- Join Mama Lai and I as we cook Buddha’s Delight (Lo Han Jai; 罗汉斋)! This is a vegetarian Chinese dish. Traditionally, it was eaten by Buddhist monks, though overtime it’s become a Chinese household staple- especially at Chinese New Year. There’s a lot of variations in this dish, as you can include a variety of ingredients. We show you how we do it in this video. Enjoy!

👩🏻🍳RECIPE
In true Chinese Mom fashion, Mama Lai doesn’t have a recipe- you have to be there in the kitchen to watch and learn!. Mama Lai freestyles this recipe and makes things up as she goes.
The key to this recipe is the red fermented beancurd (Nam Yu/ 南乳). Basically, you put oil in the pan. Wait til it's hot, and then add the ginger. Wait a few minutes. Add the red fermented beancurd. And then add garlic. That's the base that creates the yummy flavor. And then add the ingredients as you go. First stir fry the dried ones, then the canned ones, and then the fresh ones. Do this in batches. And when you do a new batch, start with the base of the ginger, red fermented bean curd, and garlic.
Add other ingredients as you go. A bit of this. A bit of that. Things like oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, etc. Another key is to sprinkle in some brown sugar here and there to even out the saltiness.
Feel free to look up this recipe online. Other cooking blogs have it written, though you can always make your own variation.

Mama Lai is one tough teacher, and you give her hope that you cook , cut veggies, and learn Chinese. Love mother and daughter relationship ❤️.

She reminds me of my grandma. Wish I paid better attention when my grandma was cooking 😪
We don’t just like Mama Lai….we LOOOOVE Mama Lai❣️💕❤❤

On the flip side, we’ll get more cooking with Mama Lai videos….RIGHT!!!!!
I had Jai for the 1st time recently. Loved it! So many veggies I never tried before. I think I been I been living under a rock. 😳😆
Mahalo for another great video with Mama Lai 🫶🏻🤙🏼❣️🤙🏼🫶🏻
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoy👍🏽
This was fun!! I felt like I was hanging out in the kitchen with you and Mama
So glad to hear that! Thanks for watching!
I think it’s beautiful that you are learning from your mom.
I’m one of those guys who cook cooked and baked with my mom at an early age and fixed cars and rental properties with my dad
Every family has a different Jai recipe. Jai is a daunting dish to make correctly and it’s hard to downsize the recipe for two.
When baking, I weigh and measure, but I usually eyeball when I cook. I love how Mama Lai cooks.
Being able to cook for yourself and others is a great tool to help you shape your health!❤
fantastic......your Jai recipe reminds me of the Hawaiian Chinese version I am used to....THANK YOU!!!!
Thanks for watching👍🏽
Aloha Mama Lai! Thank you so much for sharing with us! I really appreciate you both! The food looks delicious!
Thank you for watching! We’re glad you enjoy!
I want you in Hawaii….but I understand all about family.
They can visit you, as you fly back to visit them…❤❤❤
