s recipes now to pass down to my (half English/half Chinese) children (age 3 and 4) who love lor mai fan!

[@beelee5103]

The ratio of rice to water is perfect! The recipe is simple to follow and clear. The rice turned out delicious!

[@Becausing]

Ugh your dad is SO COOL!

[@MadeWithLau]

If I'm half as cool as he is when I'm in my 70s.. I'll be very happy.

[@youngwill8820]

You father is so cute when he just explains everything away in Cantonese.

[@lauries3205]

Love this dish. My mom and aunt made this and now I make for my kids. We always cook the chinese sausage in the rice cooker...the fat from the sausage coats the rice. Then we take out the lap cheon chop up...pretty much all the same ingredients stir fried and mixed all together. So awesome your dad makes his own cured pork belly. His dish looks delicious ❤❤❤

[@SunnyBunny84]

you can tell that chef lau is so loving and passionate,

[@hellosarahlee]

Loved this dish so much growing up. I have fond memories of my mom making this very laborious dish by starting with stir frying soaked sticky rice in a wok and gradually adding water to hydrate the rice grains, kind of like how you would make risotto. Also, been curious about this: Who is the lady that sits next to Kat? Is that her mom? Thanks so much for sharing all of your family recipes and being an inspiration to cook more Cantonese food!

[@gabriellechung356]

Thank you for this video. I’m a 5th generation Chinese American and miss my late dad’s cooking skills so much. Our entire family looked forward to this dish, especially when my dad would stuff the Thanksgiving turkey with this rice-so delicious he always had to make a huge pot so relatives could take home leftovers!

[@pyoung7257]

I've always wanted to try and make this at home (none of the restaurants in our area have it anymore), but only knew of the other method where the uncooked rice is cooked directly in the pan...and I really didn't want to stand there stirring for over 30 minutes. Can't wait to try this alternative!

[@princess_4323]

When you do it in rice cooker, do you add the stir fried ingredients to the uncooked rice, then cook all together or after the rice has been cooked?

[@dennislee--529]

Nei Hou Ma Chef Lau (你好嗎, 劉師傅)? What a very nice dish you got. And there are a lot of great dishes you had made. By the way, do you have curry dishes like Chinese Chicken Curry (雞肉咖喱)?

[@juliatam1657]

There r a lot of cooking videos out there but I like the way how Chef Lau would show it step bt step in detail and share all the secrets. Also the son will explain the origin or any information about the dish that makes it more interesting and the interaction between your family is great. Even my girls are interested about it....Quick question, I followed the recipe but the rice came out soggy..would it be the rice brand or do I need to cook the rice right after I wash it? 🤔

[@TheLadyLuck523]

Thanks for the video on sticky rice! It's very nostalgic for me since my mom used to make it for family gatherings. However, she passed away before me and my sisters could get the recipe. I managed to cobble together several recipes and we agreed it was close but it was missing an ingredient. We think we finally figured out that the missing ingredient was preserved pickled radish (sweet kind). It added the crunch that we felt was missing from the dish. Is this normally added to sticky rice?

[@MadeWithLau]

We don't add it here but I bet it's amazing! The crunch in this one comes from dried shrimp, lap yuk, etc :) Sometimes peanuts are added too.

[@lisacastano1064]

My mom added ginger to hers.

[@jillianrh9996]

This looks amazing! I love learning from these videos. One question: could you use the fresh version of the mushrooms instead of the dehydrated ones?

My grandfather, who was also a chef, knew I loved this and made this for me on special occasions. It would take him hours because he liked the (raw) rice cooked in a wok, not in the rice cooker. It would take him hours to do this. I miss him. Enjoy this precious time with your dad!

[@jeremylow7757]

That's 生炒糯米饭。It's the best version but takes so much longer. Ultimately it's up to the invididual to decide on whether you want spend 30 minutes to get 85-90% there, or spend 2-3 hours to get 100%. Takes a lot of patience and skill to do it right as you have to constantly stir fry the rice and keep adding water bit by bit. If done right, the reward is amazing.

[@tinayu4540]

@@jeremylow7757 I didn't know there was a name for it! Thank you. As you mentioned, it did take 2-3 hours of being on your feet. My gong gong was making it for me into his 70's. Honestly, I've never had it as tasty as his. I've tried making it in an Instant Pot, but the taste isn't even close. It might be the rehydrated dried-scallops he added. Super yummy umami flavor. I think it was the love he put into it. Again, thank you.

[@czeshirecat6278]

This is one of my favourite, simple yet complex flavoured staple cupboard/freezer meals. Dried sticky rice, shrimp, shiitake, wood ear, frozen Chinese sausage. I don’t bother with the pork but other ingredients are optional as it’s tasty even with the minimum. So easy to prepare as much are soaked before chopping. At the restaurants here, that I’ve tried, it’s been served stuffed into a bamboo pipe. Interesting but results in small portions ;)
