I made Beef & Broccoli using your recipe and following the video step by step, and it was so good that my son, who is half Chinese, called his (Chinese) uncles and told them "Guess what Mom just made?.. and it tastes like Grandma's!'' That woman can cook so to have something I made compared to hers was beyond AMAZING!!! Thank you for helping me to step my Chinese cuisine game up!🤗
My favorite part of these videos is how you all come to the table to eat and you talk about your parents' memories or feelings about a dish. It's got a similar feeling to listening to my mom reminisce while she teaches me filipino dishes she grew up with

So sweet to see your Dad automatically call you for the taste test, feed you, look expectantly for your reaction, & then the proud satisfied smile when you approve 🤗
I made this last night for myself and my wife. This was absolutely the best beef and broccoli I have ever had my wife thought so too. It was also my first time using a wok. All morning I have been cooking various handfuls of vegetables to practice my newly learned technique. Thank you I just found a new skill to get good at.
With every video, I see your father getting happier and happier. Life is good, enjoy these moments... they are everlasting.
I had a big slab of chuck steak sitting in my fridge that I didn’t know what to do with until I remembered I have all the ingredients for this recipe. I just finished cooking it and HOLY COW dude…… this is so good. My family loves it too. Better than any beef and broccoli I ever ate at any restaurant. Props to you papa Lau! 💕

I watched a few videos and I’m just realizing how much flank steak is used in different stirfry dishes that is wonderful thank you I’ve been cooking Asian food for 43 years I can live a few lifetime and never know everything about Asian food. It’s amazing and I thank you very much for sharing your expertise. I’m so glad your son is part of this. It’s wonderful to see how you work with him.😊

I followed exactly with his recipe, and my husband loved it!
This is the best beef and broccoli ever! So yummy, thank you!
I just enjoy your dads videos so much What a lovely man All of your family is just adorable I am so proud for you that you are continuing his legacy He is so great at explaining what he is doing and why That is a good chef I was wondering what type of wok he uses and the size I also am curious what he is using to cook with The wok fits beautifully on it Is it a flat bottomed wok or round thank you
i love these videos. the family sitting down together, the family discussing the dish, ingredients, history and culture, its such a lovely channel, and full of great recipes that are so uniquely chinese-american
Who doesn't love this classic dish! So great to see your videos again, and they look even better! Beautifully done! Loved the history lesson of this dish, and getting to see your father's amazing preparation method. Thank you for this.
I feel so lucky that this man is sharing his skills with us, can't wait to try this
I love how much satisfaction Daddy Lau has when his son loves the taste of the dish!
What a nice family. Thanks for teaching and sharing all these wonderful recipes!
What a lovely family. Love your son, Randy! He's one happy child!
Beautiful relationship between father and son, melts my heart.
I love this chancel not only provide high quality Cantonese cooking skill, also teaching foreign audience Cantonese!!! 😀😀
Your father is so amazing for sharing his secrets. I never wanted to cook beef coz it always turns out hard. His techniques make me want to grocery shop for ingedients and make your recipe at once. My boys will surely enjoy their next meal. Thank you!
I made this dish tonight for the first time. While I had to substitute a few things (I had NO soy sauce…go figure…used coconut aminos and fish sauce to replace light and dark soy), it was absolutely to die for. My meat could have been better and therefore more tender, but the flavors were so on point. The hubs loved it!! I will definitely make this again, ensuring I have the proper soy and cut of meat.

Hello, I wanted to let you know that I love your videos. Your dad reminds me of the man/father-figure who taught me to cook and bake for nearly twenty years of my life before he passed. Seeing your dad take joy in teaching you and answering questions warms my heart. God Bless You and Your Family.
Great history on the origins of broccoli beef. We will be trying your recipe. Your father is adorable and a great chef!
Just stumbled upon your channel. Your dad is adorable and seems quite passionate about cooking. You are such a good son to share his experience with the world. Thank you for your videos.
Whole family loved this. Better than restaurant quality.
May God always bless ur family..its gud to see elders r respected in ur culture after all they r the true blessings of our life.
Oh goodness, I'm so happy I discovered this channel. I speak English and Mandarin Chinese (putonghua), but Cantonese is my husband's native dialect. This is so helpful for learning it! My parents in law speak Mandarin, but I want to learn Cantonese for them.
I'm so glad you guys are back! I missed y'all. Also I think my favorite part of these videos is when your dad feeds you at the end. It's so funny and adorable. I love watching yummy food being made!

Love the clip, Us westerners have been waiting our whole life to learn how Chinese stir fry meat is so tender. I marinate stir fry's this way every time. Velveting the meat makes for the best stir fry.
This is the best beef and broccoli I have ever eaten anywhere. Truly superb!
Made this for dinner tonight and it was so good, easily the best thing i've had to eat in a long time! Thanks Daddy Lau :D
Papa Lau this looks so tasty! Loved the history lesson Mama gave us. Gonna watch more videos. Keep up the good work.
I love Cantonese cooking style and found this. I am so much in love with Dad Lau's recipes, what a master chef! I wish him stay healthy and cook for a long time. Xx
Omg I love yours and your fathers relationship.
Love the authentic techniques that would be lost but for your Dad’s willingness to share his extensive knowledge. Would love to see his recipe for moo shy pork and shrimp with lobster sauce. I’ve made his chau fun recipe and love it. Thanks a million to you and your family.

I made this last night and though I’d seen corn starch in the marinade in many recipes, I hadn’t any knowledge of baking soda in it! That was the tenderest beef I’ve ever cooked and eaten! By the way I’d eat gaai laan any day rather than broccoli!

@@sallypalmer6482 I have no idea what ‘gaia laan’ is. But ‘gaai laan’ is how these people spelled what I would spell ‘gai lan’ and I was not about to correct them as I am not of Chinese heritage. But whether you call it Chinese broccoli or Chinese kale, it is mild and delicious in this dish. Did you watch the video? Banner at 4:22 shows the spelling used.
My mother loves stir-fry Beef & Broccoli, so I decided to surprise her and make this dish for her. Well let me tell you I have become the most beloved and honable daughter in NYC. She loved it!!. I only had pre-sliced pepper steak stripes in my freezer so that's what I use but followed everything else exactly. I want to thank you Mr. Lau for a great tutorial and a tasty dish. This is definetly a keeper on my list. I will never do a take out of Beef & Broccoli again.
Very nicely done video.. got a very good glimpse into your beautiful family. Excellent recipe too.. Grandpa is full of good food wisdom
Great to see you all back! This is a nice dish that's not difficult to make. Any chances Daddy Lau can make crispy ginger beef for us to learn?
Hey, I've made this several times and it's great! Just wanted to point out that there are a few ingredients missing from the sauce section of the written recipe on the blog compared to what your dad uses in the video, so you could fix.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone rinse beef like that in my life but gosh it makes so much sense why my beef stir-fry never comes out quite right! Far out, lots of golden tips!
Hi gentleman. I have Never cooked from scratch. I only have grilled for Dinner. I watched this video many times and decided to go for it! Used nice Flank Steak. Have Never used a Wok either. The Family loved it! There were No leftovers. Also made Dad's Fried Rice and Egg Drop Soup. Better than Restaurant fare!
I've never been able to nail the texture of stir-fried beef like how the restaurants do it. Looking forward to trying out your technique! If you wanted to swap out western broccoli for gai lan, bok choy, etc., would you follow the same general steps (e.g., blanche in oil + salted water)?

@LouisLouieSZ4

No, the cooking time of Bok Choy and Gai Lan is much shorter than Broccoli. I would stir fry the beef to medium rare first, then i will take out the beef and stir fry the veggie to almost done. After that I add back the half cooked beef to the wok and stir fry it till it is done.
@LittleMissAmy1997

yea bok choy and kailan take much faster to cook than regular broccoli so either blanch super super quickly or just stir frying it after taking the beef out will cook it enough
Yes, please!!! But please tell your dad this ain't blood coming from the beef ;) it is Myoglobin. It's like a dye made out of proteins that colors the water.

There isn’t an equivalent “myoglobin” in the common parlance. Cantonese people do understand that it’s not “blood” blood considering they eat plenty of foods that are pink/red, ie white-cut chicken.
your timing voiceovers for EACH ingredient stage are SO helpful; thanks! (I know I would overcook otherwise)

Ahh yes, a quintessential stir fry. Personally I would cook the aromatics in the oil before searing the beef so it imparts some of that flavour into the beef.
After many years it trying to reach the standards of Chinese cuisine it’s only since I found Chet Lau I put all my know how and is now cooking as he instructs. I’ve mentioned this before and I am doing it again which is:- CHEF LAU DOES NOT PRETEND HE GIVES ALL HIS TECHNIQUES HE ACQUIRED DURING HIS YEARS AS A CHEF - And that I truly admire and fully respect. He reminds me of the old school senior citizens who are genuine as I experience it. Coming from a multi racial society in the Caribbean Chinese cuisine is part of the food culture with European, East Indian and Creole dishes which is one of my favourite also. Again I wish Chef Lau live forever to teach all who know great nutritious and delicious food to always say to Chef Lau you are the “greatest” especially in my book. You get nothing fancy except great advice and techniques from Chef Lau! I wish you was my neighbour.
I made this dish today. My wife and I enjoyed it. She thought the meat was very tender. Beef Broccoli is one of her favorite dishes. I could taste the baking soda. Next time I will use half the recommended amount. I also added a bit of sesame oil and some sesame seeds in the final mix for some additional flavor. Yesterday, I made your garlic shrimp recipe. I used frozen peeled and veined shrimp, though. Came out great. The cornstarch adds a nice little crust to the shrimp and the garlic wasn't overpowering at all. I served it with the fried rice from your recipe. My wife really likes it.
I can’t like more then once 😢
So delicious!! The best part of Made With Lau is all the secrets you learn like adding baking soda to the marinate to make the beef more tender. Thank you so much Mr Lau. I love your videos and recipes!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love that both your parents said they don't really like (Western) brocolli, and that you kept that in the video. That does not diminish my love of Western (or Chinese) Brocolli. I'm planning to make this dish for my birthday next week
First time commenting on food, I made this for my wife who is from Taipei and she loved it, thx

I love beef and broccoli and eat it every time I go to a Chinese place. Thanks for the tips, I will get the ingredients and do it at home
That Kid grows up with great food and even better memories of hanging out with grandpa and grandma ... It gets no better than this ... Thx 4 the recipe! Giving it a shot tonight!
Excellent production. Very well done and very informative.Thanks
Washing the beef remind me when I was a student in the USA and a Chinese student prepared a dish for me. It was a great experience. Possibly the most authentic Chinese food I ever had - it also included pig ears.
Made this and it was absolutely the BEST beef and broccoli I have ever made!!!
Love this! Thank you the Lau family for making this world a better place!
