I made this for the first time yesterday, it turned out just like my Mum use to make for us countless times. My Mum has passed a lot of her cooking skills to me, but now your family and Daddy Lau has given me the confidence to recreate my Mum's classis Canto dishes. I felt really emotional making these dishes as my Mum passed away last year, I can feel her smiling with approval from above. 😌 Thank you Lau family, you are awesome.

[dlisner]

So many of your dad's dishes remind me of my childhood where my dad cooked for us too. It's awesome you are preserving your dad's recipes and discussions in these videos and he's a PRO too. I love how it's not just a straight up recipe at the end but you've weaved in memories that Cam will love to see when he's old enough to appreciate them. Thank you for doing this.

[ricklua]

Thanks for sharing your family’s recipe. I watched a lot of your videos and mimic them also. Had fantastic results because of your guides and things to consider or watch out for. Kudos!

[CCMRPM]

I love watching these videos- I'm second generation ABC, but my family has been here since the gold rush days... thank you!

[vitusleung]

This dish brings back childhood memories growing up in Asia. Thank you for sharing

[heeketken]

Hello Sifu Mr Lau, remember me? I was a small kid last time, i was the naughty boy, ah tong son..

[jinvonastrea]

The fact that im learning all of this for free, wow thanks

[DocPetron]

I like watching your videos. My late father was pretty much like your dad. He was from Toisan and became an established banquet chef in Hong Kong. He said that when we moved to the US, the cooking in restaurants is so different, like your dad said you have to make multiple small dishes. I'm learning from your dad because my dad kept us out of the kitchen because he didn't want us to go to the restaurant business but get educated instead. By the time I established myself, I moved to another state so I never learned any of his cooking skills. Watching your dad is sort of like watching what my dad would have taught me since they both have similar backgrounds. It helps that I understand Cantonese and Toisanese and their stories about their home village was similar.

Uncle is typical Cantonese cook. Just want to tell how much I admire his cooking.

[luplew]

Your dad is a terrific old school chef. Love that your dad is speaking Cantonese and great job with the English subtitles. These are among the best Cantonese cooking videos on You tube.

Being an adoptee from China and growing up in America with severely limited access / exposure to Chinese culture. I so deeply appreciate these videos. I’m learning to cook authentic dishes from my culture and also learning about the culture and where I come from. I love you and your dad and the whole family dynamic. Thank you for the content. Much love ❤️❤️

[nocommentyo]

I just wanna say I’m so grateful for what you’re doing! The cantonese in me finally feel there’s a guide somewhere for me if touchwood one day my mum is not around... holla from Malaysia btw

[ghotiemama]

my mom would cook this with dried shrimp and put in the rice cooker in a small metal dish on a trivet. The rice and the eggs would be done at the same time.

i am honest, i watched MXr and got hungry.
Great recipe, thank you. :-)
