I love everything about this channel. Especially the simple, tried and true recipes. No trying to reinvent the wheel. He just shows us how to cook the dishes he, his family and the customers of the many restaurants her cooked at, actually eat and enjoy.
Hey! This is the way my dad used to make them too before he passed away 6 years ago. It's the one thing I learned how to perfect. He adds sweet corn and scallions to ours. It makes me remember him and give me comfort when I'm depressed.
It's nice you included your dinner conversations and the stories told by your parents of past experiences. It's definitely a new way to add to the cooking experience show. You'll have these memories forever. Great job!
Made this after a long and exhausting day to eat with some rice and it's SO comforting. The water trick was amazing, nicest 'flower' I've ever done! Your dad reminds me a lot of my late mah mah, she would teach me about cooking in cantonese. The way your dad articulates himself - the occasional humour, useful tips, always wanting to whip up something tasty for us to eat really reminds me of her. Thank you for your dedication to preserve our cuisine and dishes
Yay so grateful to hear it turned out great and the flower was beautiful. Also so happy that dad can remind you of your mah mah. We hope that with each video you watch it brings back so many happy memories of the two you together 🥰
Add garlic and ginger to this (and a bit more corn starch) and you’ve got lobster sauce, famously served with shrimp in it. One of my favorite American Chinese dishes.
I loved this video! Your dad is so wholesome, I loved how proud he is of his beautiful soup. It makes me miss my parent's cooking and eating dinner with them!
Awwww thank you so much Christine! He’s amazing :) We’re so touched that this brought you back to such sweet memories of your parents! Thank you for the kind words and support 🙏🙏
As Cantonese I love hearing him speak. He is so down to earth and heartwarming. Also love the multi generational family. So lacking in today’s American culture. Thank you for sharing your Dad. He is a treasure
Love to hear Daddy Lau's stories. At times many of us face unfortunate times. It's admireable to see someone who is resouceful to make the best of it then share their stories later in life. Your dad is an amazing soul.
too bad i didn't make a cameo appearance to talk about when i was 10 and this egg flower soup was so bomb that i would literally steal it straight out of the pot inside the restaurant kitchen when mom and dad weren't looking LOL
This channel is amazing for a number of reasons. 1) I am learning to cook Asian food without having to buy it already-processed, which cuts out a lot of the bad stuff processing adds. 2) The recipes are easy to follow, and easier than I thought they would be to make. 3) Your dad is a boss, and does things we should all strive for: Cooking wholesome food from scratch, learning an instrument, and not over-consuming. 4) Family inclusion is so wholesome. I love to see all of you enjoying your dad's cooking :)
I just want to let you guys know that you're one of my favorite YT cooking channels right now. I like how your recipes posted online are very comprehensive and flexible. I also love how you discuss the culture and history behind each dish which shows a lot of heart and passion which cooking should have!!! I hope your channel grows bigger.
Oh wow 🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♀️ Thank you so much @haroldareyou. We are so grateful that you found our channel and have been enjoying how deep we go into each dish. Just wrapped up our next video. Can't wait to share it with you tomorrow ❤️
Just tried this, used beef stock cube as a substitute. Didn't expect much at first, but when I tasted it...BOOM! Wow! The flavors are fantastic. Such an amazing recipe from an excellent chef. Subscribed!
I tried this the other day, cooking for family. And because I didn't want to buy chicken cubes for this recipe, I ended up doing it the hard way and boiling chicken and vegetables to make chicken soup base. Definitely did not turn out as expected but, I also did not put in a lot of salt. But, it was a fantastic and refreshing soup nonetheless! Your dad's trick about adding water to the eggs was amazing! Softest egg "flower" I've ever done.
Yay that's so great to hear Avery! That's totally a legitimate way to make it - my dad usually just suggests the chicken cubes/powder for simplicity but homemade broth is great and healthier! Glad to hear it turned out soft :) Thank you so much for trying the recipe and for the love and support. Are there any recipes you want to see next?
The videos just keep getting better! I love the addition of the personal notes throughout. Your mom holding your son is precious. You have set up the camera at the perfect angle so I feel like I’m joining the family for dinner! Thank you so much. Great things will be coming for your family.
I want a bowl of egg flower soup so badly now! I'm a new subscriber, and I think your father must be an amazing person, I've also fallen in love with your family. Whether you realize it or not, you are showing us all what family is supposed to be, and it warms my heart!
Your dad is so talented. He cooks, he plays the flute, he’s a great teacher.... what more can he do? Thanks for sharing and preserving your dad’s recipes and insights for us. 🙏🏻 Also I noticed your dad’s style of talking is very gentle and relaxed. He’s very soothing to listen to. The way he talks (word choices) reminds me of a Cantonese version of my grandma (she spoke Taishanese). I miss my grandma so much and I don’t know if it sounds odd, but watching your dad reminds me of her. It’s almost therapeutic. Everything he said about how hard it was to have eggs and meat on the table and the ration coupons is exactly how my mom and grandma explained to me how tough life was in China. You sharing all these conversations is precious. I really wish I thought about recording all of these type of conversations. Now it’s too late for me anyway. It’s good you are preserving family history. They will be so precious to hold onto and pass onto your son. Sorry I babbled too much 😅 This video got me pretty emotional.
I absolutely adore your parents!!! I miss mine so very much. Cherish your parents while they're still here and carry your father's legacy of cooking and sharing food with others. Thank you for sharing with us your father's love of cooking ♥️
What a beautiful family. Thank you for sharing them with us. Your dad is awesome. How I wish here in America we could value our elders. They have so much to teach. And we have so much to learn.
Old dad always so easy going ... often says "your preference". It doesnt need to be a complicated n expensive dish to bring out the warmth in a family. God bless🥰
Awwww thank you so much for the love! Grandparents are the best ❤️❤️❤️ My mom always wants to hold our baby and competes with my dad for time to hold baby cam hahaha.
I like Dad no arrogance at all. He said put whatever you want in the soup. Older ones are so wise. I've never seen add a little water to the eggs to make it flower nicely. Thank you!
Love these videos!! They’re so beautifully shot and has such a homey feeling to them. I feel like my own family is teaching me how to cook :) Thank you for these!!!
Thank you so much for the kind words! That means so much to our fam :) I’m so honored that it hits close to home for you! Excited to continue sharing with you ❤️❤️
I made this tonight and it was the best I ever made because finally the egg flowered perfectly! I followed Daddy Lau’s advice to add water to the egg and for the first time I finally had egg flower as beautiful and silky as a restaurant! Thank you! No matter what else you put in the soup, thickening with cornstarch and adding water to the egg is what makes the dish successful.
That’s so great to hear!!! We’re so glad the tips were helpful and that it was the best you’ve ever made! Thanks for trying our recipes :) It means a lot to our family!
@@MadeWithLau does your dad know how to make Chinese corn soup or Westlake beef soup? I don’t usually order west lake beef soup because I hate cilantro, so I’d love to make it at home!
Wow, this looks amazing and so simple too. You are fortunate to have this wealth of knowledge at your disposal, and not having to look this up on You Tube like me 😁 thanks for sharing yr dad w us 🥰❤
Hi as a 2nd generation chinese living in europe, thank you so much for sharing ur dad recepie:) It really helps me to understand my roots better than I could ever imagine:) greetings from germany!
Hats off to the dad cooking for family!! Excellent recipe!! I will be making it for dinner tonight. Wonderful son and dad moment to cherish as a quality life lesson!!
I think this is the only channel that is close to authentic Chinese comfort cuisine and I’m grateful to stumble upon your channel. Would love to see more recipe coming!👍🏻
I made this last night for my family. They loved it! Although, next time I will add more chicken base ( I didn't have Knorr, so I used Better Than Boullion), and slightly more sesame oil. I love your family's videos; the explanations make it so easy to follow. Thank you for what you do!
Wow, I was so surprised to hear Taishanese when your dad said the baby's nickname "hong doy". I am also Taishanese, and it's rare to find Taishanese youtubers, so I'm happy someone from my family's hometown is doing this 😀
@@alyahamzah1952 he was mostly speaking cantonese, a lot of people with taishanese backgrounds tend to switch back and forth between dialects, in this case it seems like he was only speaking taishanese to hong doy
@@alyahamzah1952 yup Gareth Wong is right, it was mostly Cantonese. In China they have maby different dialects from different provinces and cities. But Mandarin is used as the primary language there, and Cantonese is the secondary, so most people know either of the two or both in addition to their dialects.
@@aishakhatib685 In Taishanese, "doy" means "son" and it is usually added at the end of someone's first name as a term of endearment. It is a common nickname used for children (but not girls since it means son) but as they grow up, their families and relatives may still call them that. So if someone's name is Ming, their family or close friends might call him Ming doy, and so on.
Beautiful and simply delicious. I made this with equal parts potato starch and granulated dashi. So good and didn’t need toasted sesame oil either. So generous of your dad to share. Thank you 🙏🏼 ❤
Not of Chinese descent, but born n raised in NYC, i was fortunate to have easy access to all sorts of international dishes. Egg drop (flower) soup was my absoLute FAVE as a kid! You couldnt tell me nothing! A classic, so comforting n so nostalgic for me 💛
I’m feeling under the weather, it’s snowy outside, & I actually have all of the necessary ingredients on hand, so this was perfect. Thank you & your wonderful father ❤️
We must protect your dad at all times !!!! He is iconic . He is giving us easy Chinese recipes with actual measurements !!!! Asian parents never measure 😭
I’ve never tried making this because I’ve always been afraid I’d mess it up and end up with scrambled eggs but I feel confident now that I’ve watched papa Lau make it! He’s so encouraging! #flutethefish
I went to bed already but was kinda hungry, so I watched food video and ended up getting up to make this soup. Now it's 11pm, I think I can go back to bed.
This is what I been waiting for, because is exactly what home cook Cantonese foods from what I grew up on.. thank you uncle and his son for making these video.. cheers!
I just learned that egg flower soup is not just the wonderful "exotic" I learned to love from this vid, but there is a version that is traditional to my countries cuisine!!! I have never encountered it as it sadly is with many old recipes, most people never got to know them.... My countries Version uses about 3 table spoons of semolina to thicken the soup that got a bit roasted in some butter, uses nutmeg for taste a broth on chicken or vegetable basis and then gets egg dropped into it ^^
The perfect comfort soup recipe and so easy and fast. Special hugs and love to your family and especially your dad for sharing this gem with us. ❤️❤️❤️
Just made this for my kids because they're sick! It was a hit! Thanks for the recipe!!!!! Also love how you all ate at the table together and talk about life♡♡♡♡♡
I have earned so much from your fathers videos. I grew up on food made from those that escaped Nanking. I know authentic Chinese food and gravies. It is such a pleasure to be able to make healthy dishes. Thank you for getting him out of retirement to share his culinary artistry. Much love
im eating egg drop soup right now. made it using ur father's recipe. i dont have carrot and peas, i only used corn. im adding fish cake and sausage. it was sooo good. that garlic slice also made a huge impact. i love it
Love your videos! I'm of Chinese heritage but didn't know how how to cook Chines disehs.. Thanks to your videos, I've been able to replicate some traditional dishes I ate in childhood. Thank you and your wonderful family!
Thanks for the video. I appreciate this kind of informal, real life video where i can see how other family hanging out and eating while learning a couple of cooking tips my self!
My family and I have been to China in 2015, there are lots of delicious traditional foods. Actually in our country we often go to Chinese restaurants or cook Chinese dishes by my self. I like your dad's recipe👍👍
always love this hong-kong style egg drop soup, which is different than the deep-yellow-color Chinese-style egg drop soup that you see in most of chinese restaurants.
love these videos even a year later rewatching and relearning. I am ethnically half Chinese and didnt get to grow up learning how to cook the food i love to eat
i really like the second part when you are eating. What a lovely family ❤ I like the stories and knowledge about Chinese cuisine. Love the video so much!
I've always wondered how to make Chinese egg soup. When I traveled around the world and was tired of homesickness, I remember comforting myself by eating warm egg soup at a local Chinese restaurant even though I'm a Korean. Thank you for sharing this nice recipe. This is simple, basic and probably most traditional way.
the kindness of this video is so greatful.. thanks to the tips for cooking the dishes and the wonderfull family dinner.. keep bringin up a good cooking recipe.. lovin it!
Your recipes truly inspire me. It’s amazing to see how you can turn so few and basic ingredients into a delicious dish that feeds a whole family. Thank you for your content.
Thank you so much for the love!! We're so grateful to have you with us for the journey :) Sending you love from San Francisco! My wife and I spent a lot of time in India in the past. It's my favorite country!
My dad's name was 鴻 was called 鴻仔 when he was little boy too. Watching your video reminds me visiting close villagers and relatives👏👍😋..Soup is so easy to make and simple. Fantastic family!
I JUST found this channel and its now my new favorite cooking channel :) It SCREAMS at me at the top of its lungs: _Cozy._ Can't wait to try these beautiful recipes.

So happy to hear you enjoy them @瑾霓Jeanie!!

Yes! Oh my God, that was exactly what I was thinking while eating it... "This is delicious and filling, but I need rice" .
Imagine adding chicken to this and eating it on a cold winter day.
Add garlic and ginger to this (and a bit more corn starch) and you’ve got lobster sauce, famously served with shrimp in it. One of my favorite American Chinese dishes.
Or add pork floss
I do and it's great.
This is officially on my winter list 🥰
Our family got a slight variation… adding crab meat / chicken, remove green peas.
I loved this video! Your dad is so wholesome, I loved how proud he is of his beautiful soup. It makes me miss my parent's cooking and eating dinner with them!
Awwww thank you so much Christine! He’s amazing :) We’re so touched that this brought you back to such sweet memories of your parents! Thank you for the kind words and support 🙏🙏
Dad makes it look so easy. Gonna try this recipe out as well. And mom is so considerate to translate for everyone.
This one is so good! Classic comfort food! Thanks for the kind words :) Mommy Lau is the best!
I cracked up when your dad said you think i had eggs to eat when i was a kid?
Reminds me of my own dad😂
Love the direct way he says it. Uncle Lau is a genuine person.
As Cantonese I love hearing him speak. He is so down to earth and heartwarming. Also love the multi generational family. So lacking in today’s American culture. Thank you for sharing your Dad. He is a treasure

My countries Version uses about 3 table spoons of semolina to thicken the soup that got a bit roasted in some butter, uses nutmeg for taste a broth on chicken or vegetable basis and then gets egg dropped into it ^^
Wow amazing
Your voice is so crystal clear
Your father’s flute we love it
Thank you so much! You are too kind :) We are so grateful for your support!
Looks like I'll be watching your channel regularly to plan my family meals! Thanks. 😁

Just made this for my kids because they're sick! It was a hit! Thanks for the recipe!!!!! Also love how you all ate at the table together and talk about life♡♡♡♡♡
I have earned so much from your fathers videos. I grew up on food made from those that escaped Nanking. I know authentic Chinese food and gravies. It is such a pleasure to be able to make healthy dishes. Thank you for getting him out of retirement to share his culinary artistry. Much love
Thank you for sharing. I’ve always wondered how to make authentic Chinese food. Beautiful family. Treasure your parents. 💕
When i miss chinese cuisine, i'll look up to this channel and time to cook myself~

Love your videos! I'm of Chinese heritage but didn't know how how to cook Chines disehs.. Thanks to your videos, I've been able to replicate some traditional dishes I ate in childhood. Thank you and your wonderful family!
Thanks for the video. I appreciate this kind of informal, real life video where i can see how other family hanging out and eating while learning a couple of cooking tips my self!
My family and I have been to China in 2015, there are lots of delicious traditional foods. Actually in our country we often go to Chinese restaurants or cook Chinese dishes by my self. I like your dad's recipe👍👍
Thanks for showing how to fix this great soup, and more thanks for sharing your Dad! Beautiful family. Tell your Dad hello for me.
I am so glad I found this channel, preserving the traditional food
always love this hong-kong style egg drop soup, which is different than the deep-yellow-color Chinese-style egg drop soup that you see in most of chinese restaurants.
Thank you. Perfect for 93 yr old mother❤️🙏🏽
Love this channel. Sharing your dad and your family's culture to the world,so inspiring. GREAT JOB.
I followed this recipe a couple weeks ago I altered it a little by adding garlic and ginger and a splash of cooking wine. It was amazing!
love these videos even a year later rewatching and relearning.

I've always wondered how to make Chinese egg soup. When I traveled around the world and was tired of homesickness, I remember comforting myself by eating warm egg soup at a local Chinese restaurant even though I'm a Korean. Thank you for sharing this nice recipe. This is simple, basic and probably most traditional way.
the kindness of this video is so greatful.. thanks to the tips for cooking the dishes and the wonderfull family dinner.. keep bringin up a good cooking recipe.. lovin it!
Your recipes truly inspire me. It’s amazing to see how you can turn so few and basic ingredients into a delicious dish that feeds a whole family. Thank you for your content.
Food with culture, love, history... doesn't get any better than this.

My dad's name was 鴻 was called 鴻仔 when he was little boy too. Watching your video reminds me visiting close villagers and relatives👏👍😋..Soup is so easy to make and simple. Fantastic family!
I enjoyed listening to his dad's stories
I JUST found this channel and its now my new favorite cooking channel :) It SCREAMS at me at the top of its lungs: _Cozy._
Can't wait to try these beautiful recipes.
I added a can of creamed corn and omitted the carrots and peas, replaced with enoki mushrooms and soft tofu and this was amazing!
