Every time I watch a "Made With Lau" video, I think about how awesome it is that you are capturing your father's specialized knowledge and sharing it with posterity, and that you are working so closely with your family to take your father's business (where he worked so hard for his family) into a new business model. Also, despite my not understanding any Chinese dialects, your father's skill as a teacher is so natural. You all rock!! p.s. Also everything is delicious!
-
Daddy Lau never disappoints!
-
I have been watching for a while and I realized this time I never thanked you for the time and skill you took and have to make this video. Thank you so much for your time ( not only the time to make and edit the video but also the time to perfect the cooking techniques you graciously share with us). Thank you for so generously using your skills to help other cooks. Be well.
-
I had a fantasy that I would learn how to cook my favourite Chinese dishes by a nice wise man with lots of restaurant experience! Fantasy come true! I love it! Thanks Lau and family!
-
This has to be one of my most favourite and comforting soups. Your videos are not only wonderful in teaching us how to cook but your dad's enthusiasm is an absolute joy to watch. It's a cold day down here in Western Australia and this recipe is perfect. Thank you for bringing a smile, and happy tummies, today :goodvibes:

This is an advanced version. I grew up eating a very simple version of egg drop soup. My best guess: Chicken broth, eggs (long strands - do not stir after adding eggs) w a bit of ginger, dash of soy sauce and green onion. Restaurants would give you free egg drop soup w combo meal and if you wanted Won ton, well that was always extra. Developed a taste for Egg Drop soup during my college days. Every Chinese buffet had a vat of Egg Drop soup. Very simple, cheap & easy.

Egg drop soup is one of my favorite. It's such a comforting soup. Simple but delicious and filling. Thank you so much for posting this recipe.
-
i only started making chinese food recently from memory. due to covid and missing seeing my parents as much as before pandemic! this is such a treasure ! thank you!
-
I live in Ohio and on a deadly cold day this soup has saved me
-
I just can't get enough of the wholesomeness
-
I probably haven't been watching you channel as some folks, but your original egg drop video is what introduced me to your channel in the first place, so it's cool to see an updated version!
-
My favourite channel! I think it's so precious to have all these videos for your own memories. It's hard work, but worth it. Thank you for sharing it with us.
-
I'd love to learn how to make hot and sour soup!
-
The whole bowl looks so poetic! ❤
-
Chef Lau is a good teacher, along with his son's educational information...I cooked Siumai following his recipe, minus the Shiitake mushroom (I don't have it that time) but the marinade works wonders, you would thought it was cooked by a Chinese Chef. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in cooking, even my Dad who was a retired Chef liked it!
-
As a lifelong cook it's nice to have someone casually 'demystifying' these cooking techniques.And while I don't understand Cantonese much, it's great there are comprehensive subtitles. Thank you... M'goi Sai!

When my family and I got sick with COVID some time ago, your old egg flower soup recipe was the one i followed. I basically made enough for an entire day. 😅 Since then, I've made it more times than I could count with different variations (depending on ingredients we have/leftovers), and it's always good. I'll try this recipe next time! (Excited because i absolutely love tofu.) 😊😊
-
I can feel the love while daddy Lau is cooking - y’all are amazing
-
I make your original Egg Flower Soup recipe at least once a week. It’s literally perfection! Your recommendation for the Lee Kum Kee Chicken Bouillon Powder was spot-on for making it taste better than the best local takeout places.
