i love this channel. QQ I bought a bag of frozen Seafood mix. When I have used it in stews, it tasted weird. Should I have par boiled it first? Should I have soaked it in water/ vinegar mix?

It is a common mistake about frying with Olive oil, yes it does have a lower smoke point, but is highly stable and doesn't break down. Peanut oil will break down before Olive oil. Cheers. I'm definitely going to try your father's recipe but going to use olive oil. :)

yeah, it is totaly great ^^ I learned so much about other cultures and cuisines over youtube and with how many food intolerances I have, I would have probably starved if I had not had this well of information at my disposal! My parents cook 6 day out of 7 one of 4 meals, all year, every year but there is so much more to discover so it is a shame to limit oneself like this ^^ Even if I can not eat a lot of the stuff I see, it is still increadably interessting and still teaches new technics and how things go togeather well ^^

God these people are amazing.

I just tried this last night for a friendsgiving; it was such a hit! The shrimp was so juicy and the double fry really made them so crunchy. Since I’m a beginner, I ran into some troubleshooting haha: first, i didn’t realize before putting the batter on the shrimp, that water accumulates at the bottom of the bowl while they are defrosting. I realized that that’s why Mr. Lau scooped the shrimp into the batter, not the other way around. The batter was too runny and fell off on the first fry. How I fixed it was just continuing to fry the shrimp on the first time around, then adding more flour to the leftover runny batter! I redipped the shrimp for the second fry, and it totally worked!! Second, after checking 4 local stores including Sprouts, Costco, Trader Joes, and Ralphs, I couldn’t find ethically sourced shrimp :( Hopefully in the future I’ll have a better budget and check maybe a local fish market instead. Third, I totally burnt the walnuts on the first time around. That heat really has to be lowwwww and you have to take them out sooner than you think! Overall I was so happy to make this for my friends. If a beginner like me can do it, so can you!! Thank you for this recipe :)

Your Dad is a very knowledgeable and patient man! My Dad was a chef but he died before I learnt how to cook. I couldn’t imagine asking him all these questions as his temperament was not up to it. So sweet to see the interaction between your family.

I am chinese and grew up eating lots of wonderful cantonese food but was never taught how to cook it despite being in my 60s now! Your father is such a gem. He provides tips and explain how the recipe should be cooked. I am so appreciative of him and that he is determined his skills are passed on to many. So glad I found your channel!!

I happy to haved seen this comment because I am Jamaican that grew up surrounded by neighbours of all nationalty and I now live in Germany and have friends that are Chinese, whose parents are in the restaurant business but can't cook , you're not the only one . When others meet them they are disappointed that they can't cook and are not the conceived as typical Chinese, just like they are disappointed that I am not typical Jamaican. But it's never to late to learn.

One of the most purest concepts for a YT channel I have come across. Being of Asian descent also, I completely love the way you invite us to eat with you and see you all ineract around the dinner table. Food and family meal time is so important in SE Asian culture! Bravo guys, I wish great things for you all. :)

I really appreciate how thoughtful he is to convert restaurant techniques to accommodate home chefs 💕

Oh my god I have been searching for this batter my whole life. Everywhere on youtube everyone does corn starch+egg and end up with soft mushy batter. This is the real deal. It was crunchy and tasted exactly like in legit restaurants 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

There are many videos on Chinese cooking but what I like is that your father is very detailed abt the ingredients, the temperature & the amount of time needed for each step. What I love most is the close family environment that puts family & love at the forefront. Thank you to the lovely Lau family.

I love the sweet little bonding moments between Randy and Daddy Lau. Warms my heart 💖☺️

Tonight I had the pleasure of creating this dish for my family and the shrimp were absolutely amazing! The sauce is a decadent way to enjoy shrimp. Do not skimp out on any instructions with the walnuts because they are wonderful too! This is a recipe that I will continue to use and be grateful for.

Your dad recipe is now preserved sir, honestly your channel is criminally underrated, would love to see a recipe for the braised beef with daikon (ngao larm) whenever daddy lau feel like it :)

I love watching your father cook. His passion for cooking is in no way overshadowed by his genuine, pleasant demeanor. You have a beautiful family and I'm jealous that you got to grow up eating his dishes 😁

My mom tried this recipe yesterday and it was SO good. One of my favorite banquet foods, and it tasted like the restaurant version. Thank you to Daddy Lau and family for sharing this beautiful recipe with us!

Hope you realize how much you are helping people learn to cook Chinese food. With the pandemic we can cook food ourselves. I've already cooked some of your recipes and they taste original Chinese cooking. Thank you so much to you and your Dad.

At this point, I just call your father “Dad!” I literally just said out loud, “Let’s see what Dad is cooking today!” He is a treasure. What amazing knowledge we learn from your videos 🙏 thank you

I used to work in Chinese restaurants in NYC almost 40 years ago when I was in college. I was not a cook but I have seem enough cooking. I am really glad to see your dad's cooking so my kids can learn from it. He's got skills and much common sense. I remember this beef dish I loved, 法式牛仔粒 "steak in cubes French style". Maybe you can ask your dad to show us that :-) Keep up the good work.

I don’t know how this channel found me, but I’m in love. Your family is wonderful. These videos are wonderful. So much love to you and yours 💜

Just love watching your father cook anything! And thanks for translations! I had this dish in my first fancy Chinese restaurant. I wish I had known how to make this during my job on a shrimp boat while I was a young woman.

Great format! And a great way to preserve your father's legacy. He will truly be remembered long after for what you are doing here. Thanks for sharing! More power to your channel!

Grateful for these canton dishes. Your dad is so precious and I deeply appreciate him teaching us so many delicious dishes in my native language.

I remember going to the US and being so confused at this dish because I'm Chinese-Australian and here our honey prawn dish is literally prawns (shrimp) fried and then covered in honey sauce. No walnuts, no mayo, no condensed milk. It honestly fascinated me because the walnuts and creaminess almost make it taste like a dessert

Honey walnut shrimp originated in Hong Kong and gained popularity in the U.S. in the early 1990s. Since then, this dish is extremely popular year round including wedding banquets. Now it’s a staple even at Panda Express where they charge a dollar more compared to other dish items.

There is another version of this you see in non-Asian restaurants. They call it Bang Bang Shrimp and they make it spicy but it's basically a knock off of the Honey Walnut Shrimp.

Thank you so much for making these videos. Your father has an incredible amount of knowledge about cooking and we're all very lucky you are sharing his wisdom with all the world.

Aside from the recipes, the thing I enjoy most is the beautiful All-American family setting for a meal together. It doesn't get any better than that.

I could just kiss him for his method for making simple syrup, as a former upscale bartender I would have killed for this 10 years ago. I imagine it's very satisfying to have something so indicative of personal family legacy by making something like this, I can't help but feel the best kind of envious. Thank you for the video.

Now I’m in New York City with my career... watching your videos gives me a sense great sense of gratitude for my father’s cooking (he was the family cook)... but really my upbringing. Your videos are informative but also so wonderfully produced. Looking forward to more!

I do remember having walnut with shrimps as a child at banquets in HK There are 2 versions though, 1 is just stirred fried with celery and the other is like the one Daddy Lau made. You are so lucky to have an excellent cook as dad and not weigh a hundred kilo. Also I like the fact you included the additional info on oil and sustainable seafood, oh and condensed milk (I was fed condensed milk as a baby). Thank you and please give daddy Lau my thumb's up.

I honor your father, I will cherish this... thank you greatly for sharing.

I don't know why KZread suggested this video, but this is probably the most informative yet easy recipe video I've ever watched.

It's always fun to watch Daddy Lau's expression when you taste his food!

I can honestly say I have never had this dish but my goodness did I want a seat at that table. It looked amazing!
