Welp, Im heading to the store for some Jasmine rice. 👍🏻
People/restaurants use day old rice because it's already made and costs less. It also saves rice. People work to hard to harvest rice to throw away. It's a very bad omen to throw away rice. Very bad. Very very bad.
Chx powder has MSG in it.
I always juilenned my carrots I must have tried too hard. Next time I will do it your way and add corn and peas. ty
Do you have any recommendations on a good Wok?
Hearing your dad speak Cantonese is a blessing.
Does your family speak Toisan dialect?
Keep cantonese alive!
@@kalnitezgrow up kid. Yours, the Hong Kong accent Cantonese guy.
@@ChineseKiwi mate , your from New Zealand? Talk to me when you from a richer country
@@kalnitez like that has to do with anything 🤣. Grow up kid.
Thank you for sharing your dad’s wisdom with us.
I am English and I could eat egg fried rice until it came out of my ears
this. the chef is master class period. the wisdom and knowledge he is sharing with the world makes us all better cooks. thank you from the bottom of my heart. like him, i think family is crucial and the most important thing in the world. glad to see you are all together.
Your Father is a National Treasure. Thanks for documenting!
I love how these tips are friendly for home cooking and he never expects everyone to have the same skill level of cooking. If you can't toss it in the wok then use chopsticks with the wok spatula. There's never talking down of how other ppl cook. There is not the "one" method and I like that. I've used both leftover and fresh rice. Both come out great.
i usually use frozen rice and throw it directly into the hot pan with frozen vegetables, and that comes out great too. i've never tasted an asian master chef grandpa's fried rice though so i can't really say how it compares.
@AznPhatty, Exactly! Everything looks doable for a mere earthling 🙂
I love that you include your family in the videos. It brings it from an educational video to a video of love and hospitality.
Its really good that we keep being reminded by the question as he keeps asking his father even though he already asked in their other videos. Watching videos from them really improved my cooking significantly.
I love how you guys gives an alternate choices for ingredients just in case it's not available . I learned a lot of recipes that I can easily follow because of your channel.
Hearing your dad speak in Cantonese is like an everyday household thing for me 👍🏻
These videos are SO. PERIOD. GOOD. PERIOD.
Right back at ya 🙏 Love your videos!
@@MadeWithLaucareful with Adam, notice how he only praise the video is good and not the food.
Beat me to it!
@@haroldnecmann7040 ahahah, cute
cool
I just made the easiest egg fried rice. I used the gas to cook my veg. Thanks uncle. Stay blessed. Those who are watching stay blessed and healthy. Happy Easter to all
It was a privilege to learn from your father's experience. I really enjoyed watching this, thanks to you, your father and your family!
This is exactly how I do it after years for experimentation. If your wok / pan and fire is too small, you can remove the cooked egg and add it back at the end. Always stir at highest heat and use smallest fire when adding ingredients / seasoning. Instead of more cooking oil at the end, you can use sesame oil at the end for another layer of flavour. With much practice, you'll soon realise that the rice texture, fresh / overnight, does not matter. You'll be able to control or change the texture through the frying process. In the words of Yan Can Cook, It's stir fry and not stare fry, so keep moving. I use a well seasoned cheap carbon steel wok with rusted out round bottom seated on a large modified stainless steel mixing bowl on my biggest burner.
Opened UA-cam for a little break procrastinating dinner... Still got dinner 😂 and it's exactly what I wanted. Cooking with Lau is cooking with Love!!!
This might be the greatest cooking episode I’ve ever seen. And I can confess I’ve watched way too many hours of them for how few I’ve tried to create my own culinary greatness. But I at least can confidently say I know greatness when I see it.
Thank you Mr. Lau for sharing your recipe and technique and to your son for bringing it all together for us to watch! 🌞🌞🙏🙏
I really like watching him interact with you，so warm❤I also really like Chef teaching,which are simple and easy to understand 💪🏻
I am now a trying hard Cantonese Cook 😂😂😂 coz I follow most of Daddy Lau’s recipes and tips! My family loves my chinese style dishes
so much that I rarely order chinese take out anymore. Thank you sooo much for sharing your family’s recipes Randy!
I feel like I am Chinese too.
Such a wholesome way of showing how to cook.
Thank you and your lovely dad for everything ❤
With love from Eastern Europe 😘
Thank you so much for sharing. Not only is your father a great chef, but also a great teacher!!
I’m absorbing every second of this masterclass , your dad is a amazing , so much wisdom .
Tell your dad I appreciate him sharing his knowledge. I got my Shaoxing rice wine already and preparing panfried food like a champ! CornStartch is the goat ingredient. Im not eating outside anymore 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Been making fried rice for years since working in a thai restaurant kitchen have to say i picked up on some helpful tips to both improve the flavor and make the cooking process easier. Very well done!
I SO enjoy learning these techniques from your Dad, The Master Chef! He breaks things down So Very Simply, and gives us alternatives, if we don’t have a particular skill or ingredient. I’m so glad that I joined Canto Cooking Club!
THANKS SO MUCH, love your Dad, his cooking and all of your beautiful family!
Can’t wait to make so many of these recipes!
❤❤❤❤
This was so great! Thank you so much. You answered many questions I had about making Fried Rice. Love this Channel. Thanks again!
Looks amazing, as always. Wanted to keep coming up with ideas for possible new content. I’d really like to see shows on Chinese combinations of ingredients, even dishes. Something like what you’d have for dinner on a regular night. Fried rice, beef and broccoli, etc…. I also love the info on where and how your dad goes shopping. Love the episode guys!!
Thankyou both for your time and effort teaching me how to make better meals for my family, much appreciated.
The shots of your family around the table make me want to be there. Your dad is a great cook and a great father.
This was great to watch - I just love "Dad's" cooking skills and tips! Keep up the good work! ❤
The cooking wisdom and tech I learn from these videos are just priceless. My family eats good food because of this channel
Your father is AWESOME!!! I ALWAYS start with your chef-dad when looking for more exotic Asian recipes! I THANK YOU!! I am always learning the best ways to better prepare Asian cuisine!
I love to listen to dad tell us all the detail… we hear all there is to know on the subject! I’m so grateful that you guys are happy to share. Happy New Year to you. 😊
New subscriber here after the second video I've watched! OMG the details your dad adds to his instructions are a game changer. If it's fundamental to the process he shares it, regardless how minute. It's like he is teaching me personally rather than performing for the camera.
My mom's fried rice is my favorite. Though the ingridients are just the rice, a bit of garlic and onions and seasonings, she still manages to make it delicious.
But now that I'm and adult she doesn't cook that for me now, and so I vowed myself to be good at cooking fried rice. Always experimenting with ingredients and exploring new combinations. This video is so helpful. Though I have chosen a different path of making a delicious fried rice with little ingredients... or as I call it, "The poor man's fried rice"
1st time my fried rice turned out non-clumpy and tasted great. And believe me I have tried multiple times. The way you explained the directions and the reasons why, gave me a fuller picture of what I was aiming for and how to achieve it. Thank you
With all my heart, I wish this video was up when I was teaching an online cooking class during the pandemic. I love the technique, languages, subtitles, everything. Keep it up!!
This is the best fried rice tutorial I have ever seen! Tried it tonight and the result was fantastic. Highly recommend this. Lots of great secret tips to get this dish just right ❤🎉
I made this tonight and it’s the BEST fried rice I’ve ever made/ tasted!!’ I’m notorious for being a terrible cook and it came out perfectly!! Thank you Daddy Lau 🙏🙌🙌🙌
Good for you....I have been trying this and it's still not good 😢😢
@@shark4sk , just keep on trying.
I burned AND overcooked rice, pan, wok, eggs....You name, I "killed it" more than once. It became personal. I made small portions as not to waste foods (eggs, vegetable and rice are pretty expensive now!), but ....finally, I got it so it tastes really, really good LOL
Hi brother it is so wonderful how you promote your precious Dad's skills with the world. It is such a blessed way to show love to parents & sharing them with the world, thank you so much for helping the world love, respect & promote our precious parents.. God Bless you & your household brother..
the final step of flipping bowl was amazing. Really made it much nicer. Loved it!
This is wonderful. We love fried rice. I was always too scared to make it, but with your father showing us how to do it, I will try. Thank you so much for all the great recipes.
The key is to not overload your cooking vessel. You got this.
I absolutely ❤ this channel thanks for sharing . I’ve learned so much 😊
Sir... Truly admire Your Dad's Confidence... Body Language and Steady Hands(that of a Master Chef) at this age... Hatsss offf... Thanks for sharing his Wisdom 😊
Thank you so much.. loved how he explained the whole procedure.. Stay Blessed
Your father is amazing. Thank you for highlighting him and showing his mad skills.
Have to say this is by far more logical and precise than I've seen previously. All my fried rice attempts have been subpar previously due to the missing data you both provided. Thank you.
😅😊😊
I have all of my ingredients for fried rice out and ready and wanted to try a different way and stumbled on this video. I'll give your dad's techniques a try in just a minute here. Tell him thank you so much for sharing his wisdom! I appreciate the video!
Wonderful cooking and very informative and easy to follow processes. Have only watched 3 clips so far but easy to see where have I gone wrong with Chinese cuisine in the past.
Lau is indeed a master at his trade. And as they say you can see the love he has whilst cooking which is the most secret of all ingredients.
Love how chef Lau share his professional tips plus couple of tricks to fit in homecooking. Specially love the microwave veggie trick. A very thoughtful idea !
My parents used bean sprouts for their restuarant's fried rice. Adds a crunch without adding any real additional flavors. Just toss them in raw towards the end
Listening to your dad reminds me of my grandfather. My mothers side of family is also from Tai Shan. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you and your dad so much. I'm not a cook but I tried this today for the first time and even my wife liked it!
The authentic way that every Cantonese mum, or dad, cooks egg fried rice. And with salted fish, yum! This video beats any fried rice videos I've seen hands down. And I like how Daddy Lau humbly says everyone has their own preference, but I still think his way is the best. And I really love listening to him speak Cantonese!
What is the American equivalent of Chinese salted fish? Canned fish like sardines and mackerel?
@@kewkabe dried and salted cod. I see it at a grocery stores sold by a piece. Check his video on cod. I think it's frozen cod.
ua-cam.com/video/tAdUBjMZiTY/v-deo.htmlsi=vk7XhCMTVhlTUg5M
That trick of sprinkling the green onions on the bottom of the bowl first - so simple but just...ingenious.
Dad is awesome! I love making what he explains...and family loves it.
Man, this channel is a godsend. I just recently have started to try more traditional style Chinese dishes at home, started off as wanting to make better beef with broccoli than the restaurants around me serve. Turned out amazing, and honestly fairly simple once you know how. Now this video on fried rice, which I'm definitely going to try. Not only the recipes, but the knowledge from a master, all around awesome. Thank you!
Always something new to learn! 1:1 ratio for fried rice. Absolutely fascinating and makes sense.
nah bro less 1:09 you don't want your rice to get smiley
I love how your Dad shares his skills and cooking , its like we are just there with you in the kitchen. WIll be making this today.
Made it today came out fantastic!
Thank you all so very much for sharing the recipes,fried rice👍love your Dad,his cooking.you have a beautiful family.🤗🙏
I love Chef Lau’s recipes. We always use Thai Jasmine rice, too. Every time I make a stir fry dish and don’t check with Chef Lau first, or use someone else’s recipe or method, it’s never as good. I love the videos and have learned a lot. Thank you! ❤
"I do not fear the man who can cook 10,000 dishes.
I fear the man who has cooked one dish, 10,000 times"
Also fear the man who has cooked 10,000 dishes 10,000 times
It's a bit weird also because Chinese restaurants are really proud of being able to have a gigantic menu. The Bruce Lee quote is cute, though.
@@Duiker36 Helps a lot that most of dish use more or less the same ingredient in different amount and different combination. At least here in asia anw.
Thank you SO MUCH for this!! I had never made fried rice before and I watched this with my 13-year-old son and we took copious notes and then made it together today. Thank you thank you thank you!!
I too use fresh cooked rice. Although I use short grain Japanese rice as I prefer the chewy moist texture. And the two spatula method is so good for home cooking.
個人在家裡隨意炒飯時，用小火炒蛋後加隔夜飯，不用先抓散，直接用鍋熱加熱冷飯、和鍋鏟壓散米飯，力氣不夠可以適量加點油（千萬不能加水），當冷飯散開時，也就代表飯煮好了～
非常感謝你的支持和分享！老劉祝福您與家人安康快樂!
After 10 minutes of watching this, I feel like a better chef. Your father is the man.
Thanks so much for showing how to do this with fresh rice. I always fail to prep any, so this advice is fantastic! ❤
I also consider myself a master of fried rice.
Some tips/differences: I use fresh garlic, ginger and onion. I use bacon fat to cook it for enhanced flavor. I use a mix of soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar or erythritol and MSG and pour it on the sides of the hot wok to cook out excess water and amp up the flavor before mixing it in. I usually use shrimp and add the left over shrimp liquid to add really nice shrimpy flavor. You can use cauliflower rice instead of or mixed in with regular rice to cut down the carbs/arsenic in rice. Add red chili flakes for a kick of spice or finish with sesame oil for a little nutty finish.
P.S. Your dad is a G!
Unko Rodger jus approved this veejo😯fuyoooo🤯
I thought my health was pretty bad, but when you said that my stirring hand may get tired…. I realized I am doing better than I thought! I can stir food all day !
…seriously speaking, I am grateful for this channel…..!
thanks to you and your dad, my 2 years old daughter love it. and yes I'm using pan and struggled to mix, need to find a good wok soon
I've always had trouble making fried rice & it looks like I use too much water when making the rice. Nice tips.
My 30 year old WOK hasn't been used in at least 15 years. I was (seriously) distraught when my husband tried to clean it, using Brillo metal soap scrub, telling me "I tried to get all the black off"... It's a wonder we didn't get a divorce(!!!) if you know, you know. It had such an unbroken, well-seasoned, perfect patina. I was heartbroken. Seeing the video, I'm breaking it out, restoring, seasoning, and visiting my local Asian market to get good rice, oil, and seasoning, and will start with some good fried rice! Enjoyed your video very much...
I'm having a power struggle with my roommate over my wok, and my cast iron in general. It's about to get heated.
I am so glad i just found your channel! Your Dad is adorable and entertaining. The recipe is great and I am going to try it soon. I look forward to your next video!!! ❤
Thanks for sharing your dad 's skills and knowledge. This was a great video😊
You dad's such a boss because those tosses are just 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾
Uncle title finally 🙏🙏
As someone who loves fried rice but always failed it whenever I tried at home, I gave this recipe a shot and it came out great. The steps are super easy to follow and the results were delicious. 谢谢! 😀
I have high respect to your father. For me, he is the Master Chef in real life🥰
Have Uncle Roger got news for you. Daddy Lau is now Uncle Lau!
Hey Randy, been trying to perfect fried rice for a long time. Do you ever add shrimp or prawns as we call them? They are one of my favourite ingredients in fried rice!
Shrimp, ham, leftover meats... any of those is good.
Your dad's job is totally safe! lol. I am not a great cook, but even my attempt tasted good. I am shocked! Thanks for the inspiration and sharing your recipes with us, Mr. Lau! I am tempted to try a few more of my favorite Chinese foods.
Thank you. This was really helpful. My homemade fried rice always came out mushy. Now I know the tricks.
For anyone who hasn't tried real Thai jasmine rice, just try it, and you'll understand what everyone is talking about.
show this for uncle roger
Damn, beat me to it!
Uncle Roger needs to be shown a LOT of things. 🙄
No msg Haiiiii yaahhhhh
Just because he Chinese , doesn’t mean he’s a Chinese chef lol . In that case , anyone who’s Chinese must as well just proclaim themselves as a Chinese chef
Pls no.
I LOVE this video! First your family is adorable, all of you sitting at the table was fun to watch! I was always taught to use cold rice and never thought about cooking the veggies in the microwave to release to water! I will be making this today! Thank you, Lau family, for sharing!
Thank you so much Mr Lau your recipes are always reproducible and exact. I have never wasted any of my money following your recipes..your kindness and honesty is appreciated and my feeling my family is 😅
Knowing I don't have to use "day-old" rice in my fried rice will help me get to making the food faster, Awesome video!
You don't even have to make the rice dry if you don't want to. It makes it easier to stir-fry, but it's hardly a requirement. I make fried rice all the time with fresh rice. The only time old rice is a requirement is if you're a heathen like me, who occasionally uses Japanese rice 😂
You don't have to use day old rice, but the goal is lower moisture content. You can achieve this by spreading the rice out on a plate 1 inch thick and microwaving it for 6-7 minutes (may need to adjust the time depending on the power of your microwave).
day old+ rice is way easier though. You might find more success
Is rice required or that’s optional?
It’s required, if its not necessary then why is it called fried rice
Thank you. I have been making really tasty fried rice for a long time now. Easy to make and suitable to have anytime. My guests and friends love it .
Thanks for sharing recipe, cooking techniques and your family. Power to the family.
I like the fact that you don't have to make it from the " 1 day old rice" just use less water in a fresh batch, however an important note is that even though the ratio is 1 to 1 the rice that your using has been washed so its wet.
Here's a non cooking tip: don't throw it the water you wash the rice with. Reserve it and water your plants with it! It has nutrients in it. That's what my mom used to do.
We save ours if we are planning to make soup/stew. (Korean stuff like kimchi jigae lol).
My grandma uses it to wash kitchenware or plates that are not very greasy
@@Lofff371 Is there a particular reason why (genuinely curious)? Rice has a tendency to contain/develop spores, which is not good for us, it's why eating old fried rice is more likely to cause food poisoning since most Asian chefs use old rice for fried rice. Why not just vinegar and water?
I've used rice Water to also soak fish before cooking for better flavor and less smell, but not sure if that's related.
@@GLVSCOW There's starch in rice water. Starch is good for removing grease stains.
Don't worry about the spore. Like Chef Lau said, rice that comes in package is actually pretty clean these days. And usually rice water is used to clean stuff right after they are done cooking/eating. You don't keep it for long so there is no reason to worry about developing spore.
@@Lofff371 Thank you, that makes sense from a chemical perspective too. The oxygen molecules in starch wants to bond with the more available carbon bonds in the grease, while something like vinegar is less ideal to form strong carbon bonds to make the grease more water soluble for cleaning.
Note: I'm also mustering everythChem, can remember about o chem, if I'm wrong please let me know xD
I enjoyed that immensely. Your father was very thorough and i feel like i can make this dish. Thank you very much!
Excellent presentation! Love your cooking style! Thank you Mr. Lau!
I can't wait for Uncle Roger to react to this.
LOL, you're calling out Uncle Roger 🤣
And Papa Lau's gonna finally shut. him. up!!
I can just imagine him: "*That* fool? He probably can't even speak Toisan, let alone cook like one."
So I tried your method and just let me say OMG!!!! it was the best fried rice I have ever made hands down from now one this is the method that I will use till the day I die
Bringing back fond memories as my dad was a chef at a Chinese restaurant.
Uncle Roger approved! Fuiyoh!
