I know this comment sounds stupidly simple but I think it's important - *please* can you do a family video on using chopsticks 🙈 despite practice many of us still struggle and as you guys are amazing content creators I think you could do a nice video on this.
Im new fan of this channel, iv wanted to learn to cook Chinese food for a while now. Great videos. I am wondering if you would like to have a look at Dr Sten Ekberg's video on UA-cam about cooking oils?
Please 🙏 tell your father thank you for sharing all of his wonderful recipes and cooking techniques. He's amazing. He's the best chef/cook that I've ever seen on UA-cam.
i been making chinese food for awhile and this man has answered every little error i had been questioning for years. explained why the breading falls off, why the 2nd fry, loved it. can tell he been cooking it for years, cooked so natural
We made this with Gardein plant-based chick'n strips, skipped the marinade step - and it worked out great! Will try this technique with cauliflower soon. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I found the written recipe a little harder to follow, my updated recipe if it helps anyone else, note this is adapted for the plant-based chicken and we own an actual deep fryer: Set the veg chick'n out to defrost or wash and cut the cauliflower into florets. Preheat the deep fryer to 325. Prep the red bell pepper, Serrano, garlic, and dried chiles and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt. Mix to thoroughly combine. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time and stir until no lumps remain. You may need more water to achieve the consistency shown in the video. Once adding the half egg and the oil, it should be slightly runnier than pancake batter. In a small bowl, combine all of the sauce ingredients, then taste the sauce and adjust to your preference. Make a slurry of corn starch and water, set aside. Time to fry twice, and in two batches. Coat the chick'n or cauliflower with your batter. Starting with the first half, drop one piece at a time into the 325 fryer, finding a spot for each piece so they don't stick together. Let them sit for about 90 seconds before stirring around, so the batter doesn't fall off. Total frying time is around 2.5 minutes. Remove and let drain. Repeat for the second batch. When all has been fried once, set the deep fryer to 375. Fry everything one more time until a beautiful golden brown for just shy of 1 minutes. You should be able to do all of it in one batch now. Meanwhile, prep the sesame seeds and the sauce on the stove. Heat up a large sauté pan over medium-low heat. Pour in the white sesame seeds and lower the heat. Stir around constantly using a spatula . After 30 seconds, turn off the heat and stir for another 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate or bowl and set aside. Return the sauté pan to the stovetop and heat on medium-high. Add a small bit of oil, heat, then add the garlic and dried chiles for a minute until aromatic. Add in the sauce and stir immediately, have a taste and adjust. Lower the heat and add in your corn starch slurry a little bit at a time while stirring. Then add toasted sesame oil to taste. Finally, add the chick'n or cauliflower and fresh peppers to the sauce and mix quickly and serve. You can also serve the sauce on the side.
I am so excited for this, my husband has been asking for sesame chicken for years and I haven't found a good enough recipe. We already adore you're dad's sweet and sour chicken, so I'm literally thrilled you made this video. ♥
I made this tonight. It was very good. The chicken marinade was a little too salty for me. Maybe 1/2 tsp salt there instead. Also, check your website. The batter says 6.5 tsp water. Should be Tbsp. Great video! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for these videos. After losing my mom and my grandma this year, listening to these videos brings me back. My grandma cooked a lot of these dishes and listening to the Cantonese just feels like.. home.
made this tonight and really enjoyed it, th8ink i needed to let my oil warm up between batches to get extra crispy, but the flavours were great!!! thanks so much, love the videos!!
Thanks for the recipe! I fried my chicken with equal part cornstarch and flour in tallow….so crispy and delicious even when reheated the next day. Also so much healthier than seed oils.
AS A CHILD GROWING UP IN A EURASIAN HOME, WE LOVED EVERYTHING OUR PARENTS COOKED. WE'D NEVER THINK OF TURNING UP OUR NOISES TO "ANY" VEGETABLES AS THE CHINESE WAY OF STIRFRYING THEM IS HEAVEN.
It was hard to find some ingredients but in the end I made it. I followed the instructions to the letter and cooked this dish for me and my gf and it was amazing 😋 Thank you very much!
I made this today. It came out delicious. Two notes: adding chunks of welsh onion to the sauce makes it even nicer and -- if you've got too much batter, as I had, because, well, measuring is hard, adding a little sugar to the leftover and then frying it in the hot oil between first and second fry will make for a delicious sweets course.
Best Sesame Chicken I have ever had and I cannot believe I made it myself! (I did use well trimmed boneless/skinless thighs instead of breasts) Thanks for the awesome recipe!
Спасибо за этот рецепт! Выглядит очень вкусно! Обязательно попробую, уверена, вам понравится!👍👍Thanks for this recipe! Looks very tasty! I'll definitely try it, I'm sure you'll like it!👍👍
In Asian culture it’s so culturally accepted that your parents will tell you you’re too skinny if you don’t eat enough (and it’s disrespectful if you reject their food) but also call you fat when they feed you too much. How many times has your parents called you fat and how do you deal with it?
Made this with the red bean pork belly yesterday along with air fryer fries (I'm weird). Wife had rice. Halved both recipes. This one was very good but too sweet for me. The chicken was very juicy at +165 F. I regret not cooking longer for more crunch though, but it didn't make that much of a difference anyway. I would however suggest to first add a third of the sugar and taste. Add more and adjust. I used probably half of the sugar and it was still too sweet. I used costco jarred fire cooked green and red bell peppers that have a little sugar. Those bell peppers are bomb if you see them (new item and huge portions jammed into the jars). I also used a jalapeno, some thai dried red chilis and home pressed garlic. I will definitely make tweak this recipe to perfection.
When you say light soy sauce, i have low salt soy, regular soy and dark soy… is there a fourth light? Tried this tonight first time. Flavor if the sauce seemed very strong and concentrated. Maybe for my taste I need more water and maybe if there is a light soy that is not just low salt… will check. Live where there is no good NYC style Chinese that I have grown up on and used to. Got a few things down, really want to stick this, smelled so right in the pan… LOVE YOU GUYS!! Thanks❤❤
@@MadeWithLau Nice! Keep up the good work too! I appreciate how you guys are showing off Cantonese cooking and food, but also capturing culture and language for future generations. As an HK-born Australian, now living in Seattle, I can see the spread of the Cantonese diaspora, but also its dilution in many places around the world. I find your work very encouraging and important to sharing my own background and culture🥳 (e.g. the shopping with parents at Costco/99 Ranch was just like shopping with my own parents lol)
I have a question for your dad! I want to buy a new wok that has a thicker wall and is made out of karbonsteel. I looked at two woks and the size and the thickness is the same, but the difference is in the steel. One is karbonsteel and the more expensive is cast iron. What would your dad recomend.

I love how you talk about why each ingredient is necessary for the flavor. Most channels don't do that. THANK YOU!!!
I truly enjoy watching a master performing his craft. Appreciate your channel.
Lau’s sense of calm and cool is undeniable. I really enjoy these!
Every single recipe looks so delicious and amazing when your dad is finished cooking. I want to try every recipe your dad cooks.
In each crunchy chicken cube is labour of ❤love.

I love watching these videos because the cantonese feels right at home. Thanks for the recipe!
Made this, but with frozen stirfry mix. Very good! I didn't fry it enough to get the best crunch... can't wait to do it again! Thanks guys!
After mastering fried rice this seems like a worthy next target. Amazing channel!
Fried ice is much harder to get right than this recipe 😓.
@@Selurion I am agree. Fried ice is the one recipe that I can never get right. It always ends up very watery, no matter what I do. ☹️
These recipes and techniques are fantastic! Thanks to you and your Dad!
You are an excellent chef! God bless ♥️
I made this recipe for Sunday dinner and it was sooo good. Wonderful recipe for sesame chicken.

Ultimate Fry Daddy Lau! ❤
Thanks great Chef and family 👍
Love Mummy and Daddy Lau. Vivienne from Australia
Is there a difference between using potato starch for the slurry vs corn starch? Can they be used interchangeably for the slurry?
I made this today. It came out delicious. Two notes: adding chunks of welsh onion to the sauce makes it even nicer and -- if you've got too much batter, as I had, because, well, measuring is hard, adding a little sugar to the leftover and then frying it in the hot oil between first and second fry will make for a delicious sweets course.
Good idea! Thanks 🤙🏽
I can’t wait to try this.
Love this family ❤❤❤❤❤
Really enjoy these videos
Love the channel!
Looks fabulous! I wish I spoke the same language as your dad. And I sure hope my chicken comes out like his!
Where did you buy your wok? I like it. Also do you have a video of your dad showing us how to season a wok? Thank you and love watching your dad cook.
Doing this right now looks so YUMMMMMM 🍜🍛
Awesome! So good!
Can you also make a video on how to make Mei Cai Kou Rou please? Thank you!
Omg , just finished this dish so good x
fantastic as ever . cheers
I really want to try this recipe, but I am thinking that batter mix would be great on fish for English style fish and chips!!! I will have to try it 😃
Nice job with the steaming timelapse.
Your dad is amazing 🤗
Thank u so much. I tried it and it taste great. 👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩👍👍👍
Made this recently and it was FEE-NAH-MUH-NULL! Thank you and your dad for sharing!
Best Sesame Chicken I have ever had and I cannot believe I made it myself! (I did use well trimmed boneless/skinless thighs instead of breasts) Thanks for the awesome recipe!

That looks so delicious.
Your dad is inspiring....
Love sesame chicken.
Thankyou for your recipe
I'm salivating😀
Absolutely amazing 👏🏻

5:01 thats the best answer from a Chinese father 🤣
感谢这个食谱！看起来很好吃！我一定会尝试一下，我相信你会喜欢的！👍👍
不要客氣，感恩有您的支持！老劉祝福您闔家平安健康快樂！
How deep should the oil on the wok be for frying the chicken?
Спасибо за этот рецепт! Выглядит очень вкусно! Обязательно попробую, уверена, вам понравится!👍👍Thanks for this recipe! Looks very tasty! I'll definitely try it, I'm sure you'll like it!👍👍

Can you do some videos on cha chaan tang type of food. sandwiches, baked rice/pasta?

老刘的粉糊用的基本是中餐脆皮糊的比例，只是中国现在一般只取蛋清，加蛋黄后遇汁水容易回软
This is one of my favorites, so happy to learn how to make it.
i added 2 tbsp ketchup 1 tbsp honey 1 tsp sesame paste and it was perfect

I also used a jalapeno, some thai dried red chilis and home pressed garlic. I will definitely make tweak this recipe to perfection.
Now if he would come to my house and make it. That would be great 👍 👌
What is the BTU strength of your butane burner?
When you say light soy sauce, i have low salt soy, regular soy and dark soy… is there a fourth light?
Tried this tonight first time.
Flavor if the sauce seemed very strong and concentrated. Maybe for my taste I need more water and maybe if there is a light soy that is not just low salt… will check.

LOVE YOU GUYS!! Thanks❤❤
What material is the wok made of?
Can I use rice flour instead of all purpose
Thank you, Sir. This isn't not our local restaurant quality. I grow my own garlic, chilis, peppers. We have local source chicken. I will try.
What stove do you use?
Good recipe
老刘，身体健康！
非常感謝您的支持和祝福！老劉衷心祝福您闔家健康快樂！
Your just like my family how they'll go yaaaaaay!! Ha!! I've got actual Chinese cousins

苏打粉和泡打粉特别是用量有区别，泡打粉除了含有碳酸氢钠（小苏打）还有其他成分，网上一般认为如果用的是泡打粉，分量是小苏打2-3倍
非常感謝您的支持和分享！老劉祝福您闔家安康快樂！
Could you have your Dad do some air fryer recipes? I think it would be kino.

I don't eat chicken. Can I use firm tofu in its place?
Can I come over for dinner???

Wow i can see him to my father
