📙 THE STORY 📙
Now retired, my dad has over 50 years of experience as a Chinese chef. Everything he makes is SO GOOD. You won't regret trying this Egg Flower Soup recipe!
The “fā” in “dáan 蛋 fā 花 tōng 汤” refers to the way the eggs beautifully blossom into fine wisps and strands as we slowly whisk the egg into the soup.
The "Drop" in this Egg Drop Soup recipe refers to the primary cooking technique of slowly pouring the eggs to achieve the soft and beautiful textures of Egg Flower Soup.

What's your favorite way to make Egg Flower Soup? We'd love to know! Also, reply with what recipes you'd like us to make next :)
Wat Tan Hor Fun please 🙏
@@Arrow008 That's a great one! Added to our list :) Thank you for suggesting that.
i'd love to see your dad make Sichwan green bean with pork. or salt and pepper anything!
Hello from Malaysia! Usually one egg in chicken flavoured Maggi mee
@@faithnelson2013 Great ideas! Added to our list :)
This man is sharing his dad with the world. Thank you my friend. What a dad! Now you belong to all of us Dad!.
Amen!
You took the words right out of my mouth seriously that was the first thing that came to mind and I couldn't agree more. 👍👍👍💪
Agree
@@michaelplunkett8059 ⁰
Soooo great full ❤
I love how Uncle speaks like he's teaching his son more than making a RUclips cooking show.
Yes, and we are like a guest in the house listening to him teaching his son :D
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.
Really love to hear your parents' stories and chinese cultures from the early years.. 🥰
So happy to hear you enjoy them @瑾霓Jeanie!!
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 🥰
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 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.
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
Hahahaha we'll have to do a follow up vid. Too good not to share!
Great video and food looks great. Very nice to see the family closeness, very warming
Yeah, a shame, this is a good story, thanks for shareing ^^
I want to hear about this story!!! Did they ever catch you doing it?
@@elenamartinez8815 Many times!!! But it never stopped me, egg flower soup was just too addicting 😆
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 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 🙏🙏
That flute playing is straight fire! And I like the pepper in this dish as well. Excited to give it a try, Daddy Lau style.
Thanks Jayme! Hope it’s another hit with your kids!!
This is the most wholesome channel on youtube. This family deserves the social media growth they've accumulated.
You're dad's Cantonese is super clear and easy to understand. Come for the food and stay for the language.
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.
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.
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 absolutely love that you shared your whole family with us. Thank you, thank you, thank you. What an honor.
Thank you for sharing your chef dad’s Cantonese cooking. It is nice that you and your dad are enjoying the journey together. Keep up the good work.
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.
You dad is such an amazing cook, you are so lucky !! Such a beautiful family you have 🙂Love that you guys speak Cantonese aswell 🥰🥰
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 ❤️
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 ❤️❤️
Love this channel. Sharing your dad and your family's culture to the world,so inspiring. GREAT JOB.
Looks like I'll be watching your channel regularly to plan my family meals! Thanks. 😁
Yayyy! So glad you’re watching and following along the journey! Let us know if you have any recipe requests!!
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.
This recipe was easy, delicious, and most importantly, kid-approved! Thanks again for another great recipe!
Thanks Laura! Passed the ultimate test :) We really appreciate your support and that you're trying these recipes with your family!
I love watching your father’s passion for food 🤍
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’m truly grateful to have been at your table this was fun to watch an I got a wonderful recipe! 👍
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!
I love your dad talent.. Like myself when cooking some food.. Always make it perfect taste and look also.. Thx u so much for thw recipes..
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.
I just made this, and won praises from my family members. Super-easy and very tasty-- thank you!
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
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 :)
It is nice to see such a beautiful family. I love hearing Your Dad's stories and I can't wait to try this soup.
Love this, I'm definitely gonna try your father's recipe and mad love for preserving his dishes.
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!👍🏻
Love the happy vibes. Thanks for sharing your dad and his delicious food with us!
Pretty cool watching your dad. He loves what he's doing ❤
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!
Enjoyed every bit of the video and story. Love seeing grandparents carrying babies, allowing others to eat. My parents always did this for us too!💗
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.
This is the video tutorial that works best for me: comprehensive yet straightforward, informal yet informative. I have learned a lot from Dad Chef.
Thank you Chef & Mommy Lau and Randy for sharing this👍
I love these videos. Very detailed and what’s amazing is that when I make these dishes they taste so amazing. I love the authencity of the recipes.
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.
I loved this! Thank you and Thank you to your dad! He’s awesome!!!!
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.
❤️❤️❤️
Love this. Thank you for sharing the warmth of your family with ours.
This is my fifth video of yours I’ve watched, your father is a wonderful cook, simple straightforward recipes! My compliments and thank you!
Thanks this is my new favorite when I'm sick
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!
I tried your recipe yesterday and it was spot on. Thank you my family loved it. Happy new year
Thanks for sharing this! I love how your dad does this in Cantonese. It helps me with my Cantonese. Thank you for translating in English too!!
Will be trying this tomorrow! Please thank your dad for sharing your family’s recipes
I love your recipes and watching you cook
This recipe came out perfect and I plan on making it again and again. Thank you so much for sharing!
thank you so much for making the link with the adjustable ingredients
I love the family interaction with 3 generations.
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 ❤️
Loved this recipe, the presentation, and seeing your family at the end! Thanks!!
Amazing!!! 1st time I made egg drop soup and it turned out beatiful! Thank you so much!
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!
Thank you for sharing. I’ve always wondered how to make authentic Chinese food. Beautiful family. Treasure your parents. 💕
I enjoyed listening to his dad's stories
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?
Great recipes! Thank you!
Much love to your family.
Thanks very much, this receipt is so yummy and easy to reproduced. And love to hear your dad's sharing his story
I loved everything about this video!
