Thank you so much. As I grew up, the Cantonese restaurant near my school was my absolute favourite. The stir-fried shrimp and eggs was my favourite dish there. I’ve tried many times to do it on my own, but the taste was not the same. I will definitely try your receipe and it is really nice that you always explain the smallest details. Big thank to all you guys.

[@Phaerion]

One day when I was eleven or twelve years old and my parents were away from home, I made Egg Flower Soup from memory after I caught a glimpse of the recipe on television. I already knew how to make Nasi Goreng and Egg Fu Yong but my parents were still quite impressed with the result. :)

[@lytriciamitchell6763]

damn, the egg with shrimp has a meticolous cooking process which can inspire you to cook. I love this channel.

[@Joekool88]

Kai Lan (jèi lán in mandarin) is one of my favourite. The same method can be used to cook chye sim (chài xīn)

[@kitchenflavors7013]

Thank you for your recipes. Os it possible for your Dad to demonstrate birthday noodles, the one with peanuts

[@abdullazizalia7776]

Nice Cooking

[@eng5112]

All that looks so good. I’m trying to look for the best minced beef with egg over rice. No one seems to make it right.

[@mamacheung]

謝謝你的食譜。兩餸一湯！😊

[@MadeWithLau]

好多謝您嘅支持！老劉㊗️您平安快樂！收視爆漲！

[@bermei5187]

I loooove gai lan. Would definitely consider it one of my favorite chinese dishes even though it's just a boiled veggie.

[@christinebailey9935]

It is always such a pleasure to be invited into your home and watch your dad make such good food. Then to share with the family is great! And guess what? I learned to make really good fried rice and egg foo young. My potstickers need some work. Your dad taught me to make my favorite Chinese dishes. Thank you Lau! You and the family are the BEST!

[@Diana-mc2vi]

How do I get rid of the fishiness in seafood? Besides that, I love your videos! The recipes always turn out so yummy

[@fishablish]

I never skip ads when I watch your vids. Love your family.

[@NoName-gp6dk]

Nice to know I’m not the only one with a Cantonese Grandpa/ dad who’s in their 70s and was a chef as well. Similar stories to for leaving China (or in my case Hong Kong).

[@Shaden0040]

If unable to use corn and wheat starch/vlour can rice or potato starch/flour be substituted? Or is there something else besides arrowroot?

[@misslove1083]

Other than kailan, what other veg we can use for the recipe?

[@withlovesofia.2645]

What can I use instead of oyster sauce I’m allergic to shellfish and I love ur recipes I’m trying to be more healthy

[@harvestmoon_autumnsky]

Will def make that shrimp and eggs! I learned the cornstarch trick from your dads other videos. I think it's pretty amazing that his cooking legacy lives on in thousands of households of your viewers who didn't grow up with this delicious food.

Love this video! So easy, healthy and simple recipes, that is what we like/need in this fast-paced life! And at the same time I can improve my Cantonese haha. Please do more of such video! Lots of love from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@taxdragon]

That's almost exactly how I make the "French omelette" that my Danish mother taught me to make. Frying pan on high, melt in a good amount of butter, eggs in, drag the cooked part, flip the cooked part, repeat until the eggs are cooked to your liking.k

[@Soten_Bori]

Classics that I grew up with! My favorite is egg flower soup, but all of these have a special place in my heart.

What type of oil is it to fry?

great video! all of these dishes together make a healthy, simple meal 💚

[@iggytse]

The direct translation of Egg and Shrimp dish from Cantonese sounds like Wet Egg Shrimp Person.

[@del906]

Everyone has their preferences, but tbh, Cantonese scrambled eggs are the most valid. No vomit texture.

[@PWCDN]

that shrimp and egg dish is my dad's favourite. He doesn't cook but that was the one dish he perfected and makes better than my mom. Still to his day, nobody cooks it better than my dad. It's truly a tasty dish when its moist with plump juicy shrimps.

[@MadeWithLau]

Yesss this is one of my favorites too!

[@K3L1evt]

My husband loves the shrimp & eggs dish...thanks Uncle! 🙏💯

[@TizonaAmanthia]

how does the egg flower differ from egg drop? they seem very similar

[@lisacastano1064]

Just different names it's the same soup

[@TizonaAmanthia]

@@lisacastano1064 that's what I was thinking, I do love me some egg-drop soup, though. It's actually good if you add in some scrambled eggs as well!

劉師傅週末愉快，唔知可唔可以比個妹仔問吓，個妹仔整左好多次都失敗，所以想請教劉師傅點可以炸薯條出哩好似出面餐館咁，乾身脆呢？個妹仔次次炸，唔知點解會出哩軟曬，又多油呢！

[@MadeWithLau]

小妹妹好，炸薯條前要做好凖備工作，切條要均勻，切好後用清水浸泡兩分鐘洗去澱粉，煲滾水放入一湯鹽煲兩分鐘約八成熟，放入凉水中再撈起瀝乾水分，用玉米粉拌勻，把油煮到160度C，放入薯條炸至轉黃，撈起，把油加熱，再把薯條放入炸30鈔至一分鐘撈起用廚房紙巾吸收油，灑上蒜鹽，食得！小妹妹試吓。非常感謝您的支持！㊗️您成功！

[@kathyt1419]

@@MadeWithLau 謝過劉師傅，個妹仔會跟住劉師傅個🈯️點再試😀

[@MadeWithLau]

記得唔好切咁細條，像鉛筆一樣或比鉛筆粗b都冇所謂。

[@kathyt1419]

@@MadeWithLau 哈哈 嘩劉師傅你好犀利啊，個妹仔就係次次都切細細條😂😂因為個妹仔鍾意d 嘢細細，所以切細靚d😂遵命劉師傅，個妹仔會記得今次切好似劉師傅你講咁，再謝過劉師傅

My dad would always make a stupid pun asking if you wanted the egg and shrimp dish. He'd say, "so you want to bully people, huh?" since "ha yun" means exactly that. Probably the first time I ever heard/understood a Chinese dad joke.

Is it customary to inherit cleavers in Chinese family tradition. ? Every one I see seems like it's 100 years old. 🤔

[@kendrickjibson222]

This is an amazing video and I enjoyed every bit of it and am also excited to share my investment experience so far this year, I believe it will help a lot of people here that are confused on how to start the year and be productive for the year.

[@kendrickjibson222]

From my own point of view, you need to invest smartly, if you need the good things of life. so far i've made over $355k in raw profits from just q4 of the market from my diversified portfolio strategy and i believe anyone can do it you have the right strategy. mutual funds takes long time but investing smartly is the key for short term. Most of us tend to pay more attention to the shiniest position in the market to the cost of proper diversification.

[@sophiablakes]

@@kendrickjibson222 Wow!! this is super awesome. I'm willing to start saving properly or at least have a good investment. please tell me more about it. I'm an amateur investor, i have 2 IRAs, I do not like the cookie cutter responses from. Fidelity, Vanguard Schwab, etc 7%-9% year on average, how do you invest?

[@kendrickjibson222]

My portfolio is very much diversified so it's not like i have a particular fund i invest in, plus i don't do that by myself. i follow the trades of Karen Gaye Gray. She is a popular broker you might have heard of. I can correctly say she's worth her salt as a financial adviser as her diversification skills are top notch, I say because i see that in her results as my portfolio grows by averages of 10 to 15% on a monthly basis. unlike i can say for my IRA which has just been trudging along, my portfolio just mirrors what she trades and not just on some particular industries of my choosing.

[@sophiablakes]

@@kendrickjibson222 By following trades do you mean copying her trades, as is done in etoro? Are you giving her your money or the money stays in your account? I have heard about copying trades but have not looked into it but i have an idea of what it is.

[@kendrickjibson222]

Yeah exactly. My money stays right in my account. It's all programmatic, plus it's relatively much easier to set up and connect my accounts than creating a financial pan and drafting investment strategies myself, my account just mirrors her trades in realtime
