📙 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.
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!
Really love to hear your parents' stories and chinese cultures from the early years.. 🥰
So happy to hear you enjoy them @瑾霓Jeanie!!
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.
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 🙏🙏
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 😆
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!!
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.
You're dad's Cantonese is super clear and easy to understand. Come for the food and stay for the language.
This is the most wholesome channel on youtube. This family deserves the social media growth they've accumulated.
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
You dad is such an amazing cook, you are so lucky !! Such a beautiful family you have 🙂Love that you guys speak Cantonese aswell 🥰🥰
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 absolutely love that you shared your whole family with us. Thank you, thank you, thank you. What an honor.
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!
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!
Love this channel. Sharing your dad and your family's culture to the world,so inspiring. GREAT JOB.
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 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 this, I'm definitely gonna try your father's recipe and mad love for preserving his dishes.
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.
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 love watching your father’s passion for food 🤍
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.
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.
I just made this, and won praises from my family members. Super-easy and very tasty-- thank you!
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 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!👍🏻
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 :)
Love the happy vibes. Thanks for sharing your dad and his delicious food with us!
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 ❤️
This cantonese style eggdrop soup revive the good old days with our grandparents.
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.
❤️❤️❤️
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?
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 🥰❤
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 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.
Love this. Thank you for sharing the warmth of your family with ours.
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🥰
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 🙏🏼 ❤
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 ♥️
This is the video tutorial that works best for me: comprehensive yet straightforward, informal yet informative. I have learned a lot from Dad Chef.
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!!

Thank you for the kind words! Glad you got a lot out of the video Ed ❤️ Our fam appreciates the love and support!
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!
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 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!
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!

I love your recipes and watching you cook
