As a canto speaker who lives away from home atm, its so refreshing and nostalgic hearing a cooking recipe in chinese, it's like watching my dad cook

This recipe is INSANE. So good. I have spent many recipes that take 3 times as long that don’t even come close to all of the different characteristics this dish has. Bravo. The wine step at the end is absolutely key. You can really pick up how it effects the dish

Pro tip for ginger: if you are lazy - ehm, I mean, short on time - like me, or if you’re just not good at mincing ginger finely, grate it instead. “But wait!” you say, “every time I grate ginger it clogs the grater with strings!” Here’s the actual pro tip: *freeze the ginger first.* Then grate it frozen using a micro plane grater. It will produce perfect ginger snow that melts into ginger paste by the time it hits the bowl.

Man I know it's unlikely that anyone involved in the making of online food videos are really truthfully saying that whatever is contained in it is the best thing they've ever tasted, but this actually might be the best chicken preparation I've ever had. Thank you for sharing this.

I've watched hundreds, maybe thousands, of cooking videos and this one is in my top ten all time. Thank you so much for producing this video and thank you Chef Lau for sharing his expertise with the world!

Your dad's insights and tips are just amazing. They turn affordable meals into feasts. Please send my gratitudes to him for showing us so many useful things. Greetings from Montreal.

Trauma dump

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 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!

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!

@@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! 🙂

Best video. I am Cantonese too. Love the way the video was presented. Your dad cooking is simple, basic and yet the dishes he cooks taste so yummy. I have tried a few of his dishes n now I am hook to his cooking. 👍 Lovely family too. God bless.

The subtle techniques to cook the chicken thighs are 🔥🔥🔥such a talented chef!!

The inclusion of the whole family just makes this so much more interesting. Nicely done! 🙂

This channel is ASMR for the soul! Love the way Daddy Lau explains his reasoning behind all his techniques. Also, Son Lau asks all the right questions and the video quality is top notch. This channel is a treasure and the food looks incredible!

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!

Now I know why my pan frys always end up burning😮 Thank you Lau family; always on point with the 'why' and 'how'❤

I just made this and it was *phenomenal*. The flavor was delicious, like something from a restaurant, and the crispiness was unreal, like nothing I've ever made before. The meat stays so tender and moist, too. My two boys really loved it; this will become a staple in my house.

I've seen a lot of cooking videos and this is by far one of my top ten becasue your father expalins the nuances in cooking like adding the wine and covering it to keep it moist versus cokking it without wine and covered that would make it dry. He also has a great presence. Please thank him!

I love this channel so much, your father is such a master chef and also a master teacher. I also love the in-depth explanations of the food science and the lovely view of your adorable family around the table. ❤

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 ❤

Dad Lau is dropping some real nuggets of wisdom here. Loved that he explains everything like why he moves the chicken around, and which side to marinate first. You can also tell he really loves cooking. What a legend. Going to try this recipe soon - thanks for the tips, from Scotland!

Your Dad was having the best time there -- cooking & passing along the Chef secrets ☺👍🏼

I love your channel! Your father is a master, and well deserving of documentation. The video production is perfect, and you always ask the perfect questions to ensure the audience is following along. Well done.

I liked it when Uncle Dad said “Da da da da!” When opening the lid to present his masterpiece ❤️

Watching you I feel so calm and inspired. I've cooked from scratch when young homemaker and now in my 80's looking for more simple ways. I loved watching Joyce Chen and Julia Child and now you. 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.

When I watch your dad cook, I know it’s going to be a treat.

Chef Lau really gives so good cooking tips and advices that you don't hear anywhere else, it's crazy. And although he is a chef he always makes sure that he keeps everything so uncomplicated bc it seems like knows that ppl really don't want to fuss around too much when it comes to everything cooking related. Very much appreciated!

Man watching this truly breakdown into that we are all the same but in our own unique way to us. Your mom and dad’s interaction reminds me so much of my parents… genuine it’s what we all need

I love the detailed explanations of the WHY behind each step. I'm a 29 year old that doesn't have many cooking skills, remembering why each step is important helps me to become a more innate cooker. Thank you for this high quality video

I made these yesterday, and these thighs might just be the single best chicken dish I've ever cooked. 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!
