What'd you think of Daddy Lau's recipe?
Thank you, I love bok choy it's my favorite.
Yes enjoying make more yummy meals fun to watch ya enjoying great food n family time 🤗
Thank you, Lau. I made this for my grandpa when he was very sick and dying of cancer. He could not eat very much, and especially not solid food. He rarely had an appetite to begin with, but he absolutely loved Asian soups his whole life, so I made this for him. It was light enough for him to eat even though he was feeling awful, and it soothed him just like the name. It brought me so much joy watching him slurp the soup after he had barely eaten anything for days. Your recipe brought him happiness in his final few weeks. Thank you so much. ❤️ I am back to this video again because I am now making this for myself. I'm reminded of him, so I wanted to express my gratitude through this comment.
Oh my gosh we are so sorry to hear about your grandpa. Our prayers go out to you and your family. He sounds like such an amazing person with many stories. It’s so touching to hear that our recipe was able to bring him some peace in his final days. Reading this made my parents cry! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It’s such an honor to be able to share with you ❤️❤️❤️

That made me so sad to read. My mother has cancer and I suspect I will have to go through this with her
@@skye.325 I'm sorry it made you sad. It is undoubtedly going to be hard. My advice as someone who has gone through it is to tell her everything you've wanted to tell her so you have no regrets. Tell her you love her every day and make her feel loved. Be by her side and take care of her as much as you can. Do little things to make her happy and comfortable. Looking back and remembering that I did things like make soup for my grandfather to show him love before he passed brings me a sense of peace, because I know that I brightened his final days. If she passes, just know that life will go on eventually, even though grief is painful. Your memories of her will keep you going and it will always get better. Best wishes for her health, I hope she gets better and you won't need my advice ❤️
@@Meidosama Thank you. I shall remember
For those who are not familiar with Cantonese home cooking, this soup might look “plain”, but plain/consommé soup with veggies and meat, is a must have on most daily family meals.
Yes we have soup like this everyday, not sweet and sour pork which is basically a restaurant food, at least to my family.
The soup is part of this traditional diet that “lure” you to keep hydrated, eat more veggies, moderate meat, less oil and less heavy condiments, which keep you thin and healthy lol.
I feel so connected when I saw this channel introducing this without-a-very-inviting-look but realistic dish!
I was shocked by how simple the dish is but this is exactly the kind of food I'm looking for to be healthier
It looks very inviting to me. I've been craving broths/light soups and want to switch up my diet as part of getting out of diabetes prevention, since I'm in the pre-diabetic range and need to avoid certain foods. When I quit smoking, pork bone broth was the only thing that would instantly settle my stomach.
😋😋😋😋😋
Simple, tasty, and healthy.
As a cantonese myself, i truly enjoy listening to your dad talking. He sounds like an amazing dad who is loved by many
He's so supportive. Whereas most Chinese parents are so judgmental and critical.
Sorry about the comment from Monkey JumpStarr. This is a friendly Asian father and family. I am Caucasian and my first job was working in a Chinese kitchen, yeah no kidding and I loved working with them. Sure I got called Quai Jai a lot but just let them vent for a while and they love you was my experience. There's no need for politics here and I am tired of this kind of behaviour these days. Mr Lau is an amzing and very kind Man and I would have loved working with him.
@@aaronberg1618 what does quai jai mean?
@@kingofthemawds9472 white boy
@@GeraldChu yeah, I second that. Although I understand the Cantonese, his tone and demeanor is almost alien to me: almost too loving?
These videos are genius first and foremost because what your father shares, his wisdom with food and process, is the hardest stuff to learn: how do you store greens? Why is the water this temperature, why do you massage that marinade in that way? He really has the thousand tiny tips and actions that create delicious food. It looks simple. There are so many things that one learns watching him that aren’t so obvious. Kudos to him and you.
Can't agree with you more. Daddy Lau is a genius and I'm his fan.
lol, it's just simple soup. You're too easily impressed.
@@clansymbiont8688 you don’t get it. It’s not the simplicity (which itself could be a lecture), it’s the wealth of know how in the whole series. It must be a rough life being a smug, dumb dolt going through life, missing half of what matters because you’re a mook.
@@wideeyedraven15 Sure I get it. I'm just not an amateur like you, which is why you're so easily impressed. You're like a slow child flabbergasted on learning how to store greens and boiling water for soup. Lol, right? Shaddup, kid.
@@clansymbiont8688 As a professional, you sound like someone who taught themselves to cook watching UA-cam videos and thinks that makes them better than others. In this field, we know cooking seems intimidating to a lot of people or things that seem simple to us is stuff others may not think of, and enjoy sharing the knowledge rather than being stuck up and pretentious. Maybe learn to keep your attitude in check, you're the one who comes off as a child.
Never thought of taking the outer leaves and cook it first then leave the rest in the fridge to maintain freshness. Absolutely love these expert advise. Way to go Daddy Lau. Thank you.
I basically do the same thing with celery. But never thought to do it with bok choy as well.
Yes, this is brilliant!
@@GeraldChu Fabulous!!!
Daddy Lau is an all rounder.
Same principle with cabbage or lettuce…
True comfort food here! When I was in junior high, washing and cooking bok choy was one of the first things my parents taught me to do as a chore in the kitchen, after washing the rice and turning the rice cooker on. I still remember my Dad teaching me how to rub each stalk to get the dirt off and how he taught me to use my finger to measure the water for the rice cooker. Thanks for showing us such a comforting bok choy recipe that is so simple to make! I will make this as soon as I get my hands on some more bok choy!
Ahhh what a great memory! Thanks for sharing this ❤️❤️❤️ Hope you’ve been doing well Courtney!!!
What is the finger trick for measuring the water for the rice cooker?
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for allowing your dad to do his instructions in Cantonese with English subtitles. My parents only spoke English around me growing up, to help me fit in better in Canada, but as a result, I don't know how to speak my mother tongue. I'm trying to learn more about my heritage, and your channel lets me practice both language and food. It means the world to me to have this stepping stone. Please keep up what you and your family do.
I understand, and I feel you. I'm Filipino and Chinese. I used to be bilingual as a child. I spoke both English and Tagalog, the language of the Philippines. But when I moved to America, my parents no longer enforced Tagalog to me. Tragically, I can no longer speak it, but I can understand it. Now that I'm an adult, I know I can relearn it. But unfortunately, I never knew my Chinese side of the family because they were never part of my life. Despite being Filipino and Chinese, I have always looked more Chinese to most people, so it disappoints them when they learn this. The funny thing about being Asian, however, is that we share a lot of our foods. We have our own take on dishes. It doesn't matter where you're from, more than likely, we eat from each other's cuisine. I was not taught by my relatives how to cook. They are not willing or are very good teachers I admit. But I have the initiative and I am ever so thankful the people as genuine as the Lau family share their teachings. Know you're not alone and we are all rooting for you! This cheered me up by the way, so thank you for sharing.
Just found your video, and just learned a ton of information. It is wonderful that you have kept your Dad working. Iti s hard for us old folks who have worked most of our lives to just come to a stop. It must be so inpowering for hime to keep makeing a much needed contribution in this world.
I love the way your dad gives cooking instructions. I also enjoy listening to him speak in Cantonese.
I have never been more proud to be Cantonese. I’m about to leave Hong Kong to study in England and I’ll be living there for at least six years. Will definitely be trying out these recipes❤️
Best of luck in your studies and good luck cooking a home-cooked meal.
sadly HK has become a shithole
Make sure you go back to live
Goodluck!!
Welcome to England! Hope your studies go well.
Your dad is a Gem! I love how he says the choy is so beautiful. That’s how my grandma used to talk when making food. Really touched my heart
Cooking the outer layer first and saving the inners for later is so simple but also genius!
I've been living away from my Cantonese parents for nearly 7 years now, and only eating my childhood meals when I visit once or twice a year. I can't thank you enough for this video. I used to have this all the time growing up, and I want to make this (and a lot of other recipes your dad has shown us) for my parents one day soon and pass it down to my kids.
My parents actually also own a Canto/Viet restaurant in a small city in Canada, but never had the time to teach me how to make food! I was a "restaurant kid" too! Both my mom and dad work long long hours and are too tired to teach these things growing up (and even now). Maybe when they decide to retire I will finally learn (and they can finally take some time for themselves).
I love your Dad, he is so patient and thorough explaining step by step, Thank you!
I personally want to thank you ! It’s been rough eating healthy recently but your recipes are so simple and quick, it has inspired me ! I added some shimeji mushrooms, made a pot of rice and dinner was done in an hour 💕
My dad passed away & he was a chef in a Chinese restaurant. He taught me some dishes & I served them to my family. Your dad’s voice reminds me of my dad when explaining how to cook. Thanks for sharing.
I would love to learn Chinese long simmered soups from Daddy Lau i.e. lotus root/pork, ching bo leung, watercress, seaweed soup...I miss them from my childhood.
YES!!
I love lotus roots and pork soup. I put a few dried sweet dates in it and it's soooo good.
Can use chicken instead of pork. Sorry for. comments. made by disrespectful persons.
@@tinaserrato7818 hard to imagine people trolling on the subject of soup! Great video showing soup and what a happy family circle looks like--it looks easy but requires knowledge and skill--very enjoyable!
I love your videos, they are so comforting and uplifting. I feel like your dad is my dad 😊🥰 He is a great teacher!!
Loss my father a few months ago, we are Cantonese and seeing your family sit together makes me miss him so much because we used to have Sunday dinners. he was no chef but seeing your parents teaching you the little wisdoms they have learned from experience is so great. I feel cheated that i can’t learn anymore from my dad but am so appreciate of your family for Filming and for sharing Cantonese cuisine and cooking. Keep up the great work ! 🙏🏻
We are so sorry to hear about your loss. I'm sure there must have been so many great memories with him. We're really grateful that we get to be here for you and to share our stories and knowledge with you. Our heart goes out to you and your family 🙏
I am literally eating your Dad's soup recipe right now, and it is fantastic. Super cheap and easy to make, and delicious. Thank you all for sharing!
I wish I was as efficient in the kitchen as Daddy Lau. I absolutely love watching him work his magic!!!
This channel has absolutely captured me. I’m not one to make a lot of Chinese food myself but seeing your dad and your family just brings me some great vibes-now I’m planning out which recipes to make for my family! Love love love it, can’t believe it’s such a young channel, the quality is impeccable.
Ahhh thank you so much for the kind words and the love!! So glad you found us ❤️❤️
Randy, your Dad's the best teacher! I always learn so much after watching any of your videos - thanks for making your well-done videos!
I appreciate your sharing your dads knowledge and wisdom in the kitchen.
Beautiful family!
This is the best thing I've ever ate. The bok choy is how I dream vegetables should taste. The pork was the most tender I've had. My husband and I are trained in acupuncture and know that winter is time for soups, but our kids don't like them much. I decided to make some just for us and this was wonderful. You can taste your years of wisdom in cooking. I feel nourished and fulfilled, so does my husband. So simple and easy for a late night meal.
Looking forward to trying this soup, looks so simple and delish!
Also Randy, please can we bring back Meal Time with the Laus. Absolutely miss it 😊
I love this channel, family times, cooking recipes, and simple stuffs.
This is awesome....so glad I found this wonderful family to learn from!
Fifty years ago, I always ordered this soup when my family went to our local Chinese restaurant (we lived near the what is now China town in Mississauga, Ontario). My siblings went for the sweet & sour stuff, but I loved this soup with its simple & flavorful ingredients. I have never seen it on a menu since then. So thank you for the recipe.
I love to cook. I've been trying little by little to cook my favorite Chinese dishes over the years, but this is finally the first time I feel like I've found the right teacher. Everything I've made of your Dad's has been wonderful. My next door neighbor who is Chinese-American has said my beef broccoli is just like his mom used to make. I'm making bok choy soup again tonight. My wife and I both love it. I envy you growing up with that mom and dad of yours. Beautiful people.
Thank you for these recipes, including the tips on how to store them. I love these videos so much & I can't wait to try them out myself
Loved the smile on your dads face when you tasted his soup and said MMmmmm! great simple preparation. Looks delicious and will try. Thanks
I’m growing bok choy in my garden, can’t wait to harvest and make this!
Made this soup today. Oh man this was sooo damn good, even my boys liked it. Thank you for posting this video and thank your sweet father for cooking it.
H join
One of my fav cooking channels! Every steps is so clear and precise 👍
Wonderful and thank you for translating everything.
Can’t wait to try this soup out. Miss your family talk over your meal. Keep up the good work!
Thank you to the whole family for your recipes🙏. The soup turned out amazing, already made it two times 😍
such simple recipe, yet the little details are what makes it great, thanks for the tips!!
Awe...i luv asian cooking...my first job was at 13 yrs old washing dishes in a restaurant for a beautiful chinese family who treated me like a son...the most beautiful time of my life...
YESSSS Please do more Cantonese soups! This is what I have been waiting for. Thank you, can't wait to make this soup this weekend. Thank you
Excellent! I Love this dish and haven't had it in a long time!! The video was like a class and I can see a lot of things that I could use to improve my cooking. Really nice!! Thank you!
I made the soup and it’s delicious! Love Mr Lau’s step by step instructions and techniques. Thank you
Thank you Daddy Lau and Randy. I love soup so much. And bok choy is such a great veg. Easy, simple, soothing recipe.
I’m going to make this today! I just so happen to have bought some bok choy for the week! 😋 can’t wait! I’m going to try your dad’s tips on cooking the outer leaves first too! 🙂
Beautiful, thoughtful, easy to understand video. You have a great, knowledgeable dad, smart mom, a wonderful family! I love your video editing. It’s very professional! All the best to you and your family!👏😋❤️
This is GOLD! Thank you for sharing your father's recipes
Loved all the extra info on storing to washing to cooking! A lot of clever ideas! Can't wait to make this, thank you for sharing!
missed the family dinner after the cooking i prefer after!
Made this earlier and husband was very impressed. 🥰 Thanks chef!!! ❤️
Absolutely delicious and comforting to the soul! Ever since I've come across this recipe I've made it many times and my husband and I both love it! we actually just had it for dinner today as well. We are both cantonese and love all the wonderful recipes on this channel and love hearing your dad speak in canto as well!!
Simple yet delicious! I added ginger slices to mine as well, and it really makes a big difference...thank you for sharing 👍🏼👏🏼
This looks delicious - gotta give it a try. Love some good Bok Choy soup!
Hello, Lau,
I just made this soup now with chicken (I don't eat pork) and it is the best soup I've ever had. I gave some to my neighbour as well and we both enjoyed it a lot. Thank you so much to Papa Lau and family for sharing this ❤️
So happy I found your channel! Thank you for sharing your family’s traditions. 😊🙏
Watching Mr. Lau cook is so heart comforting
Love Bok Choy, one of the few vegetables I eat.
This is going to be great.
Greetings from Ushuaia, Argentina.
THANK YOU!! made it tonight and only 1 serving left. it is just good simple comfort food , it truly lets u appreciate the goodness of bok choy. i'll make this next time someone needs chicken noodle soup - : )
Thank you very much for these videos so that your parents’ knowledge is preserved and can be shared.
I love how they explain everything in detail 👍🏼. Love Chinese food 🍱
Your Dad is a genius to eat the outter leaves first! OMG that's so smart! I always feel like I need to buy them the day I get it.
Looking forward to the stir-fried bok choy video!
Awww thanks Lisa!!!
same :)
Besides learning from the best, I enjoy watching baby Cam grow at each video. I’m glad you include him at meal time.
Lisa ❤️
Yes nguyen
I love this. It looks fresh and healthy but so good. Thank you. 🦋
Tastes amazing. Easy to follow recipe. Fabulous chef!!!!! Wonderful meal.
Love!!! More soup videos please?!!!
Looking at the ingredients list I wondered how far beyond some watery chicken stock and some pork strips this could actually taste. Surprised when I made it how absolutely delicious it is.
Thank you for sharing your Dads wonderful recipe with us. 🙏🏽
I love watching your dad cook and I have been cooking using his style… thank you.
Thank you for sharing your recipes! Makes living away from family much easier :)
Took a chance and made this tonight. And even though I had had the bok Choi in the fridge for three days I was amazed at the result. Thank you for this recipe and thank you for your very interesting channel. David👍👍🇨🇦
Oh man, I can hardly watch without drooling! I always grow bok choy 🥬 in the garden and now I can make this fabulous soup! Thank you!
One of the most well-made cooking channels for Chinese cuisine. Love watching the banter around the dinner table (well, not in this particular video).
New subscriber here. Love love bokchoy so definitely making this soup. And thank you for your parents for showing us great tips how to store them correctly 😊 now Off to the grocery store to get some more bokchoy 😉
What a great recipe. Thankful for his expertise and his willingness to share his recipes.
Thank you so much for these videos! I find them so comforting to watch :)
Looks great!😍Can daddy Lau teach some slow-cooked soup? I think that's a pretty central part of Cantonese cuisine
This bout to become a staple in my house 🔥. So clean!
This is literally the best cooking videos on UA-cam and I’ve seen many. From presentation, to your dads detailed explanation, to the yummy food. Can’t wait to try this out myself for my Mexican family 🇲🇽
Everyone of the videos that I have watched has been excellent. I like to see authentic everyday home cooked recipes they are the best.
Love listening to your dad. As I am Cantonese.
this is we called "clean soup" it means simple ingredient took a short time to be done. then we have a "old flame soup" that could took up to 4-5 hours and usually the the ingredeint is way more complex. for me i love both, sometime my mom have no time foe the old flame one then she go for the clean soup. its still very healthy soup.
So glad I found this! We have lots of bok choy planted in our fall garden!
We love eating bok choy. I appreciate your dad’s tips. All these recipes are what we ate at home growing up.
I cannot wait for the cookbook that is going to come out of this. Right?😉
This is my second favorite soup. I am hoping chef Lau will soon make my all time favorite ... seaweed soup.
So excited to try this, absolutely love this channel and your dad!
I love your simple recipe. Keep it coming. Great!!
I love how she says, I don’t even need the spoon, just drink it straight. At home, that’s how we drink soup.
Same here. I guess it’s traditional Chinese way to yum tong straight from bowl.
Great version of what Chris from CCD called “wok soup”.
I love bok choy. Thank you for sharing this with us. I learned so much!
cooking tips from a real chef! We are very fortunate! Thank you
Could you move the camera closer to the meat when it explained about how to cut the meat horizontally/vertically/diagonally against the direction of the grain ‘cause it’s a bit to understand without seeing the grains closely. Thanks
The good thing is a random cut will most likely be across the grain albeit likely diagonally, there would be only one, well two ways you would wind up going along the grain. If I was uncertain, I would quarter the meat in a cross then look at the cut ends of the meat to see which cuts more fibers in case one of the cuts is unfortunately along the grain.
Really enjoyed this thanks for sharing!
I love the prep and storage advice. Thanks!
Making this tonight for the parents. A perfect bowl of comfort for this autumnal chill. 감사 해요 Daddy Lau + family!
Beautiful family! Love your dad and mom!!
I'd love to see Daddy Lau approach any 羹, simple but extremely satisfying.
Learning a lot! Thank you for sharing.
Please tell your dad that I appreciate his time sharing his knowledge and wisdom. We grew bok choy for the first time this season, and his knowable and insight was instrumental in our decision to do so. Thanks from southern North America
