What'd you think of Daddy Lau's recipe?
@Norman Yeung thank you so much Norman!! He's a legend indeed!
Awesome channel!!! By the way, what kind of shrimp is in the recipe? Also, do you already have a show about making siopao or pork pao?
I hit the like button the minute I heard daddy Lau said to cut the meat yourself. That shows how much thought and effort in each dim sum item.
Wow, 😳 I can’t stop watching your videos! Mr Lau explained everything about the food and I’m amazed by the knowledge that he has learned throughout his career! Thanks for sharing all these amazing recipes ~ Keep up the hard work guys! #subscribed ✅
@@MadeWithLau you
I love how you explain why things are done rather than just giving instructions! Thanks!
Awwww you are so welcome! Glad we're able to help shed light on the purpose behind things!!
Same!! Amazing quality content. The video was so fun to watch and educational!
YES I love the historical context and the Q & A - I am in the process of discovering my ethnic heritage - I am Chinese but was not raised with the culture
Right???? Ive learned a lot. And yes, I successfully made my dimsum, my first attempt and it was a success thanks to this video
Your Dad is spot on for soaking/rinsing the meat in water prior to marinating or cooking. Because home cooking elements can never match the intensely high output of commercial/restaurant kitchens, the frying pans/woks will never get to that high searing temperature. Because of this, even after preheating the pans, once the meat hits the pan and the "sizzle" is over, the heat has been sapped out and the meat starts to steam and the left over, excess moisture starts to bleed out of it. The quick stir-fry to seal and and crisp the meat is lost. By soaking out the excess blood/juice/myoglobin, the process is much, much better. God bless and I enjoy watching your Dad cook and more importantly, seeing your family eating it together and making memories.
很耐心地教細節，多謝劉大師，令我們可以學到精湛的廚藝！祝這個節目長壽，給我的兒孫們也可以享用！要去買了學習了。Thank you for letting us learn such meticulous cooking skills. This program is really top-notch. Thank you Randy for sharing Dad Lau’s cooking skills. Sometimes Mama Lau also adds some tips, which is very interesting!
I'm so glad that I can understand Cantonese. It feels like papa Lau is teaching me directly !
刘爸不愧是资深大厨，制作这种酒楼点心都游刃有余、手法娴熟。非常喜欢刘爸的讲解方式，简单明了，把所有的小窍门都毫无保留地呈现给大家。
非常感謝您的讚賞和認可，讓大家明白做法是我應該做的。十分感謝您的支持！老劉衷心祝您及家人平安吉祥！身體健康！
It s so good for home made recipe.
So encouraging to hear him say "it's ok if it's not pretty, you'll get better next time, it'll come with experience"
I've been in hongkong for 24 years, and your dad is look alike my Yeye, he is good in cooking too 😊,we speak Cantonese, I will never forget to speak Cantonese 😁have a blessing day to your family, choikin
I've really enjoyed your UA-cam series. It is wholesome to watch you and your father interact and then watching your family enjoy the wonderful food you are teaching us to make. Keep it up. It's great to learn from someone who doesn't take shortcuts and explains each step thoroughly
i love how the family sits and celebrates eating together, an awesome family for sure and father cooking is such a bonus.
劉爺爺，看到其手勢， 肯定是資深的大厨， 纍積不少實戰的經驗， 劉爺爺能毫無保留的把一生經驗記錄下來，絕對值得一贊
非常感謝您的支持和讚賞！老劉祝福您闔家健康快樂平安幸福！
I can tell how much love and care exists between your family members
You; do you have to weigh each of them?
Dad; NOOOOOOO...I just want to show off how good I am at making them consistently 😁
Me; Yes chef!
Production is so impressive. The way you present your dad’s cooking and cutting into it the Q & A is a great idea. I also appreciate you taking the time to add scientific explanations. Thank you for the fire content!
This is by far the best production on Chinese traditional cooking programmes ever on You Tube.Very succinct and vivid in all aspects from sharing of knowledge through to the final presentation.Kudos to the Lau family, brilliant and unique👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I nearly choked when Mommy Lau mentioned Peony Seafood Restaurant in Oakland. I have so many childhood memories of dimsum there. Didn't realize that you guys are based in the bay! Discovered your channel just a couple days ago since my 2022 resolution has been to learn how to cook Cantonese dishes! Your content is next-level and fulfills such a special niche. Daddy Lau's Cantonese with the Taishanese accent, your voiceovers explaining scientific concepts like myoglobin water, and the clips of your sweet family all eating together make for the perfect feel-good tutorials.
Oh my goodness, I’m addicted to your vids! Your mom and dad are just precious. Thank you!
Mr. Lau is one of the best teachers in the kitchen. This is the best siu mai video. Thank you so much for the detailed explanation.
I can’t tell you how happy this recipe makes me! I was just thinking about how much I miss eating Siu Mai. Thank you :)
Wow amazing as always. Your dad is so patient to explain everything in detail such a great dad! Keep up with the great work.
Love Papa Lau, he reminds me of my late dad. I miss his cooking. Thank you for spreading Chinese traditional food!
I love this guy. Cantonese food is so good when done right. I would weigh 600 pounds if he was my dad. You guys are so lucky.
Thanks Papa Lau! As usual, I always enjoy watching you sharing your recipe step by step and explaining why you are doing certain things. Most of all, I really enjoy your family sitting down together enjoying the food and sharing Papa Lau and Mama Lau's stories! Thanks again. Bless your family abundantly 😇🙏!
So impressive to see a family like yours. Your dad is a good cook and a teacher. Mum so supportive and teaches well too. I watched only two videos and am enjoying it so much.
Having a chef dad is such a blessing ❤️
I love how your dad is telling us the important techniques on how to make it tastse perfect and how to make it look perfect with regards to the texture specifically, I feel amaze by looking at his hands while he do it, I can see the decades of experience and speciality in his profession.. you are amazing for putting this up to share your authentic chinese culinary. Keep it up. More healthy years to your parents and godbless you all.
Siu Mai is one of my favourite Dim Sum. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
Mama Cheung your dim sum recipe is awesome too!!
Mama Cheung our youtube star is here! love your recipes
Awww thank you! Our parents are big fans of your channel! Would love to connect with you!
非常感謝您関注我哋嘅視頻！老劉衷心祝您及家人平安吉祥！
Mama Cheung 😍
Watching and learning fr9m your Dad is a pleasure and a gift.
I love the look on the master's face as you two attempt to stuff the wrappers. These are cool, much thanks!
The opportunity to learn these recipes from a master chef. Techniques that would be lost forever when they pass. Sometimes I really do love the time we live in. Thank you for making these videos.
Love Daddy Lau. You can see after so many years of cooking how precise and efficient he is in the kitchen. What a skill!
Precisely that each siu Mai is 1 oz !!
Wow, i love how they explains everything from chopping to filling up to cooking... It surely is delicious!
WOW! Your dad is a Genius. I am a Chef and find his methods incredibly clear and concise, Thanks dad Lau!!! This is invaluable.
Thank you for sharing your dad's recipies with us. When I watch the videos and see your dad cooking it makes me remember my own dad.
This is amazing and informative. Most recipes just skip over the little details but sometimes the little details are the steps which are the most important in chinese cooking.
Thank you for generously sharing your recipe/culture!!
There's a level of care and explanation in this video that could never be covered by typical cooking channels. Thanks for sharing.
Totally agree. He is passionate in what he does, sincere. People of his generation are so trust worthy. I totally immensed with what he was explaining.. Lol
Love daddy Lau and his cooking. Such a lovely family!
Thank you guys for your channel and these recipes. My parents are Hong Kong chinese and I was born in UK and married to Englishman. We are very connected to our culture and visit HK each year just to eat! Now that I am a mother I want to make chinese recipes all the time. Plus my daughter looooves Dim Sum. So I am showing her her heritage a recipe at a time. Thank you so much. Plus following a chinese recipe in Cantonese is spot on! Hearing 5 faa laam and pork chop mm duck! ❤❤❤
I love your family. And I appreciate you sharing the authentic recipes with such detailed information. Thank you so much.
Such a lovely happy family. Daddy Lau’s recipes is always the best!👍🏼
I don't often see an aftermath of recipes and I appreciate you adding questions at the end, so helpful. Really great addition to your videos.
Thank you so much for these videos! I love hearing your dad speak, his accent reminds me so much of dad and family! I love all the tips. I have tried to make Siu mai from written recipes and never could make them perfect. Now I can’t see I was missing all these tips!
I just made siu mai following your dad's instructions. They turned out SO amazingly delicious. They taste perfect! Thank you posting these recipes!
Amazing, I had some of these at a friends wedding yesterday and they tasted so heavenly. Im proud of you showcasing chinese cusines to the world so that it can be passed down to further generations. Much Love!
Love these videos. I love the English subtitles while listening to Chef Lau speaking Cantonese as it is giving me a deeper understanding of the common words I hear but not 100% sure of. My level of Cantonese is that of a 4 year old that left Hong Kong to a new alien world of Australia.
I think "dumpling" wrapping should be a tradition for all families. May it be a pierogi, ravioli, siu.mai, gyoza, manju, momo, lumpia, egg roll, tamales or whatever equivalent there is in other cultures.
for sure! on holidays its the best thing to do with many hands available and lots to talk about!
I just stumbled onto this channel today and I have to say the level of detail and thought surrounding every ounce of this channel and associated things is absolutely astounding. There is clearly a lot of love put into your work and we can see that dripping from every corner. I look forward to binging everything. From the father's kitchen expertise to (I'm assuming) the son's technical knowledge on camerawork and all else digital its nothing but 110% effort. Thank You Lau Family!!!
p.s. thank you for including both US and metric
I love your videos, always filled with positive energy, family vibes and the teachings of Chef Lau are awesome. Keep it up! Siu mai nation
It is always a pleasure to see an experienced chef cook something. The skill on display is incredible. Thank you for sharing the video and showing the cooking process.
Enjoyed watching your Dad cook, even though I hardly understand a word of any Chinese dialect. Watching somebody teach something they enjoy is always a treat, even if you don't understand a word they're saying.
Pity there's so many ingredients in a lot of Asian recipes that aren't gluten free; my wife is one of those with Celiac Disease. We have found a lot of gluten free alternatives, but many still leave us stumped.
BTW, I love Siu Mai, but with my wife being a Celiac, unfortunately dim sum is a thing of the past for us.
Best to all of you; Keep having fun doing these with your Dad!
This must be what a fathers love feels like.
I love all the tips your dad and mother give! thank you for this recipe.
It was fun watching you all and learning as well. I love sui Mai and dumplings. Will definitely try this.Thanks
Your parents are so adorable with your son! Love seeing the 3 generations together!
we all know the wife won the siu mai wrapping battle. The video's lighting gotten better on this one. Production is getting better each time.
Wow. Such a privilege to be have access to auntie and uncle's experience and wisdom. Thank you for sharing with us!
I am so thankful I have discovered your channel.
I am very excited to following along on your Dad's lessons on some of my life long favorites.
This being one! I cannot wait!
Thank you.
I was gonna humbly request his recipe for “jiu yihm pai gwut”, but now I’m a bit more interested in a dim sum series!
Ooooh I like this idea too
omg yes please make jiu yim pai gwut
Omg please make this!!!
What's this ?
@@sngjoolian English description on most menus I’ve seen has it as “spicy salt and pepper pork” or some other derivation. Basically, it’s deep fried thin sliced pork chops/ribs tossed in a ton of garlic, chilli peppers, and green onions
“Dad just retired as Chef”
And got a new job as UA-camr lol 😂 JK...
I absolutely love 烧卖 as it’s a must have for every yumcha session with family!
I enjoy watching this family’s interaction as much as the cooking part. So genuine and wholesome
Thank you for being so proud of your Dad's talents!
OOoooOOOooo... just from the thumbnail, I already know this one's gonna be gooooood!
Never made any chinese food myself and this video was excellent. Not only is the recipe tasty and easy, but the wrapping technique demonstration was spot on. Got it first try. Thank you Mr Lau for sharing your technique!
This was a really easy recipe to follow! Thanks to Daddy Lau for sharing his secrets!! Love that the recipes are in Canto too!
I appreciate how your father is willing to share his wisdom and your family dishes. I've signed up on patreon because I am so enthralled. I always await for a new video or short. 謝謝你們！
I made these today! I made them as wontons instead of siu mai but I followed the recipe closely. They turned out great! As wontons, they tasted just like siu mai and they added a wonderful flavour to the soup. These were the most posh wontons I've ever made and way better than the cheap frozen ones that you get in Asian groceries. Kudos to Mr. Lau for the fantastic recipe!
Really love ur dad, 伯伯💝💝💝love this video, thankyou for sharing👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Love his expression and passion through his food...
I havent made siu mai (with my dad) since I was a little girl. Dad passed away this year & your video inspired me to give making siu mai another try, thank you. It turned out delicious. My entire family loved it & asked me to make more.
Even at his age, he still got skills! He's a good reference! And I love the life lesson he gave "Your skills will improve with experience".
Thank you so much for sharing your dad’s recipe for siu mai. These are amazing! Bless you!
This is so detailed. Wow! Daddy/Grandpa is such an expert and skillful at making this recipe. Thank you for the share!
i made these and they were beyond amazing! so mouth watering and delicious! Also thank you for subtitles i thoroughly enjoyed the video and listening to Lau and all the tips he gave throughout the video.
You are a lucky dude to have a father that is such an excellent chef.
Your dad is the MVP! I love siu mai! Thank you for this!
The culinary knowledge from your dad, and your mom too, is amazing. Dare to say, far better than any wannabe UA-camr chef out there.
I’ve been waiting for this one!! Thank you for sharing! I’m so excited! Also thank you for adding Chinese/eng subs, I decided to try learning Chinese and this helps!
Edit: hehehe, the bb’s noises are super cute. Gently pinch his face for me 😆💕
Brilliantly explained, alternatives explained and dealing with user questions. The best recipe channel I have ever found
劉老師的敎學非常詳細清楚，讓我受益不淺，真心謝謝你們一家的付出。
非常感謝您的支持！老劉衷心祝您和家人平安喜樂！生活愉快！
Daddy Lau singing when revealing the finished siu mai was so cute hahah
My god I don’t even read the subtitles as he cooks! His charisma translates very well!
I love this channel, it’s the real deal.
Your family is wonderful to watch, thank you for this!
Yeye... love watching you. Love your personality... singing along while cooking!! Reminds me so much of my Yeye that is no longer in this world.
Man, do I envy you having such a dad! Happy eating.
Looks delicious! Can your dad make soup dumplings? I would love to see and learn how to make those. 😋
Very encouraging way of teaching us how to make siu mai. Like the way you discuss during the eating session, casual and informative.
Man I love y'all videos. Your pops is basically an encyclopedia of my favorite food. Thank you for giving that sage knowledge, sir.
Thanks for sharing your dad’s siu-mai recipe. I tried it & it was a big hit on our table! It is the closest to our favourite Chinese restaurant in the Philippines. Please tell him that this is the best siu-mai recipe that I found on YT. I’m excited to try his other recipes!
My favorite dim sum 😍 you are doing such a great job!!!
So good!! Thank you so much Lien :)
Thank you Papa Lau for the recipe & explicit explanation on the preparation. Tried your Siu Mai recipe & it tastes amazing! I'm grateful that I've found your UA-cam channel. Papa Lau you're the best!
Thank you Daddy Lau for sharing the Dim Sum recipe. I've tried it and it turn out so well. I understand now why it's important to dice the meat and keeping it dry.
Really appreciate Daddy Lau sharing his many years of experience and we are able to take a short cut avoiding all the mistakes and we actually enjoy a good quality. Thanks a Zillion Daddy Lau
If he made Siu Mai every Sat/Sun for 52 weeks a year, and he's been a chef for 50 years.. He would have made Siu Mai at least 5000 times..
Can't you just enjoy the video without making an algebra problem out of it?? :-)
Can I just set an auto “like” for every video that you produce? 😄
Do what I did. Go to the blog and donate! I signed up for the 1 yr, $10/month (which includes the dim sum recipes)...it's soooooo worth it and easier than clicking "like" on every video.
thank you so much for sharing all of this on youtube !! wishing all your family always healthy and safe
Yes, yes, YES!!! Thank you so much for this! I looooooooove Sui Mai. It’s one of those that I rarely cook but when I do I just do hundreds of them. Usually spent a whole day in the kitchen when I do it.
😍 Sounds like grandma and grandpa. there’s a bit of Taishanese in the Cantonese.
These are amazing, I made them tonight and my husband couldn’t stop eating it, I didn’t have pork belly or shoulder but I had some minced pork and they came out great! Thank you again for the wonderful recipe. 🙏🏻
I am a huge fan of your dad's recipes n vidoes!! N I love his fun personality n super chopping skills. I've cooked a few of his recipes n it turned out very well! I love Cantonese foods! Thank you toyoir dad for his wonderful videos n recipes!!
Daddy Lau's techniques are really amazing!
I should've watched this before i made my first siuma.
Bravo!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My Cantonese mother used to put a few very finely diced water chestnuts in the mix, to give a nice contrast of crunchy texture and mouth feel. Also one bright green pea nestled in the diced carrot on the top. A little bit of veggie bling.
Water chestnuts will give that sweet, crunchy texture & taste to it.
But you seldom find siu mai with these.
