I'm glad that you show using the stalk. People don't realized it's edible and good. It usually gets wasted. I like it as much as the florets.
-
I appreciate you did not voice over your Dad’s Cantonese. So awesome to hear the native tongue. Don’t change the format.
-
Italian here. I find it fascinating how even with such a distance in our cultures, the cooking of something as simple and delicious as broccoli is pretty much identical. We do fast boiling, keep em green, and sautee them with garlic (we use no ginger). We also prepare the stalks for who likes them (my daughter has always preferred them since she was 2, I never like them). Also, for us high quality olive oil with such a simple dish is necessary. Thanks for the video!
-
I love the fact that even though I can't understand any Chinese, Daddy Lau's simple, straightforward cooking instructions don't need to be translated into any other language; his awesome Dad-energy is adorable, too! Speaking as a daughter who still misses her dad, thanks for your dear Dad's delicious broccoli recipe.
-
I love how you record your dad explaining his cooking in Cantonese. Reminds me of my late father. He always wanted to teach me to cook, but I was always too busy to watch. Thank you for sharing your dad with us.
-
Your dad is so cute “I know what each & all of you like to eat but you won’t know what I like.” The baby clapping at the end is so cute 😁
-
So glad you record it with dad’s explanation in Cantonese so my mother can watch
-
No one on earth cooks vegetables as well as a Chinese chef! Especially broccoli! So much work, love, and pride in every dish! Thank goodness for YouTube so the world can learn these long held traditions.
-
I appreciate your father mentioning what to do when feeding people that have a tougher time chewing. My daughter loves broccoli but has cerebral palsy so chewing is difficult. I look forward to cooking this for her!
-
Watching is so joyful. Finally after 8 decades I have learned how to clean and cut broccoli. Thanks to all of you for making these.
-
So endearing to hear Daddy Lau speak Cantonese, and the subtitles definitely help! Everything in this video is so authentic - the language, the culture, the family, the cooking. Thanks for making this video!
-
I'm so glad to see someone who is a professional and understands the need to wash and then blanch in salty water any vegetables in the broccoli family. It makes the difference between okay and fabulous. I did not know about cutting broccoli upside-down. Brilliant simplicity. I'm going to do it that way from now on. Thanks to you and your dad.
-
This man is amazing! Not only he's an exceptional cook, but a great teacher as well! Thank you for the lesson!
-
I love how your dad said he knew what each of you like to eat but no one knew what he liked. This is such a lovely family.
-
I'm italian but Chinese know what they are doing when it comes to eating veggies, i am soo impressed. Your soo blessed to have a dad like that... what a worker and smart OMG!...
-
Legendary. Secrets of the wok. I feel privileged to get such a detailed demonstration from a guy who obviously knows his stuff.
-
I wish I could express just how much I love these videos. The amount of wisdom you pack into a 10 minute video is always impressive and the little touches of family just go hand in hand with the joy and task of cooking
-
We are lucky to have a senior master chef share his cooking knowledge with the world. Thank you!
-
Whenever I hear your father talk in Cantonese, it transports me back to a time and place when I was growing up with my family. Thank you very much.
