As someone that's visited China a couple of times (while living in Viet Nam for a couple of years) I'm happy you're showing the English speaking audience something very beautiful.

    That was my late mother's favorite soup. No seafood though. We would grow our own, propping melons up on upside down milk crates. After harvest we'd peel and cut up, pack in bags and freeze. When I was growing up, we would go to banquets in Chinatown and this soup was served frequently. You haven't lived till you've been thru one of those 12 course meals. Your dad is great and watching your folks reminds me of my parents.

    Another great recipe and video! I’m craving winter melon soup now 🤗 Like I always say, I learn so much from every video. (I didn’t know the significance behind the name and white winter snow 😱) I so deeply appreciate your parents sharing their recipes and stories with us. And your mom is so right - Cantonese people make good soups and always have it with every meal 💜☺️

    I am Cantonese and my grandfather’s village is also in Toisan. He came to Malaysia many years ago. He was a good cook too. I simply love winter melon soup cooked with pork ribs or chicken carcass with dried oysters. Can add kei chi too.

    My favorite soup to order in a restaurant! Thank you for the recipe! Plain wintermelon soup with nothing added is also one of the most comforting and healing soups to drink. Note to self: buy more cornstarch! Ever since I started making Daddy Lau's recipes, I have been using a lot more corn starch and less flour for cooking and I love it.

    • @MadeWithLau
      @MadeWithLau  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha right?! We've gone through more cornstarch in the past few months than we ever did in years. Never realized how much my dad used it! Agree plain winter melon soup is also soooo comforting. One of my favorites.

    Winter melon soup (the thin broth version) is my favorite too. Like your mom, winter melon reminds me of my (fraternal) grandmother and my mom as well. My grandma used to grow them in her yard and spend hours boiling and watching the pot to making us her special soup. I love that you included the clip of the Toisan village. I’ve always imagined what my mom would describe about the house, and how they would cook. My family is from there as well and I would love to see more. I discovered your channel about a week ago and I’ve been hooked. I share them with my dad as well. Your videos are well made and the conversations around the dinner table is so personal and brings me such joy. I admire the research and time it takes for the production value of each video. It’s like the Chinese version of Alton Brown’s Good Eat’s with the educational tidbits. I look forward to new ones every week. Keep up the great work. Your family is amazing!

Wondering if you could also do a vegetarian series (preferably w/o onion and garlic) or perhaps add tips on how vegetarian can adapt and tweak whatever you are cooking to still enjoy the same. Looking forward! Tks again for generously sharing your dad's recipe and I really enjoy the stories that came with it. Love from Sg!

    Great videos!! I really enjoyed your dad's demonstrations/explanations and how your family talks about the past while enjoying the food. Love the mix of canto and english in the videos..its like how my family conversations are.
    Possible to share recipes/videos on Cantonese slow-cooked soup "lo foh tong" (老火湯) that are usually just made at home (with the chinese herbs 药材)? As a 1st generation ABC myself, I feel like these soup recipes may become lost over time..and we usually won't find these soups on restaurant menus. When I went away for college, I had missed my mom's soup the most.

    • @MadeWithLau
      @MadeWithLau  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      We'd love to do that recipe! I'll add to our list. We definitely want to make sure we do more of these herbal soups because agree I feel like these delicious soups could become lost over time. Thanks so much for watching Mimi. So happy to hear you are enjoying our videos ❤️

    My first memory of winter melon was a guy on a motor scooter selling it off the back of his rear "trunk" by the slice on a scale in the wet market in Hong Kong. He was wearing a tank top and a scooter helmet, with a big cleaver, chopping one slice at a time usually to the exact weight you ordered. Fun time.
