[@sherilicious6446]

Please can you do black pepper beef fillet one day? I made your soy sauce chicken recently with ginger and scallion sauce and I loved it. Tasted authentic.

[@Mrs.VonChin]

It looks delicious and this video was released on my Birthday so I now feel obligated to make it! :) Can you ask Daddy Lau to teach us how to make Black Pepper Beef? It is my husbands favorite!

[@iancameron198]

CAN YOU SEND ME THE RECIPE FOR FRIED SHRIMP.THE TEMPORA BATTER

[@Mrs.VonChin]

@@sherilicious6446 Yes!!! Thanks! We have the same idea! :)

[@RoxasLov3r4Ev3r]

It always blows me away JUST how much both your mom and dad know about seemingly every single kind of food in the kitchen, how to prepare it, and how to pick the freshest/tastiest. Thank you SOOOO much for sharing not only the culinary secrets and recipes but also for showing us moments of your beautiful family, I love you guys so much!!!

[@rickmaynard2098]

I wanted to drop in and thank Mr. Lau. I followed his directions on how to make shrimp less fishy and it has worked consistently. I’m making shrimp gumbo for my family tonight and his shrimp preparation methods are perfect no matter what cuisine we make. Thank you, Mr. Lau. 🙏

[@jenny85]

Thank you for the simple 3-step recipe for stir-frying any combo of meats and veggies! This is going to make preparing a quick, delicious, and healthy meal so much easier 😋 👍

[@MadeWithLau]

Our pleasure Jenny!! Hope you love it as much as we do :)

[@natashadonnelly7939]

I made a double batch of this for dinner last night and it was amazing! I love that there is a video, When cutting the carrots, I didn't "get it" from the written instructions, but watching made it easy to learn how to make those diamond shaped carrots. I also love the amount of vegetables in this. I've made the NYT version many times and always felt I had to add more vegetables because it was so shrimp heavy and veggie light. This has a perfect ratio and the vegetables were crisp and delicious. Thank you so much sharing the recipe.

[@klg642002]

So happy for the health of your parents / family in general. Your baby is getting so big. My son is one now and has just started walking / taking over the house. I love the village mentality you have for his care. Family is everything, good luck to you sir. Keep up the good work. We really appreciate these intimate cooking videos, it is like we are in the kitchen with your dad as well. Your hard work is amazing.

[@MysticManifesting]

Wow! I've tried many stir fry recipes from the internet and from cookbooks. This is one of the best recipes I've tried. I can't tell you how happy I am with this simple, tasty sauce and the perfection of the vegetables. Just wow.

[@reirap1815]

This feels so homey! I’m away from home now and miss it so much. This video makes my heart warm, and the food looks delicious. Keep it up!

[@denysimo]

Is there already a @Made with Lau restaurant? Your Dad’s skill and experience is worthy to be passed on for the next generation.

[@ryanbrennanguitar]

It would be awesome to see a video on what a proper Chinese meal looks like. I love the bits where your family is eating and chatting and I always notice how there are always few dishes and a soup!

[@iama5556]

My feeling is you are all very lucky in your family to have such a nice Father ,he is doing everything !

[@joannabusinessaccount7293]

Please, Randy, can you write down what other dishes are on the table when you guys are eating? I’d like to learn how to pair dishes together for a full family meal! Thank you!

[@zl22lz]

Pretty sure in this video it's chow mien, the shrimp stir fry, vegetables and a tofu dish? Generally asian family meal goes for 3 side dishes(1 meat, 2 vegetables) + choice of carbs (noodles/rice) and then some soup

[@knv9090]

I made this today, and it turned out very good. Thank you!

[@Victoria-nx6rr]

Thank you for the simplicity and kindness in sharing the fool proof way to Cook. I never waste our money on any dish you teach us to prepare. Living on a budget you make us all feel like we are dining at a place. Thank you so much 😊

[@mabeluyeda4078]

I made this tonight with large shrimp, cauliflower, celery, and carrots. It tasted amazing. I also made the lobster stir fry for Christmas dinner, followed everything but added scrambled raw egg near end for lobster sauce-like gravy. So far the dishes are amazing. Reminds me of my Dad's Cantonese cooking! Can't wait to try more recipes. Thank you!

[@LTRaider]

I love your videos & enjoy your family’s interaction, it’s so very sweet, & the bonus to amazing food! Thank you all so much!

[@sarahwong2440]

I like how you recap the main steps of the recipe at the end of your newer videos! Great teaching. Also, I'm excited to try this recipe!

[@ezzyzhoo5139]

I really appreciate you bringing light to home style Cantonese dishes. Big up!

[@teamjay2837]

I posted this on Instagram but had to comment here also. Thank you, Laus!!! Snow peas aren't in season yet so we substituted with asparagus that was in the ground this morning. This was absolutely THE BEST Chinese dish we've ever had. We've tried 3 of vour recipes so far and it is changing the way we cook. You are wonderful and are making a substantial contribution to the Chinese culinary and cultural experience.

[@MadeWithLau]

Awwww thank you so much for trying the recipe!! Asparagus is a nice touch :) We really appreciate all your love and support! We’re excited to share more with you ❤️❤️❤️

[@jeffatgorbysgrill9480]

I love watching your dad cook. I have learned so much from him. Please thank him for me.

[@adrienneteitelbaum5643]

Fabulous we loved this restaurant quality recipe!! 🥰

[@cl9669]

Your dad reminds me of my dad so much, I'm so thankful for your channel and to learn all of these classic Cantonese recipes I grew up eating!

[@BigHeinen]

This is my favorite dish of all time! Thank You!!

[@cloudwaveASMRsleepsounds]

How was I not subscribed to y’all already?! I love your recipes! Thank you for sharing your family with all of us.

[@Wulfic]

this is a gamechanger at my house, ive been trying to look to cook these types of dishes at home and these are presented in such an easy to understand format to learn! thank you to both you and your dad!

[@yuriram3064]

I am cooking this right now. Happy New Year Lau family.

[@greatwhitenorth3717]

Another perfect dish and although I have made it many times I missed a few crucial steps and I like the addition of fish sauce. Not only does blanching make perfect veggies but also removes excess moisture and brings them up to temp and allows the dish to come together quickly and properly on the home stove which is...anemic compared to the jet burner woks at restaurants. And that was a shrimp deveining 101!

[@So_Bros]

Your videos are always amazing. I really enjoy watching your dad cook and you narrating the videos.

[@armoredcoreenjoyer]

THIS IS THE BEST SHRIMP I'VE EVER HAD. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

[@MrBassflute]

Again, thank you and your wonderful family so much. Your dad is brilliant! One day I’ll post a video of me playing Bang-di!

[@MadeWithLau]

Our pleasure! Please do :)

[@mimiorourke4978]

Made it tonight for supper and I've been told to save this recipe. Thank you for your very generous tricks to make it a success!

[@rustymuckybottoms]

Made this tonight, and even my pickiest eater went back for seconds. Thank you for sharing! You've blessed my family, and I pray blessings over yours!

I no longer buy fried rice bbq pork or chicken i have learned how to make this and i am loving it may God bless your parents..

[@tpetite4291]

This is one of my favorite channels! I adore cuisine from all different Asian regions and watching your dad likens to me watching one of my grandparents cook southern soul food. Now, I rarely have to shop to make these recipes bc all the sauces and spices are already in the cabinet😊

[@Ratqueenaisy]

This was such a big help! The way he explained WHY things needed to be added. Like the salt and vinegar you the blanching water for example. I had no idea why my veggies were looking so poor everytime I made stir fry!! Never knew that!

[@musclesmouse]

[@markust8904]

I was curious to see if my method in the past for stirfry was similar and was justified in Dad's technique and is pretty much right on with the exception of blanching first. which i will do from now on. Thanks for that.

[@janboyd227]

Another 'must make'. Thanks so much for walking you through the procedure. I never thought of blanching the veggies and this makes sense, of course! Thanks for this wonderful recipe.

[@drjensu]

I had a pound of shrimp and was trying to decide what to do with it... love your cooking videos with tips and recipes!

[@saraalb9304]

Thank you for the great recipe 😀 I saved it to make it some time later 😋 However can you please make a video about types of woks and how to choose the correct one? I'm confused and I don't know what type should I buy 🤔
