Thanks my grandma made jook with ox tail when i was a kid and wanted a recipe, appriciatw the great start

[@watersprite402]

Mid-Westener here! 🤚I want to thank you and your dad for making this video for all of us. I finally made it today and it is delicious. I put too much meat in mine but I will do a better ratio next time! I am Caucasian and have had many German/French/American dishes growing up. Because that is all my family knows. I have always loved Asian cuisine and it is very hard to find a restaurant that even makes Congee. Congee was a dish I had always dreamt of being able to enjoy. Now that I am 30, I am making more and more dishes I have always wanted to try. This was awesome and very wholesome for me. Thank you again! ❤

[@aywancfc]

That’s amazing you are open minded and willing to experience a variety of cuisines :) I hope your congee turned out amazing. Ps I am also a midwestern Michigander 🤚

[@Poopyduckling9999]

Don't Midwestern people hate everyone who isn't white and blonde

[@aywancfc]

@@Poopyduckling9999 this comment made me lol. I find a lot of Midwesterner’s to be super nice people once you get to know them. And a lot of people you don’t know as well..but yeah, racism is definitely an issue 💯

[@miaomiaochan]

To make cooking rice porridge easier, you should think about get a "fuzzy" rice cooker.

[@KaoHsingHsing]

How did you solve the problem of not having a Chinese wok in your kitchen?

[@alexandrahuang7731]

Omg their village dialect at the end. Man. Listening to them speaking in canto brings some sort of nostaligc comfort for me 😭 loved this video of what was such a "common" food at hone growing up!

[@schu-ng4897]

Yes, the Toisan Wah spoken at the end was the icing on the cake. Now I know what the 13th means!

[@terraprime]

Growing up in Hong Kong, different restaurants prepare this differently in terms of the meat. Some places prepare it like it's shown here, but plenty of other places will cook a pork shoulder in a salted brine with some seasoning (I am guessing similar to 卤水 but without the sugar and the soy sauce), then shred it after cooked. Sort of like pulled pork in American cuisine. Then they will add the already cooked and seasoned pork to the congee, together with the egg, heat up, then serve. Also, if you get the century egg (why was it ever translated to century egg when the words literally mean "leather egg"??), it's actually easier to cut with dental floss or thin kitchen twine because a good century egg will have a gooey, soft, yolk, making it messy and difficult to cut with knives.

[@dontask4990]

The most common translation mistakes from The Western world are due to incompetence, ignorance of cultural context and over-reliance on machine translation.

[@janejohnson7357]

So happy to see a KZbin channel sharing Cantonese dishes with an ABC translator 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@mamacheung]

I love eating this congee. Yummy! 我喜歡吃這款粥加油條當早餐。😊

[@MadeWithLau]

好多謝您嘅支持！老劉祝福您同家人平安健康！多謝🙏！

[@FarewelI]

Omg, I LOVE that you share traditional Chinese recipes in such a accessible and fun way. This brings back so many nostalgic memories. Your dad is a hero for sharing his take on these recipes!

[@lecepyt]

Totally agree 🤗🥰

[@greatwhitenorth3717]

One of my favourites and all those secrets..thank you.

[@TheYansc]

Just to let you know that your dad is a great cook. I always learning Cantonese food since my grandparents were originally from Guangdong, China. They came to Malaysia since 1920s. It's fascinating to learn it much more from your dad. I do recommended this channel to all my family and friends when ever they want to cook Cantonese food. I'm glad to come across your channel and I personally would like to address your dad as my Sifu too.

[@FlowingFlow]

Thank you for this channel for explaining everything in specific detail! I grew up with little understanding of certain ingredients that my parents and grandparents used for these recipes. This channel feels like an archive of history and nostalgic meals. Thanks to these videos, I feel like I can make these traditional dishes for future generations to come.

[@jan8919]

The preserved duck egg flavor maybe intense for some people,but i absolutely love it with jook it is so good !

[@kdash0213]

Never knew it tasted intense for some people, I just always thought it tasted good lol.

[@kaychua1262]

Century Egg is Best with Black or Red Vinegar.

[@sansajune8004]

Can someone describe the taste of century eggs pls

[@jan8919]

@@kaychua1262 I have never in my life had black or red vinegar,with thousand yr old preserved duck egg before…I will give it a try!

[@aquafishcspeia2921]

@@sansajune8004 That's a really difficult thing to do, maybe google will have some suggestions. Texture is easier to describe than taste, the texture of the egg white (black) part is jelly-like, the yolk texture is reminiscent of the eggs in ramen.

[@RhubarbAndCod]

Beautifully done Lau family! I can't think of anything more comforting than a lovely congee like this. Thank you so much!

[@angelialau51]

Awesome tips to making congee the short-cut way! I followed and made some other recipes with great success. Daddy Lau’s really an amazing teacher! Thanks to the whole team for creating Made With Lau! Looking forward to more recipes and tips!

[@doreenh3991]

Love your dad so much and he reminds me of my grandpa. I love that the videos are a blend of Cantonese and English!!!Growing up, my grandpa taught me so much about cooking and he also ran a Chinese restaurant. Thank you for bringing culture, joy and your family to so many!!!

[@EmpressCarm]

Omg I was actually going to request this because it’s my favourite!! I could have asked my mom but these videos are great when I forget how to make something. I’m so excited I’m going to make this tomorrow. Thank you for making these videos

[@mkh4234]

I luv everything about this series, genious!

[@dougchinn2820]

Thanks for the tips on making congee, 1) add a bit of oil to the rice for a silkier finish, and no crust on the bottom of the pot, 2) bring water to a boil before adding the rice, 3) don't over stir to avoid a crust, 4) whisk the congee after 30 minutes to cook faster. Love these little nuggets.

[@mailywong9612]

Thanks so much for the tip

[@andyl3707]

Just wanted to say, the whisking hack is a GAME CHANGER. The texture turned out great. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

[@onneeeh319]

Made this for my bf's family and they loved it so much! They said it tasted like the ones in the restaurants! Thank u so much💕

[@MrFaithsogood]

Love your video!! Thank you Daddy Lau for showing us how to make this congee, you are such a cheerful person. Respect!!

[@vickieterry888]

What a beautiful family!

[@dhyanmukta]

Made with prawns, fish paste boiled duck egg, garlic chives and chili sauce garnish.. amazing 🙏🏻

[@patrickchadd]

GREAT recipe! Perfect!!!

[@sharonlim9929]

Thank you, Daddy Lau for the congee hacks! I’ll be sure to let the water boil first before adding the rinsed marinated rice. And whisking to break up the rice grains is a genius move! Btw my mum’s version of peh tan chok uses shredded chicken, century egg and dried bean sheets (aka tofu skin) for added texture.

[@seanl.9998]

Damn, I gotta try the tofu skin for my next batch! Thanks for the idea!

[@09EmBeR90]

Papa Lau's way of teaching is by far the easiest way for me to learn and retain the information. I absolutely love congee but no one in my family makes. So after watching your chicken congee vid, I'm probably the first to do so. And my first try was great! Every step of the way I hear his "don't stir too much" and "put it in medium fire" and "let it be" 😆 Cooking is intuitive, and sometimes I have to add more water, or put less rice, etc. Which is what makes the "how's and why's" important. I'm gonna do my best to make even better congee. Thank you to your family 😋🤗

[@Lou.B]

I LOVE jok! THANK YOU for the lesson!

[@lawrenceting3487]

I just made the congee following Uncle Lau cooking methods..so yummy. Thank you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@YvonneWong17]

Love that your parents speak Toisan at the end!! ❤️❤️

Great recipe! I cook a rice porridge for my parents often so I'll try the special technique you shared. Hope to try this recipe with pork too 🙌

[@trashvortex]

lovely and delicious! I watch these both for comfort and for technique, and I’m curious: what’s Papa Lau’s ginger peeling technique? It always looks very smooth before it’s minced-is the skin rubbed off somehow? Peeling ginger is always a drag!

One of my favorites! I like to boil the cut egg pieces for 5-10 minutes so the flavor melts into congee, but that’s a personal preference. 😋

[@Myrtle2911]

I work as a home care nurse. One of the families I worked with was Vietnamese. Grandma (I even called her that) used to serve me breakfast right along with the family just about every morning. One of my favorite things she made (after her amazing chicken pho) was congee with century egg. I'd never had century egg before, or congee for that matter, and actually thought it was mushrooms until I noticed the yolk. It was so good! She used a lot of black pepper in hers. I can't remember, but I think the meat was chicken. I don't work with the family anymore, and I dearly miss Grandma's cooking.

[@nicolehyc]

My faveee congee! Need to try the whisk hack next time.

[@anitat5781]

omg i learned something new, never knew we can add oil to the rice to make it silker! congee is such a comfort food, (not just when you're sick)

[@kcheznyc]

Excellent work !

[@uschischroeder1708]

Found some pei dan last week in Germany and was sooo excited. Made the congee tonight and it turned out soo well, must say though, the lady in the shop was totally confused with a foreigner getting excited about the eggs. Thanks for the recipes, tried several already including the Char siu and am so happy to have found your site. This is a very happy Hong Kong (German) girl now

[@JanetM423]

I love your videos! So simple and easy to follow. Any plans to come out with a cookbook?

[@jadefeenix]

Jook is my comfort food. I make it when I’m feeling under the weather. In fact, I had ginger chicken jook yesterday. I used to be super self-conscious of eating Cantonese food growing up, but as I’ve grown older, I’ve learned to cast off other people’s yuck to embrace my yum.

[@pizzamizza2375]

I always love eating congee when I'm not feeling well or it's cold outside which is a majority of the time in canada. Congee is soothing and delicious

[@abbychen2470]

My favorite jook growing up. Ever since learning about the whisk trick from the chicken jook video, it’s my forever trick. Love how I can easily make a huge pot of jook in about 30 mins! I’m toisan too and the language brings back so many memories. Love it how I understand everything. I feel like I’m part of your family!

[@SueK2001]

Me too! Both my parents are gone now but it’s really sort of comforting to hear toisan. 🥰

[@michaelpham2221]

I absolutely love pork and egg congee. I cook this for my family whenever someone is sick. Alongside phở it is our comfort food. Seeing a master chef make it is a privilege, thank you. I will adopt chef Lau's techniques for my next pot of congee.

I loved the whisk trick, really made the texture divine! Another "trick" I've learned from reading a bunch of recipes about this is to wash the rice the day before, then put it in a plastic baggie and stick it in the freezer for a night! Makes the cooking process faster c:

[@lilianchan4111]

My lesson for this decade: use pliers for dried scallop. Why didn’t I think of that???? No more avoiding the use of dried scallops! THANK YOU DADDY LAU!!!
