Support us on Patreon - www.patreon.com/madewithlau Check out our blog post: madewithlau.com/recipes/white-cut-chicken Edits to the recipe / translations: - My original translation for Kwai Fei chicken being more tough.. it's more like "dense", which has a more positive connotation than tough in English. - White Cut Chicken is a literal translation of Bak Chit Gai, but another name for it is poached chicken!

[@_jonathanlue]

Can you do the technique of using cornstarch when making beef dishes? Oh and using egg white as well! It's interesting how it tenderizes the proteins really well, and makes it taste so much better. Your dad probably knows a lot. And is that technique really traditional Chinese?

[@sarahlew1168]

I love this kind of chicken but almost enjoy the sauce with rice even more 😂 Love the idea of a CNY series - Are we going to see neen goh? And many thanks for translating the meanings behind the many sayings and the food associated with it. Never knew what they meant

[@hailhummus]

I'd love to see more fish or vegetable dishes, though I realize that esp in Cantonese cuisine the veg prep is pretty basic. Maybe Chinese BBQ at home, if it's feasible (eg siu yuk and/or char siu)

[@MadeWithLau]

@@hailhummus Those all sound amazing! Stay tuned for tomorrow. We have fish one coming out!!

[@MadeWithLau]

@@sarahlew1168 haha I hear you on the sauce! Yay glad you are excited about the CNY series and are enjoying learning about the sayings! YES we actually just filmed that yesterday. We will be editing this week and releasing next Tuesday ❤️ Can't wait to share it with you soon!

[@cinderellarai]

I’m Nepalese, my dad doesn’t represent all Nepalese dads but my dad cooks and prepares food just like your dad. He loves us so much and he also knows what our favourite part of the meat is and always serves meat equally for us and eats bones for himself 🥺🥲😭 Even if he grills few pieces of meat as a quick snack while making the main dish, he never eats by himself and always calls us to have for a single piece. Your dad Mr. Lau reminded me of my dad and I miss him so much and can’t wait to eat his dish when we meet again ❤️🥰🙏🏼 God bless all the caring and loving dads ❤️

[@MadeWithLau]

🥺😭 Fluffy Chan your comment has really moved me so much. I'm so grateful to you for taking the time to share how dad reminds you of your dad. Each memory you described of your dad is just like mine. I can't wait for you to be reunited with your dad as well. Sending you so many blessing and thanks for your kind message ❤️

[@cinderellarai]

@@MadeWithLau Thank you too for your kind reply. My parents are visiting us in the UK soon as my dad works abroad. Your videos make me emotional and nostalgic at the same time, I look back at my past mistakes that might’ve hurt my parents at times. May God bless your sweet family 🙏🏼❤️🎊

This is one my favorite dishes in the world. The ginger sauce is really important too.

[@alvina_k]

Sometimes people are not accustomed to seeing the entire chicken served this way, esp with the head on the plate. So seeing Daddy Lau present it as such and your family explain the symbolism was really beautiful and respectful. Well done!

[@MadeWithLau]

Aw thanks so much Alvina ❤️ So glad to hear that. There's so much beauty and heart behind cooking a whole chicken for loved one. Glad that you feel we explained it in a way that highlights that!

[@nimuroji]

This brought me to tears. My Amah recently died. My dad learned to make this from her and it was a favourite treat in our family (though we steamed the whole chicken rather than boil). It made me remember some of my cultural heritage and my childhood. Thank you Uncle Lau

[@jadelittleeagle]

I also see that your dad ate the bones parts , & saved the meatier parts for the rest of the family ... he is kind & generous

[@MadeWithLau]

So kind and generous. He knows too what everyones favorite part is so he makes sure everyone gets the piece they love 🙇🏻‍♂️🙇🏻‍♀️

[@ht012805]

He’s so nice and a great chef! I actually preferred the meat near the bone parts, a lot tastier!

[@christopherqchin4319]

The bony part is tastier. Same thing with fish head, tail and area along the spine

[@jaunman71]

As all Chinese ppl know bone parts the tastiest

[@raymondcheung409]

Most cantonese actually enjoy the bone part of the chicken cause it's usually tastier and fatter..

[@kimmnm4859]

I so enjoyed THIS… I am black and was honored to learn from a master like ur dad and mom…children today don’t even realize how easy they have it! Traditions from all cultures should be honored and embraced by the generations after them….I watch most times to get wisdom from ur dad….the way ur son looks up at him: priceless!!! Dads are underrated….God is love

[@rbreynolds]

I really appreciate this approach of lots of dialogue to give us an insight into a little culture and way of life instead of just a robotic way of showing how to make something. Having all the dialogue during the meal is great for those that just want to know how to make it and at the same time for those that are interested in the culture can feel like they are at the table with you. It really ads that extra personal touch that you don't get much of nowadays. Thanks for sharing!

[@michelletran6348]

I love that you have a platform for your dad to continue doing what he loves & is great at - how satisfying & content that must make him feel. It’s not always easy for ppl to retire & unable to achieve that sense of accomplishment again. Judging by his enthusiasm to teach each step properly, he is really loving what he does.

Stumbled upon your channel today and I’m in love with it. As an asian American growing up I feel like most of us take for granted our home cooked meals.

yeah i wont be able to eat my parents cooking when im in college so might as well learn now

[@velvetyblack]

I love how he teaches how to check for doneness instead of giving a specific cook time. That's something you get from experience and really helps a learning cook!

[@theleopard3310]

He said an approximate cooking time of 35 to 40 minutes (at 4:35 ) and that's because the cooking time is dependent on the size/weight of the chicken. He poked the thigh area where it takes the longest to cook to ensure all of the chicken is cooked. In this video, blood was coming out, so he cooked it a little longer.

[@eded2777]

I really like the Cantonese your father speaks. Cantonese is a very lively language that changes throughout time and have many variations across the globe. You father's Cantonese retain a lot of features that is fading away in some way, and I love the way that I can find these features in your father's speech.

[@czeshirecat6278]

I’d love to learn a Chinese dialect, but it’s confusing to select the best one for conversing in the uk.

[@DragonEdge10]

​@czeshirecat6278 When in doubt, learn Mandarin. Almost every Chinese person will speak or understand standard Mandarin since it's the standard language of China and is more easily intelligible to the other Chinese dialects than the other way around typically (especially in the case of Cantonese). If you know your local Chinese population is more from Hong Kong or Guangdong/Guangzhou, then Cantonese would be the one. From an ease of learning perspective though, Cantonese is quite a bit harder, having iirc 6 tones (some of which are far more subtle than the ones found in Mandarin) as compared to the 4 tones of Mandarin. For reference, I speak Canto and have for all my life, but still get some words and tones screwed up, and on top of that it's way more rough to get rid of the rust when you don't use it. In comparison, despite never having really learned Mandarin, and never using Mandarin, I can understand a good 70% of normal speaking and get by in a pinch with my knowledge in Canto alone. Regardless though, the time and dedication needed to learn these languages is immense, as it is with most new languages. Luckily for you, if your goal is to be able to communicate with locals in their native tongue, the best way to learn and practice is to speak it. Find some friends and get practicing :)

[@lwh7301]

His Cantonese is slighted accented. His first language is obviously Toisan.

[@tikyip3489]

There were a few really cool tips in this video. 1. Puncture a hole so the water can flow and cook more evenly. Brilliant! 2. Cooking the ginger rather than pouring hot oil into the ginger scallion bowl also made the sauce much more fragrant. 3. The chopstick trick to take out the chicken. I may or may not have said "look what Uncle Lau taught me" to my wife tonight. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

My God I’m a black woman, always loved Asian Cuisine, just happen to see Daddy Lui. I’m 66yo and back in the day in DC we grew up on authentic Chinese cooking. Those were the good old days. If I don’t prepare it myself I rarely eat out bc f the lack of authenticity. But now that I’ve found this channel I’m going to give it my best shot trying his instructions. Love the teaching. He’d be an exactly cooking instructor. Thankyou Daddys’ Son

[@nonsequiturillogicality]

I am so happy I found this channel and appreciate you and your Dad's videos. I am an ABC living away from my parents, so my Cantonese (which was already elementary level to begin with) has gotten so much worse now that I only talk to them a few times a week. Listening to you and your dad talk, with the subtitles and voiceovers, helps me refresh my memory so much. I also miss my dad's cooking and never had the opportunity or interest to learn until now. Thank you!

[@alexdiaz4181]

Hello Mary How are you doing today?

[@MedalionDS9]

Is it because you know a different dialect of chinese like Mandarin, and he is speaking Cantonese? I find his accent quite clear and understandable if you understand cantonese language... but if you don't know any chinese... that's why there is english commentary and subtitles. The point of the channel is to share and preserve his cantonese culture, and his Dad obviously feels more comfortable communicating in cantonese

[@mhml13]

Yay! One of my favourite dishes! It's so interesting to see how Daddy Lau makes it since I grew up watching my mom make hers. There's only one difference that I noticed, my mom puts the green onion and ginger in a bowl with some chicken powder, heats up oil in a pan, and then pours the hot oil over the green onion, ginger, and chicken powder. I'm going to try Daddy Lau's way and see what the taste difference is! I make this at least once a month and it's honestly one of the easiest and most delicious dishes. The green onion and ginger sauce never lasts more than 2 days because we eat it all! It's so cute to see Cam grow up, he's changed so much from your earlier videos! It's so wonderful to see!

[@MadeWithLau]

Oh wow!! That's amazing that you make it so often. It really is so delicious and surprisingly easy. And the sauce... oh man it doesn't last long at our house too. We always have to make a new batch 😂 Let us know how it turns out and compares to your moms. We'd be curious to hear the differences! Thanks so much for following along and supporting. So grateful to be sharing these recipes :)

[@CourtneyinSF]

My family also does the method of heating the oil in a pot to sizzling and then pour it over the ingredients in a bowl (green onion, ginger, and salt). Everythig sizzles and bubbles when the oil is poured in and then quickly cools.

[@mhml13]

@@MadeWithLau I can report back that the adults prefer the heating up the oil method but the kid (5.5 years old) prefers the cooking it all in a pan method. I think the sharpness of the ginger and green onions mellow out in the pan method so that's why the kid prefers it. Either way, it's delicious!

He was a chef too, born in San Dong but lived mostly in Taiwan. Treasure your parents and every minute.

[@CourtneyinSF]

Wow this is the recipe I have been waiting for! I went and bought a high quality 3 pound chicken and will be making this tonight! i have never put sesame oil in my sauce before and I will definitely do it since Daddy Lau says I must! Also, it was super helpful to have him show us exactly how to cut the ginger and scallions so that I will have that restaurant quality texture! I have been chopping it up in chunks that are too big! It is also helpful that he suggests corn oil because I have been using canola (which is ok), or vegetable (gross), or peanut (pretty good.) I also will need to watch the part where he breaks down the chicken many times so I can get it right. It is truly amazing to see the knife go right through the thick bones of the thighs and drumsticks! I am scared to do it! I would love a Randy Challenge video where Randy has to chop up a whole chicken by himself after watching Daddy. I absolutely love the way the pieces of chicken are so uniform and pretty, my parents can do it but I have never been able to. I look forward to trying it tonight! Thank you so much!

[@MadeWithLau]

Yay!! Courtney you are so awesome. Can't wait to hear how your chicken turns out and how you like adding sesame oil into your sauce! Love that you enjoyed seeing how he cut the ginger and scallions. Wait till next week's video that I'm editing now. I love seeing how he chops the onions in that one! Haha I'm nervous to do that video challenge. I can imagine the look on my dads face in the background 😆😆 Thanks as always for your support!

[@CourtneyinSF]

@@MadeWithLau Ok maybe a Randy Challenge for a potential live stream one day! I am on this journey with you, cutting through bone made me HELLA nervous!

[@alejandrodelgado4465]

[@MadeWithLau]

Thanks so much Kimberly! We are so happy to hear this ❤️🙏🏼

[@armeyf]

I'm so grateful for these videos. Learning a variety of 'authentic' Chinese dishes has always been my wish. There are so many Americanized recipes out there. Thank you for sharing his wisdom.

[@MadeWithLau]

Thank you so much! We are so grateful that you found our channel, and we can’t wait to continue sharing many more recipes with you! ❤️

[@kevinliu5915]

YES I FINALLY KNOW HOW TO MAKE THE SAUCE

[@MadeWithLau]

Yay! We can't wait to hear how it turns out 😋

[@longsam4160]

I normally add abit of garlic to the sauce . Taste better!

[@elai3147]

seriously, have always cared more about the sauce than the actual chicken

Mom is a legit historian!

[@mtl5076]

You have no idea how happy I’m to stumble upon your channel! I’m so excited to make this dish! Thank you for showing us how to make this delicious dish! 🙂

[@MadeWithLau]

Oh wow, thank you so much for saying that. We are really grateful that you stumbled on our channel too! We can't wait for you to make this dish and to hear how it goes!

[@gchonel]

Big Respect to ur dad, he looks like a great man who has great experiences in his life thanks to how u tell his story. Also thanks for sharing his recipes, he is a good teacher, nice bond between u guys. Love the series.

[@TheLadyLuck523]

Thank you for the lesson on chicken cutting! It always helps to have a pro teach you. Thank you Daddy Lau! Lots of good tips and tricks to make your chicken tasty. Glad you're doing a series on Lunar New Year foods! Can't wait to see what you make next.

[@MadeWithLau]

Yay, so glad to hear you enjoyed watching him cut it! Thanks so much for watching and can't wait to share Lunar New Year recipes in the next few weeks ❤️

[@michelleyip96]

Just found this channel yesterday, and watched a few videos in a row. I love how it's all Cantonese recipes, and how you make them so accessible.

[@hailhummus]

Love the inclusion of the Toisanese idiom. Both sets of my grandparents were Toisanese and I'm sure my parents would get a kick out of me throwing that out there, esp since I can barely say anything else!

[@MadeWithLau]

Haha you've got to do it now! I would love to hear if they were blown away :) So happy to hear you enjoyed hearing this Toisanese idiom as well. I want to learn more because it's definitely not something I think many of us later generations know.

[@rijiskitchenlife1]

❤❤❤❤

[@SMan-zp3xe]

I have made this chicken hundreds of time. Today I followed your Dad's recipe to the letter. Th chicken turned out to be the best ever! Outstanding! I think the tips to poke a hole in the neck and the use of the ice bath made all the difference. Thank you to Dad and your beautiful family.

[@alexdiaz4181]

Hello S. How are you doing today

[@_jonathanlue]

We need a compilation video of randy just saying, "what's up everyone". CAUSE I always answer back.

[@MadeWithLau]

Hahaha I love how it accidentally became my catch phrase 😂 My wife randomly says it to me all the time.

[@PhilaPker]

Beautiful video demonstration of your Papa Lau cooking the chicken. I especially love the part where you film the whole family together eating food and explaining the symbolism of the chicken in Chinese culture. I am Chinese as well but have always timid around my family asking the cultural questions due to my very small understanding of cantonese to speak and listen. Thank you, you have pretty much created an essential channel for my personal use as well as many of us First generation Chinese-Americans who would like to have a deeper understanding of our ethnic culture and to possibly preserve it.

[@AndrewYPTang]

Known as pak cham kai to us, but pak chit kai to you. 😂 This is the best way to have chicken, in my opinion. You really get to taste the chicken, and its flavours are not covered with all kinds of sauces. The ginger/scallion combo enhances the taste, makes it really yummy!

[@MadeWithLau]

The dipping sauce really is one of the best parts! Totally enhances to flavor ❤️

[@jameshue55]

Pak cham kai has a cheeky meaning which is unprintable here so please call it Pak chit kai to avoid naughty jokes.If you are curious, check out from some street-wise elderly uncles.

[@AbsoluteFidelity]

In Malaysia we call it pak cham kai too.

[@AllenMar]

Yum! My favourite chicken! Bak Jahm Guy (White Chopped Chicken) in the Toisanwah I learned as a CBC (Canadian Born Chinese) has no naughty connotation as far as we (me + CBC spouse) are aware.

[@thetajay392]

I am from Hainan but living in Europe, and the white cut chicken is a signature dish in my hometown. One day my wife watched this channel, and she made the best white cut chicken I have ever eaten in my life. Thank you for the detailed recipe and video!

[@vq2vx]

Have been binge-watching your stellar videos. Miss my Dad even more, watching yours. Love how he becomes like a kid when CamCam comes on the scene, & how he 1st wanted your Mom to get the piece she likes 🙏 A request: if possible, please mention in the video &/or description, the other foods on the table. Sincere thanks to all of you again for sharing the love💖

[@MadeWithLau]

Thanks so much s m! 🙇🏻‍♂️🙇🏻‍♀️ We are so grateful to hear how much you are enjoying the videos and watching the whole family! It's an honor to hear that our videos remind you of your dad and hope that each new video brings back even more happy memories. Thank you for the request too! We've been playing with how to best do that and hope to share the other dishes we are eating during meal time within the video!

Taiwan 來的役情一年多很少外食；我不會做白切雞⋯看到劉師父教學課程、之後照著做超級好吃😋！謝謝🙏！劉師父美滿幸福家庭一👍🏻讚讚

[@MadeWithLau]

遲来的回復，非常感谢您的支持！老劉衷心祝福您及家人平安快乐！健康吉祥！

[@CourtneyinSF]

I made this tonight and the chopstick trick to check if it is cooked works perfectly! I know I had been taught that before but I forgot! So happy Daddy Lau teaches us these small details so we can practice and remember! Pulling the breastbone out of the chicken also made it SO much easier! Thank you again for this great video and for explaining every single step. I really felt close to my Dad and my grandparents making this chicken, which is one of my favorite chinese dishes and everyone always made it for me because they know I love it so much. White cut chicken is not just new years, but also love.

[@MadeWithLau]

🥳🥳🥳 we saw your photo on Instagram and it looks SO good!! Congratulations on making this for the first time. We are so happy to hear that making it also made you feel close to your Dad and grandparents. This really is a dish of love. We can't wait for you to make it for your family and loved ones for many years to come 🥰

[@rogersanoy8756]

I always love yo hear apah lau talking in cantonese. It reminds me of my brother In law and a few cantonese living here in Cebu City. Phils. My brother in law had a restaurant before here, cooking Cantonese style. One of the best coz all the cook or chef sre all Kung Tong Tan. And now its just memory. To chee

[@3boysnberry879]

I need to make sure to always keep ginger on hand for this sauce!

[@MadeWithLau]

Totally! We always have a large jar in the fridge ready to go 🙌 Makes everything taste delicious 😋
