What’d you think of Daddy Lau’s recipe?
Love this. Like your dad, my dad was also a Chinese cook and steamed eggs were a part of my growing up. I remember we used to have rice vermicelli, dried shrimp and green onions mixed in with the egg. So good!
Hearing you say 你唔得 to your dad threw me off a bit because it was new to me. And probably because I interpreted it as you're no good instead of you can't. I thought 你唔可以帮我想自己来 (You're not allowed to help me, I want to do it myself) or 我暂时试一试如果唔得唔够力就叫你帮手 (I'll try for now, then if I can't or don't have enough strength, I'll call you for help) were what people really say in a way that it sounds like it makes more sense in my mind. I could be totally wrong though, as I have been told throughout my life that my cantonese sucks too.
I absolutely loved this video – esp the part where you said to absolutely not help you to daddy lau (so real hahah)!! And your parents were so encouraging awww 💕💕 more of you and your lovely fam pls!
Another great dish from the master, thank you daddy Lau! 🙏 oh gosh and the editing, love it! 😍
Omg it looks amazing! And gestational diabetes friendly 😊
I learnt from my grandma that the reason the plate is put on top is so that the egg is silky. I've tried covered and uncovered with plate, covered with a plate has a silkier top
I absolutely adore the father/son bond that they have! They can teach, learn, love, laugh and also pass on to future generations in their lives as well as ours ❤️🙏🏽
I like to use a 20mm handleless frying pan, the aluminum heats up quickly, has a glass lid, has a non-stick coating, and is easy to clean😁
Great channel. Glad I found it. I worked as a nanny caring for a Chinese toddler and learnt to make this for the boy. Loved to eat myself! Thank you for reminding me of the recipe
Family Lau .. very happy to meet your lovely family. I saw first the Ginger -Scallion mix and said , "Ah, medicine". It also makes many foods more delicious too. I was born in Brooklyn, NY on Halloween, 1951 in Brighton Beach near Coney Island! At that time there were very few restaurants. There was a Deli, some Polish people selling delicious rotisserie chicken, a young large Italian man selling pizza and Mrs Stahls Knishes. The knishes were great, everybody ate Mrs Stahls knishes. In the summer people would line up to buy a bag and take to the beach! Then Mr Jen opened the first Chinese-Take Out. My Grandma and I went in bought a container of egg-drop soup, went around the corner and bought some knishes and then walked to the boardwalk sat by the beach and the ocean and ate lunch. Grandma liked the egg drop soup so we often went in to eat that. Grandma noticed there were very few people buying Chinese food so she told Mr Jen that there were many jewish people in the neighborhood and they didn't eat pork or eat food where pork was prepared. So she took him to the Polish chicken place and introduced Mr Jen and he started to buy Kosher chicken at a wholesale price. Then my Grandma made a small sign Mr Jen put in the window "Only Kosher Chicken"! And business picked up! Grandma bought a container of egg-drop soup, went around the corner and gave it to Mrs Stahl who she knew, and Mrs Stahl gave her a bag of knishes for Mr Jen. And Mr Jen often went around the corner to buy knishes and Mrs Stahl went to Mr Jen too she liked his food! I remember Mr Jen coming from the subway with a bag of food he purchased in the city, meeting Mrs Stahl on the street. He gave Mrs Stahl a mango and she gave him the bag of knishes she was on her way home with. It made me very happyI to see them walking down the street together numerous times, Mrs Stahl holding on to Mr Jen's arm. It was a great lesson in my life that people could be friends with other people no matter where they came from or how different they looked, or how different their food was . I was only a little boy!
I watched Mr Jen cut his food with a cleaver like Father Lau does.I found it intriguing and so I would stand on a chair and watch him over the counter. Then Mr Jen invited me to sit down with him and watch. Sometime Grandma left me with him when she needed to do some shopping nearby. Then Mr Jen put a cloth around me and let me wash some vegetables. My Grandma was very happy when she saw me working and thanked Mr Jen with a big smile.When he would eat, he also gave me the same soup for example and point to different ingredients and say, "You like, you eat. No like, no eat". It made eating simple!
My Grandma offered to buy things in NYC when she was going there. Mr Jen said no thank you but Grandma insisted. And she would come home with bottles of sauces Mr Jen needed. Then Mr Jen asked Grandma if he could take me into the city to Chinatown. And she said yes! So we took the subway across the B'klyn Bridge. And we both got on our knees crossing the bridge to look out the window at the boats and the river.
The first time I went into Chintown I thought I had traveled to another world. I had never seen that part of NYC before it was a great adventure. Chinatown was very old fashioned then and very Chinese! We went to the fish lady. Wooden barrels with eals and fish flopping around and crabs. I remember the smell I had never experienced before. And we went in the back and fish lady gave us a bowl of soup with things in it I didn't know existed. And Mr Jen said calmly "You like you eat, no like, no eat," simple rules.
Then the fish lady said in Chinese to him, "who is the little boy? And Mr Jen walked behind me, put his fingers on the corners of my eyes and pulled them out like asian eyes and said in english, "he is my Son from Brooklyn". Everybody laughed even me! I loved Mr Jen. He would hold my hand when we crossed the street and on the train when it was very cold to keep me warm. Mr Jen didn't speak a lot of english but neither did I, I was young. But we talked, he asked me many questions and I asked him too.
Mrs Stahl recommended his food to many people who would come in and say Mrs Stahl said your food is good!
The big young Italian Pizza man would come in to eat too. One day he was there at the same time Mrs Stahl and my Grandma and they were all talking together which was comical to listen to. The Italian had an Italian accent, and Mrs Stahl had an eastern European accent and my Grandma came to America from Russia when she was just a baby but her family didn't stay in NYC like many immigrants. They moved to Arkansas so my Grandma had a southern accent when she spoke english! And then suddenly I heard Mr Jen say a word I had never heard him say before, in fact I didn't know he knew such words. He said "MISHAGAS" which is an old jewish language word which means something like 'someone is crazy or he's crazy'! When I heard him say it I fell on the floor laughing. He came over to tickle me, everyone was laughing. all of these foreign people who looked completely different from each other and sounded different, were laughing and then Mr Jen said in a questioning voice. So 'my son from brooklyn' "You are a Yente" then everyone was laughing because that was a completely wrong word to use. So he picked me up and held me on his lap with his arms around me, and I was holding his arms very happy, very happy indeed.
I use a cleaver to cut my food. I bought a cleaver in Bali. It is not stainless steel or as wide but heavier. The handle fell off and someone glued the handle on incorrectly so the knife has a bend in it. Nevertheless I use it well without any problem because I watched Mr Jen use his hands and fingers to cut food. I can even cut a tomato ultra thinly for example.
So I was so happy to see Father Lau cutting vegetables and preparing a meal. I miss Mr Jen and grateful to him I have learned so much, and have been inspired.
I am a licensed acupuncturist in New York ninteen years. But I only pass through NY occaisionaly. I live in Denmark but not very often!
The passed twenty five years I have given acupuncture treatments and effective structural body work with my hands in Brasil, India, Thailand, Bali, Cambodia, Vietnam.. I have worked in the poorest places and never took more than fruit or a lunch in payment. (oh and sometimes in NYC). I have also been with a great acupuncturist in Beijing, which is a long story!
So the son, of Father Lau how can you be so clumsy cutting food , preparing food or picking up a hot plate from a bath?
How lucky you are that your father has prepared food for you all your life, didn't you watch him do it and learn the technique well?
I'm not trying to be rude to you really, your a nice guy, but you have picked up many american personality traits. But thats what happens and your still youn enough to learn it well … unless you expect your wife to cook for you!!!
I send you all lovely greetings and a warm hug for your baby who is growing fast. Must be all the good food!

You need a half teaspoon spoon. 😅
You never even showed us the finished product! He didn’t show cutting into it or spooning it out or what it looks like inside. 17 minute video and we never even got to see the final dish.

Thank you, a great video. I often cook steamed egg + mince pork, not correctly, now I can cook like a chef. I add little milk, not water.
Cutest video ever! Loved it! We make steamed eggs with chicken broth instead of water with salt, our Goong’s secret. All of our babies grew up on steamed eggs/rice no meat. At least once a week! Thank you Lau’s!
08:41 hahaha omg I laughed abit too hard at this xD
Great idea, beginner's series!
父子同心，其利断金！蒸蛋是我的至爱，感恩刘大厨与 Randy 的合心厨艺教法！好温馨哦！
So beautiful and warm! That’s how I learn cooking from my mum too ❤️💪🏼
I've had my share of steamed eggs over the years; I grew up eating the stuff after all. But, inconceivably, I don't think I've ever eaten it with a layer of ground pork on the bottom. But, I'd like to try it. That said…I do love the smooth, uninterrupted texture of the steamed eggs by themselves. Without the eggs having to share space with anything else. It seems to me that steaming the eggs without adornment is the best way to appreciate and savor the silkiness of these eggs. But, I guess, this version with the pork has its merits too. I'm just glad I learned about it with this video.
expecting some haiyaa, turns out wholesomeness
the oven mitts are actually quite dangerous themselves… when they touch the still very hot water beneath the dish they will soak it up like a wick and bring it right to your fingertips. there it isnt just hot water, but also negates the insulation to the hot dish and conducts the heat of it to your fingers even better than if you just touch it bare.
when you handle the dish with your bare hands you can immediately feel when it gets too hot to handle and let go if you need to. but with an oven mitt that is soaked in steaming hot water when you notice the heat you first have to pull your hands away and then out of the gloves which takes way longer and potentially is enough to give you a nasty burn.
I have made it several times and that warm water is truly working
Randy's lifting the steamed eggs out of the wok and his expression at the 13:38 mark was a truly triumphant moment. I mean, that look says it all.
This was spectacular! I can imagine you being a bit nervous Randy. Daddy Lau was very patient with his student! As I've said before it is so enjoyable watching your videos and we get a revipe for dinner too. Cam is getting so big & he gave you a 2! That's 10 in baby talk😄 Thanks so much Lau family🤗😎🇺🇸🌻🇺🇦🇺🇸
This looks so good I'm def gg make it!
Oh, steamed eggs … that was a childhood dish for me. My grandmother made them for me, this dish always reminds me of her. I'm happy and nostalgic and sad at the same time now. I was never able to make it as good as she did, lol… I will try again 😀
I usually use salty soy sauce instead of salt to make it more fragrance. Put a teaspoon of cooking oil to make it more smoother. It would be best if you use sesame oil because it will be more fragrance and appetizing. Also a pinch of pepper powder to get rid of the egg's natural stench…
Brought back memories of my mom and dad making this dish too. Besides minced pork, they would add glass noodles, dried shrimp and sometimes a salted egg yolk!
I remember using super thick oven mitts to remove dishes from a steamer — I would get the tips wet!
Please step out of the way and let your dad cook. You are all thumbs.
