    Just made this as a novice cook and it turned out beautifully. I did make some changes:
    -I added some crushed chili powder, red pepper flakes, and a little bit of paprika in the sauce, for just a bit of spice.
    - I also didn't have oyster sauce, so I made do with a little more soy sauce
    -Didn't have any wine, but I did have rice wine vinegar. I substituted that for the cooking wine and added a bit more sugar to compensate the extra bitterness.
    Even with those changes it was great!
    Great video!

    I didn't have any fresh ginger or garlic so I used ginger paste and garlic puree - still came out amazing.
    I found it odd that it tasted so citrus-y considering there is no citrus in the recipe - it was subtle. It added to the flavour without overpowering it.

    I stumbled across this video. It was wonderful to watch your dad cooking & listen to him describe the process. My parents & older brother who were born in China are now gone. I don't hear the Chinese Taishan language spoken anymore. I wasn't fluent anyway, understood more than I could speak, but even that was limited after I moved away from home. My mom spoke to us in Chinese & we answered back in English. My dad split on speaking to us in Chinese & English since he was more assimilated into American culture. That was growing up in America for us. Anyway, it was delightful for me to be able to understand at times what your father said. It reconnected me with my family. Thank you!

    • @user-tz9jh6pv2j
      @user-tz9jh6pv2j 10 місяців тому +4

      Yeah, it's really sad how so many Chinese parents never spoke Chinese to their kids. A lot of my Chinese American friends don't speak a lick of Chinese.... and now they all wish they did. It's a great way to lose your sense of identity and community. Which I guess is the point with a lot of Chinese parents.... they seem to want their kids to "assimilate" by erasing their cultural background. I don't agree with it...
      I am forever grateful that my parents sent me to Chinese school every weekend and I spoke to them in Cantonese all through my life.
      That being said, Mandarin is very important to know if you want to be part of the Chinese community and speak to other Chinese people. I am currently taking lessons in Mandarin. So if you ever feel like you wish to reconnect, a great first step would be to take classes!

    • @nstarr6307
      @nstarr6307 10 місяців тому +3

      @@user-tz9jh6pv2j Thank you for your comments. Yes, I think it was very common for immigrant parents to want their children to assimilate into American culture and blend into their adopted country. Sometimes us kids felt torn between the old ways my parents knew and then growing up as a first generation Chinese American.
      It was very smart of your parents to keep you immersed in the Chinese language, both in the weekend school and household conversation. It is something that I can really appreciate now but didn't recognize the value of at the time.
      Kudos, also, to you for taking Mandarin since it is completely different than Cantonese to my ear and might as well be Japanese! 🙂

    Hello from Malaysia!
    Been watching your videos since the pandemic and learnt how to cook Chinese food at home with your dad's clear and simple instructions. Thank you.
    My family has the same surname, with exactly the same Chinese character. But instead of being Cantonese, we are Hokkiens originally from Fujien Province, China. And although Hokkien is the family's mother tongue, we all speak Cantonese.
    So good of you to put on visual record your dad's skill and experience as a Chinese chef. Not just as a legacy for your family but for all of us Chinese diaspora.
    Gam Xia, Dor Jie, Xie Xie ❤

Thank you for your generosity in making these recipes and instructions printable. I will enjoy making this and bbq ribs I watched and printed earlier.

    I've always followed like 80% of this prepwork when cooking meat for Chinese cooking but still picked up some really useful tips such as patting dry prior to marinading and also mixing some cooking wine into the marinade rather than just for the deglazing portion. Thanks, will definitely incorporate this stuff into regular cooking going forward for a splatter free experience!

    ginger, soy sc, cooking wine, corn starch and choosing the dark meat make it really similar to karaage, the Japanese fried chicken (where they use mirin instead of shaoxing wine). I can tell this dish will be amazingly tasty from Mr. Lau marinade. especially the addition of onions at the end, genius!

I modified the recipe to use less salt (I'm hypertensive) and I didn't have oyster sauce, and it still came out outrageously delicious. Easily my new favorite way to eat chicken thighs, and possibly other cuts, I'll have to experiment to know for sure. :) Thank you, Daddy Lau and fam!
