Les here from Melbourne Australia. Never been to China (my dream), but I'm old and retired now and have time to perfect one type of cooking - I chose Chinese food. I only watch your videos - nothing else - and have learnt so much and have impressed my family and friends. I not only thank you for these wonderful videos in cooking skills, I also thank you for giving me something to hang on to life for. Bless you.

@SheepdogsHeart 3 ай бұрын

Made this for dinner tonight and the flavor was fantastic! The only thing I will do differently next time is to leave the sauce on the side as a dipping sauce to preserve as much of the crunch as possible. Thanks for a tasty technique!

@matthewlong2990 10 ай бұрын

Made this with fish (Tilapia) and it came out amazing. I do agree though to get the chinese restraunt taste you need to use concentrate lemon juice (thought I don't know how much) Great food and will be making again. The marinade is something I never thought of and I bet takes this dish from good to great.

HOORAY 🎉🎉 . In all honesty, your father (and your channel) has changed the way I cook for the rest of my life. It started with the Chili Oil, which I had never known existed. That led to the Beef Ho Fun and Ginger Noodles. This diet is so much better than the standard bread and cheese heavy American diet. I feel great and my health has been improving. I went from not even having a Wok in my home to using it 4+ times a week. This is all due to you and your father. I will donate once my life has stabilized. In the meantime, blessings on your channel, your father and yourself. May you continue to grow 🪴.

To make that sauce even better, you should get some clean lemon rind and make some micro Julianne strips and add with a little custard powder

Great recipe Thx for it , I love lemon anything , question , why doesn't your Dad use some of the lemon peel in his sauce ? it's fairly common in other lemon sauces and dish's to get more flavour out of your lemon .

請問生粉是否corn starch? 上次跟着煮豬扒用了麵粉效果不錯，這裏很難買找生粉，我明天到三藩市找找看，謝謝Chef Lau 分享這個美食😊

@MadeWithLau 11 ай бұрын

不要客氣，用Corn STARCH就可以了。非常感謝您的支持！老劉祝福您和家人健康快樂！

@HarlanYeung 10 ай бұрын

應該為potato starch 馬玲薯澱粉, 香港這邊的茶餐廳和酒樓幾乎都指定使用荷蘭風車牌。當然用corn starch都能夠有類似效果,如果都找不到, 就用其他澱粉代替,在完全找不到的情況下甚至用麵粉也能夠勉強取代,但麵粉煮出來會相對混濁, 因為主要是利用澱粉質加水加熱後的糊化效果。

Not sure he mentions it but the reason he adds water to flour gradually instead of the same amount every time is because the humidity of the room will effect how much moisture the flour will absorb

Just want to say the batter is extremely important in this recipe as I made the mistake of making it slightly runnier than Uncle Lau which made the pieces go soft when mixed with the lemon sauce which I’m guessing is due to the high acidity breaking up the batter coating

I'm surprised the glass bowl didn't cracked when the hot oil was poured into it. When I pour hot (not boiling) water into a fairly thick glass pitcher, the bottom fell out.

It depends on whether it's tempered glass which is just glass made to withstand heat.
