    Your channel is awesome. I appreciate your dad's original audio in Cantonese (his cooking is already super authentic, the Canton audio and his voice makes it even more real, which lacks in RUclips community imo). You as an Asian American producing, translating and getting sponsored is what got this channel successful. As a Chinese Canadian who lives in a very white American city now, I appreciate your content very much and kudos to your family for making this sustainable!

  • @cvcexcomm
    @cvcexcomm 2 года назад +107

    Solid video! I really like the fact that despite your dad's experience, he used a non-stick coated wok to make this dish instead of a commercial grade carbon steel wok. Definitely makes the video more relatable and lets the audience know that this is a dish that can be easily replicated in any home kitchen without fancy commercial cookware.

    • @raychang4185
      @raychang4185 Год назад +4

      You can get a “fancy” commercial grade carbon steel for 20 bucks. A non-stick wok costs more. Plus non-stick had chemicals and you will not get true wok hei. I threw out all my non stick cookware years ago. Could not pay me to use those.

    My family’s absolute favourite dish! I can’t say if my dad made this particular dish even though we owned a restaurant for several years. I love listening to Daddy Lau as he has the same dialect and accent as my own dad who passed away 6 years ago. When he said “Okay! Sik fan!” I almost cried.
    I never learned to cook my dad’s dishes so I appreciate the hard work of Daddy Lau teaching everyone these precious recipes ❤️

    As a teenager, and through college, I worked for a Chinese/Taiwan family- who became like my own family. Listening to Lau is like listening to Pappa, my Chinese chef mentor. After 10 years of working for them- I finally got to go to China! Although I can speak very little Chinese, I understand a great deal of it. Your videos make me feel like I’m home again, with beloved family- still trying to figure out everything Pappa was saying ❤. What a gift!

  • @SL_LCY
    @SL_LCY 2 года назад +6

    Just a lil info. In Cantonese culinary school, this dish is a benchmark to test if a Cantonese chef is able to master the skill of playing with the wok.
    Because fresh ho fun(rice noodles) is very easy to break and stick in the wok, and restaurant wok is big-sized and heavy cast iron with a super high heat burner. So a good chef is able to use minimal oil but make the ho fun not stick together or to the wok, can be light-handed so not break the ho fun, good at time control so can caramelized the noodle but not burn it, strong in wrist can do wok-spinning to distribute the sauce evenly, if not careful everything would be ruined in a short time.
    So a good beef ho fun should be not oily at all, dry in the body, no break or stick, everything distributed evenly, full of wok hey aroma(caramelization in a short period of time).

I agree with how your dad mentioned that cooking from home versus the restaurant is different. Maybe a great thing to gift to your dad is one of those big wok so he can use the hotter fire for his cooking?

    07:03 a tip for knowing if the wok is hot enough, is to splash a few drops of water onto the wok. if the water droplets immediately sizzle and evaporates off, then the wok is hot enough. be sure to allow all the water to evaporate before adding your oil.

    Delicious ! Made this recipe 4 times now and every time it has come out amazing.
    For the meat marinade, I add:
    - 1tsp ginger
    - 1tsp onion paste
    - 0.5tsp chili flakes for spice
    I use dry Rice Noodles. Cover them with boiling water for 15mins (250g) - 30mins (500g) before you want to use them. Drain them and add a bit of oil to prevent sticking.

    Thank you for posting these videos! So nice to listen to your dad talking in Cantonese, love the Q&A, and the feeling of sharing a meal with your family. This dish in particular I have been telling my friends is the kind that is best ordered from a restaurant because it is so difficult to make at home. After watching this video, I decided to give it a try again with my lowly non-stick wok and glass stovetop. The verdict: didn’t look pretty but tasted great. Some of the noodles stuck together and broke into really small pieces but I feel inspired to try again, minding the comments your dad said about flipping too often and too much moisture in the wok.

    Thank you so much for sharing these beloved dishes and making them so accessible. My dad was also a chef and I wish I had the opportunity to record all of his recipes before he passed. Many of them are featured on your channel and I can't wait to try out a bunch of these! Keep up the amazing work ❤

    Randy, you and your dad make an excellent combination and when combined with your patron's questions, you are providing an excellent service to cooking.
    One idea for some of the videos you do is to do ones on the ingredients that your dad uses. Take this episode, a break down on rice noodles would be very helpful to those of us that did not grow up with these. (Fresh rice noodles in Boise, ID? Even here in Sonoma County fresh rice noodles are item that we have to go to SF or Oakland for.)

    How Chef Lau prepped and cooked the beef is tremendous. It can be done for other recipes and other dishes. Velveting meats properly is so important in stir fry dishes. Thanks Chef for showing us how...

    Welcome back! Hope everyone has some much needed rest/vacation. Delicious looking dish as always. I can almost smell and taste it! Again, love when you and your dad hug; that is not very Chinese, nor the high five... hahaha... But I do miss the family meal discussion time -some history on the dish or questions people have. But otherwise, another perfect video!

    Another thing the baking soda does is it raises the pH, which enhances browning from the Maillard Reaction. This is really important for stir frying at home because most people don't have a powerful burner.

    Just wanted to give a quick thanks for your channel and your Dad sharing his cooking wisdom, experience, and teaching. A long time chinese food fan, I thought it high time to learn, and your vids (and website) have been just what I needed. I've made your Char Siu, Yangzhou Fried Rice and just tonight, this Beef Chow Fun. I have also learned how to properly sharpen my knives from those vids which have been much more enjoyable to use. I've been pleased with the outcome each time which is a far cry better than some of the other chinese recipes I'ved tried. Your Dad's teaching of the 'mechanics' and inside knowledge of how to manage the process once the wok starts heating until the food is plated has been the key to the success I've been enjoying (Yummm!). In addition to all this I've been shopping at my local asian/international markets these past few months, and it's been something I look forward to every Saturday as I trudge around my Seattle market(s) for an hour or more studying and learning all the products.
    Many thanks for these vids!
