📙 THE STORY 📙
Now retired, my dad has over 50 years of experience as a Chinese chef. Everything he makes is SO GOOD. You won't regret trying this recipe!
Also known as “gaai láan” in Cantonese, this is a super easy recipe that I ate almost every single week growing up. Even for a “simple” dinner, my dad would have at least 3 or 4 courses, and gai lan was always in the rotation as his go-to vegetable dish.
We'll also be going over:
- How to pick the freshest Chinese Broccoli
- How to store gailan at home
- How to get the perfect, soft, crunchy texture for gailan
- Dietary alternatives to oyster sauce

I’ll give this a try. I’ve always stir fried gai lan and my kids think it’s too bitter. They might like this better. Thanks! Love your videos!
@@bettyahrens2432 Oooh let us know how it turns out for you and what their verdict is! Thanks for trying our recipes :)
This is similar to how my mum cooks gai lan! Oh I'm feeling homesick. Thanks for sharing this great video.
You mentioned the 8 types of Chinese cuisine in one of your videos. I would love to see your family discuss the differences between these flavors and if some recipes vary wildly depending on regionality.
New to the channel - sorry if it has already been covered! Loving the content. Keep it up!
@@TwinklebotsCantonese our pleasure! Thanks for the love!!
i am a 70 yr. old Filipino woman and I just discovered "Made with Lau," your father is amazing and I have learned so much from his video's and now realize the mistakes I have been making with cooking Chinese dishes. He has inspired me to cook the dishes he has presented. Your recipes are very familiar and recognizable and I can't wait to start cooking with your Dad. Please give him a high five for me and a big hug, your Mom is wonderful in explaining and I admire her patience. You are leaving your son a wonderful library and memories of your parents way of cooking and for generations to come.
I’m a 40 year old Italian man from NY and I’ve had a similar experience with this family. I’ve made quiet a few of there recipes and now I’m seasoning my own woks and have a bamboo steamer now. They’ve changed my whole cooking life. It’s so much fun cooking new and exciting dishes, this family has made that experience so much better for me. Keep watching Filipino women you’ll love it 🙏
It's so 亲切 to hear your dad speaking Cantonese 🙂. A big "Thank you" to him for his generosity in sharing his cooking knowledge and tips!
We are so grateful to hear that you enjoy hearing dad speak in Cantonese 🥰 A big thank you from our family to you for watching and supporting!
I made this tonight and it was great. So simple.

Dad is a gem, who deserves to be treasured, awesome you shared him with all
🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♀️ grateful that you are enjoying our family's videos and learning from dad!
My father passed away, taking his recipes with him. Watching your dad cook brought back such warm memories. Please keep videos coming!
So happy to hear that our videos are bringing back happy memories. Thank you for watching and supporting our channel!
the cooking is great but for me the real gem is the family chat after that makes this channel so different
We are so happy to hear that Brian 🙏🏼 We are so grateful that you found our channel, and we can’t wait to continue sharing many more recipes + family meal times with you! ❤️
18:54… “this shouldn’t take too long” close up of Daddy taping fingers patiently. Priceless ❤️ Thankyou all for the video.
This the best video I have seen on Chinese cooking, you take the trouble to explain what, why, when & how. Much appreciated
Wow, thanks so much Fred! We really appreciate hearing that. Hope your gai lan turns out perfect and you enjoy our other videos too 🙌
I just lost my grandpa and these videos make me feel like I'm hanging out with him again. Thank you very, very much for that. He wasn't Chinese and never cooked, but that special love your parents show during the segments while you eat is exactly the same. Thanks so much for doing what you do and I'm sure that one day you'll know these videos are the best idea you ever had.
Ahhh I am so sorry to hear about your loss. He sounds like an incredible person with many stories to share. We're touched to hear that our videos bring you back to such great memories with a special soul. It means a lot to us to read this!
Your family is in our prayers this holiday season!
@@MadeWithLau He and my grandma are the best kind of people, just like your parents. Honestly, it's one of the things that drew me to your channel last month but I wanted to wait until my grandpa passed to comment. He did it very peacefully today, and I'm grateful that I get an extra 20 minutes of feeling like I'm with him now. Good wishes and happy holidays to all five of you!
@@dokaplan1 I'm tearing up reading and writing this. My heart hurts for you but also I am comforted to know that he passed peacefully. Thank you for sharing that with us. We hope that our channel continues to bring back great memories of your grandpa.
Your dad's cantonese sounds so much like the cantonese spoken by my parent's generation too and takes me back to places and times of my childhood. I pretty much ate all the same dishes that Daddy Lau makes on this channel and can almost taste the dishes when he cooks them. Thank you for sharing!
I love the admiration and affection you have for your Dad. He's a lucky dad and you're a lucky son.
having your dad only speak in chinese while your mom tries to translate all the time is so relatable to my family too lol
It is wonderful to see the whole family of 3 generation still sit & eat their meals together at the table.
I can watch your dad cook anything, and enjoy his explanations. Thank you ☺️ for blessing us with his presence. On another note, I am grateful for the subtitles and keeping the Cantonese language alive. Lovely family dynamics too. Respect. ✊ Great 😌 editing too, easy on the eyes.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We appreciate the love :) It's so important to preserve and celebrate for our future generations! We're looking forward to passing this onto our kids some day :)
I'm glad to hear Cantonese I thought I lost the dialect but your father talked very clear to understand all. Keep good work. Happy New Year.
Thank you so much! Happy New Year :)
Agreed!!
I was growing up watching HK movies with Cantonese dialect and subtitles. Love Cantonese dialect and cuisine.
you gotta keep practicing your Cantonese, HK is no longer the same!
I'm so happy I've found this channel. I love hearing Cantonese and finally videos I can share with my mum!
Please say thank you to your dad for me.
Just discovered your channel, and immediately subscribed after watching this first video! Beautiful family, and your parents are adorable. Your father is so generous with his knowledge and wisdom, with a touch of grandpa humor too. More power to you!
Oh wow thanks so much Diane! We are so grateful you found us and are enjoying the videos (+ my dad's humor 😆) Hope your year is off to a great start and we can't wait to keep sharing videos with you!
Me too...I just discovered this channel and immediately subscribed as well. I love the passion and care your father puts into his cooking. It's simple....no fuss, very healthy. Thanks for the recipe. I look forward to seeing the other videos. Much blessings to all of you.
Since I cook veggies almost daily, this technique is such a game changer for me. Thanks for sharing!
What a cute baby Cam! I'm so happy with his lesson on boiling gai lan. Thanks, Cam and granddad!
Thank you so much Kimi for the kind words! We really appreciate the love :)
I love watching your dad cook! He teaches even the little things to perfect the meal so it tastes good.
I want to thank your family too. I think it’s great to hear your dad speaking Cantonese as well as English translation from his wife and son. It’s a beautiful language.
By far the best Chinese cooking I’ve seen on here! He is very detailed yet his cooking method is so simple easy to follow!!! Thank you and thank you 🙏
Thank you so much 18steps. We are so grateful that you found our channel, and we can’t wait to continue sharing many more recipes with you! ❤️
Good afternoon 18steps Yeah that's it's easy to fallow and very affordable to Us God bless the family esp. The Dad and Mom💖
His "it's easy", "it's simple" is so reassuring for a newbie cook like me :-)
Just wanna say I love your dad so much, seems like such a great grandpa and role model, wish I could cook with him! Thanks for the videos.
Thank you so much Elias 🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♀️ We are so grateful that you are enjoying our family's videos and learning from dad!
I love the scene at 4:05, Daddy Lau's hand tell stories of his life. When he was a chef he likely was multitasking in the kitchen, now with a single task at hand his fingers movement fill the time gap. You are blessed to be able to share this time with your Dad and we viewers gain from his knowledge.
I appreciate you for having a channel for Cantonese dishes and especially taught by a dad that knows his stuff. I'm a first generation Chinese-American so I haven't had much experience and knowledge cooking Canto dishes. Great to see that there's a lot of dishes like this one, which are easy to follow along and cook.
I can't tell you how helpful these videos have been. I'd really love recipe collections for a full course meal if y'all have any ideas. But I'm just enjoying these simple and fresh recipes the most!
Awww thank you so much!!! We are coming out with a Chinese New Year series soon! Any other requests??
My favorite vegetable ❤️ It's always a joy to watch your dad. Thank you for sharing.
Love love love your Dad’s cooking skills.. thanks for posting them.. love listening to your dad speaking Cantonese.. it feels like home as I have been living overseas for so many years. Feels warm and homely to hear you and your dad’s Cantonese 🙂
Watching your family talking and eating together, it make me feeling so warm and joy. ☺looking forward more your dad cooking more traditional Chinese food.
Thank you so much Yuming! We are so grateful that you found our channel, and we can’t wait to continue sharing many more recipes with you! ❤️
So glad I found your channel! Now I can make the dishes my husband loves with exact measurements! My mother in law always just says "add enough until it's right"; partially a language barrier but also cultural, so this makes the cooking less daunting 😅
I don't know which is better. The cooking or the dining part with your family. All is very entertaining. Keep it up.
Thank you so much JD! We really appreciate the kind words :) We're looking forward to sharing more with you!
I was lost all this time trying to cook Chinese food. I glad I found you. I love the way how your videos are structure:" introduction, dad's knowledge, tips and family! As a Peruvian we love this kind of food. Subscribed!
Watching the passion your dad has for his food is so inspiring, it really is like an art form. I’ve been cooking for a few years but am learning so much from your videos!
Your dad playing his flute reminds me of the elderly men who brought their birds in their cages to the park, hang the cages in a tree so the birds could socialise with their own kind. While the birds sang the men either played cards or their other games and chatted or played their flutes. I used to love just sitting nearby watching and enjoying every minute of it. I miss China. I totally stand in awe of anyone speaking Guandonghua…it has heaps more tones than Putonghua…and I struggled with that!
Thank you for making these terrific videos! Your dad is so sweet and talented!
Oh my goodness, thank you so much Ella for your kind words! So grateful to hear that you enjoy learning from my family!
Love your Dad’s cooking ! And your explanation in the background ! So down to earth and so simple to follow !
I watch how your family interacts and I am reminded of my upbringing, which was similar. Thank you for sharing the knowledge of your family. I am a very big fan of your father, to me he is the epitomy of how a man should be, how a man can live a great life and achieve great things through love, sharing and family. Your father is a hero for us all to admire. Well done.
Aw, i love your parents! They remind me of my own. Your videos make me feel like my parents are teaching me how to cook. Love from Singapore!
Aw so happy to hear that Lynnette! Thanks so much for watching and supporting us all the way from Singapore 🥰
Thanks the recipe! This kind of food is so nostalgic for me. Love watching your family.
Awww thank you so much for the love! So many memories with this dish :) We’re so grateful to have you with us for the journey of sharing our recipes!!
You have a lovely dad who enjoys to share what he knows. Every video is precious
Thank you so much Claire! 🥰🥰 We love him and are so grateful to him!
Thank you for sharing your dad’s cooking experience. I love all the dishes he cooks, then again, who doesn’t like Cantonese cuisine? And thanks to you for the interpretation and making these wonderful videos. 🙏🏼
I miss my mother’s Taishanese dishes since she passed almost 40 years ago. Can you feature a few of those? For example, salted fish with pork patty, pork belly with shrimp paste, zhong zhi...I haven’t had these flavors in decades.
I've learned so much from your videos. I made congee a few days ago, now I have to make this too
That's so great to hear Michael! We're so glad that we're able to pass down my dad's knowledge with you :) Hope you love this one too!
A million thanks to Daddy Lau for sharing your gift of cooking with the world 😍
I love watching your dad. I have learned a lot- I am making this tonight. I have made many of his recipes- he breaks them down, where even a non-Asian can make a delicious, authentic Chinese meal. After making wontons following your dad's recipe (I followed it exactly), I find them much more delicious than eating out. Thank you! I think your parents are enjoying their roll as grandparents!
Me Before: How can a video about 芥籣 be 18 minutes long
Me After: I am now an expert on 芥籣
Hahahahaha. Favorite comment of all time 😆
Lol
Thank you for sharing your daddy with us. 💙
Daddy Lau and Mommy Lau so cute together 🥰 watching your family eat together makes me so happy. Haven't been able to sit down for dinner with my family for a few years now so it is very heart warming to watch.
I love Mama Lau's and Daddy Lau's Q&A section. Many things are clarified and reasoned. It helps me learn. Thank you.
Hello! Love your channel, it’s such a great resource, really appreciate how you also include how to buy the ingredients and share alternatives too! Question: can we use the same recipe but switch out the veggie say for sweet potato leaves, spinach or etc?
Leaving the city a few years ago and moving to a small town I'm unable to get the Asian cuisine I grew up with unless I drive for an hour. This has made me make my own dishes and your father has taken my cooking game to a new level thank you 😊 🙏
Same here I moved from Oregon to TN and I've only found a couple of decent restaurants. And I'm an hour away from the closest one. I bought a bunch of veggie seeds so I can grow my own.
So gratifying to immerse in the wisdom of Lau seniors in the basics of keeping and cooking kailan.
Wholesome family, I enjoy listening to your dad explaining in Cantonese
They are taking turns to hold the baby, the baby is so cute.
Haha they love him so much! We love watching how they keep asking each other to hold him so baby goes back and forth the whole meal 😆
LOVE your channel! Thank You!
I watched your Dad's chicken congee recipe and knew I have to subscribe to your channel right away. These days, except with my family (who lives in different country), I don't get to hear Cantonese often. The way your dad goes about explaining the recipe and seeing your family eat together, brings back such fond memories. Thank you for sharing such lovely recipes and heart warming moments with us.
Yay, welcome to our channel Chloe! We are so grateful that you found us and are enjoying listening to the Cantonese spoken by dad. We are so excited to have you as a sub and can’t wait to share many more recipes with you! ❤️
I love the sound of Cantonese
It’s like music to my ears.
I cooked in Hong Kong for many years when I was younger and learnt a lot. Your dad has great knowledge and technique. Pro chef 25 yrs here.
i've been cooking gai lan for 10 years and didn't know half this stuff, time to level up lol
Ahahah glad we could help! So many tips and tricks to learn and share!
Yes! We are learning so much from Chef Daddy Lau. It's been a long time since I have had gai lan. It looked so good.
Lovely cooking tips.Gai Lan is my favourite of all vegetables. I used to buy it every week in London Chinatown. When I was living in East Africa I missed it so much I bought Gai Lan seeds online but it did not grow. Choi Sum grew very well.
Thank you so much for the kind words! You must have many stories living all around the world :) So awesome!
Your dad looks so calm and nice and the family so warm. Please give more vegetarian recipes. Thanks
I’m an American married to Chinese and I was asking my mother in law to teach me to cook some Chinese dishes, but she told me to look at TH-cam for Guidance instead. So I took up her advice and found your channel. Thank you so much for the knowledge you share. Our stomachs are extremely grateful.
When's the cookbook coming out? I want to a hard copy as a family heirloom 😂
Hahaha in a few years probably! Want to do the cookbook proper justice and make it as beautiful as we can :) Excited to have it for our future generations and to share it with you!!
Can we soak the kailan in a jar of water to keep the leaves fresh?
@@MadeWithLau yesss we want a cook book! 🤩
@@mparthur144 Not a good idea to store in standing water. You need to store it relatively dry to avoid rioting. But soak it 30 min before cooking to rehydrate it.
Def want a copy
I made this tonight along with your pan fried salmon. Delicious! Next time: veggie lo main. Bought some shiitakis and king oyster mushrooms for hot and sour soup. Thank you for these great recipes! And I love the Gemütlichkeit (warmth, friendliness, good cheer, cosiness, peace of mind, and a sense of belonging and well-being) of your videos.
That's so awesome! Did you take any pictures of your dishes? Would love to see! Thank you so much for trying our recipes :) We really appreciate it!
I've never heard of that word before. What a great word! Thank you for all the love :)
No pics, sorry. I accidentally put the fish in the wok before coating it with the batter, so I took the pieces out, battered them up, threw them back in the wok. The extra handling broke them up and made them rather ugly. The excitement ruined my timing, so I just threw the gai lan on the plate and they looked like a pile of old clothes. It was delicious, so pics next time!
Thank you the Lau family for sharing the recipe and discussion about the fresh vegetables at the dinner table. I learned a lot from your family.
Daddy Lau is a gem and it's so wonderful you are producing these high quality videos and sharing them to the world! Also love how you sit down as a family and take time to explain everything. I like to say that I can cook very well, but I am humbled to learn a bit more every time I watch a true sifu (master) do it!
Aw so happy to hear that imdan99! So honored that we are able to record these videos of dad and that you are enjoying learning from them! Grateful that you found our channel, and we can’t wait to continue sharing many more recipes with you! ❤️
I have both broccoli and the lee kum kee vegetarian mushroom sauce so I'll definitely have a go at this tomorrow. thanks for another great recipe
How awesome! Let us know how it turns out for you!
The baby is so cute. I enjoy watching him.
Awww thank you so much Lina! He brings so much joy to our lives :)
Love your parents :) always a pleasure to see your dad talking about the food. I learn a lot from your dad. I am not chinese but I love Chinese food. May the Lord bless your family!
Watching your videos makes me remember my dad’s great cooking skills and how much I miss him and his food. He use to cook on a cruise ship with his brother as the chef. Thank you for these videos and allowing me to relive those great childhood memories again.
Love this channel! Only one that I subscribed to! My parents from Toisan, dialect pretty similar to Cantonese, love Daddy Lau’s cooking style and i understand him very well! Tell him to cook up some watercress! Any vegetable dish is good! Salty fish! Dishes that aren’t sold in restaurants!
Oh wow Alice! We are so honored that we are the only channel you have subscribed to! That is really an honor 🙏🏼 Oh yes! We'd love to do salty fish + more vegetable dishes. We will add to our list!
That noodle looks so good with that broccoli. Please share that noodle recipe too. Thank you.
Absolutely! We hope do to that recipe in the near future 🙌 Thank you for watching!
Hi Maria! Wanted to let you know the noodle recipe is now live... th-cam.com/video/7HYlk2I9OD8/w-d-xo.html
What a great idea to cut the middle of the stems! Thanks for putting together all the great videos and thanks to Mr. Lau for sharing his cooking skills.
Yay so happy to hear you enjoyed that tip Trish! Thanks for watching this video. We appreciate your support and can't wait to keep sharing more recipes with you! ❤️
Love your video with the family together to introducing the way to cook the original Chinese food.This is so different than other cooking videos. Thank you so much.
I think your dad is playing the flute in his mind as a timer. That's how he gets it so accurate 😂
He's so skilled 😆
maybe he plays happy birthday song 6 times🤣
Love it and this video! You gais are so awesome. Can't wait to make this dish!
Awww thank you so much Chantel! We hope you love it :)
Solid pun!
@@dokaplan1 wow I missed that.
Hard working and dedicated to families.....Your dad is a hero!
🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♀️ we bow down to him!
As always, thanks to your dad for sharing his recipes and especially for sharing those tips like how to choose fresh gailan and the difference in taste between boiling and frying. Your son is also so cute. His little feet!
thank you Mr. Lau! you're the best.
Ahhh thank you so much for the love Faith! It means a lot to our family :)

@@faithnelson2013 Oh whoa! Can you link me to Kenji's post? Would love to see!
Have become obsessed with this recipe.. so nice to learn about real Chinese food.. not Americanized version of Chinese food..
So great to hear that you've tried and enjoyed this recipe! We are grateful you found our channel and can't wait to keep sharing more recipes with you!
Your dad is my hero - love his explanation and instruction! I've asked my Aunt and Uncle for recipes, but it was kinda convoluted and I simply gave up, thanks to your dad I will cooking and eating my favorite dishes from my childhood.
So happy to hear the dat louie! We are so grateful that you found our channel, and we can’t wait to continue sharing many more recipes with you! ❤️
Love watching your videos and recreating it at home. Thanks for your great production effort. I’m so glad your dad is speaking cantonese as well.
I remember the first time my Poh-Poh sent me to get gailan and I brought back the yellow flowers and she was pissed. Never made that mistake again.
Those are the memories and lessons that stick with you! Especially when taught by Poh-Poh 😆
One thing, I wouldn’t put the lid on while boiling ...helps prevent yellowing, but that’s when I parboil slightly before stir frying. Parboiling it a minute before stir frying helps to keep its vibrant green & not much nutrient is not lost in the process.
Keeping it covered keeps the water boiling.
@@ceecee8757 water will continue to boil without lid as well
AWESOME Video, love how your Dad explains everything from the nutrition and your Mom also say how the taste and how you store your vegetables. Thanks for the video and I hope you and your family have a wonderful safe day. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Currently living in Germany and I don't hear much Chinese (Canto or Man) around and hearing your dad speak really made me feel nostalgic--especially while cooking food! Reminded me of my dad.
Also you wearing your scarf inside at the dinner table is exactly like my parents at home! My parents wear full on jackets inside the house even with the heating on lol.
Love this and thank you :)
I'm so tired of clicking on cooking show recipes and the host says, well I've never made this before so let's try it. You, my dad has made made this dish 100,000 times. Me, yes!
Haha 🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♀️ Grateful to hear you enjoyed learning dishes from dad that he has made for many years. I'm so grateful to be able to learn these from him too!
Lmao, my boyfriend just made this yesterday!! I have to show it to him. Greate recipe!!
Ahaha that's awesome! Hope it was amazing and hope he loves this one too!
Your dad has so many tips I can pick up!
Also thanks for asking many questions, there are things I’ve taken for granted without knowing why, and great to hear the explanation.
Real home made dishes by your super gifted dad.Thank you for sharing
oh wow I didn't realize it was that easy to make!! there goes my excuse for not eating more vegetables lmao
Ahahaha yeah! Barely any prep needed! Hoping our kids acquire a taste for gai lan early on lol. My wife isn't that big of a fan either!
I’m so glad the dreaded ice bath isn’t needed. I never have enough ice.
Yes! Got to save the ice for other good things 🙌
Agree! It’s not a chinese thing to use ice baths. 😂
I love your videos. Honestly, every time I watch one, I think, I hope you are honouring the knowledge of your mom as well as your dad even though I understand that he's the "star" of the show in the videos. So glad she is captured in each one too at the table. :) Happy New Year from a Chinese Canadian in Vancouver, BC.
In the West Indies we call this "poi". Every house has this in their kitchen garden. I always plant it in the summer in pots and it grows like crazy. I wash and store it in the freezer for the winter. It's so good for adding iron to your diet. That's for sharing your dad's and mom's wisdom.❤️
mom: don't interrupt me
ha ha, signs of a loving couple who is comfortable with each other.
Haha I love all the things you notice Awa. I feel like you are a part of our family ❤️

Great channel and website. The editing/production/etc is really enjoyable to watch and I love watching your dad cook and his explanations. You can see the skill and experience in the way he moves his hands so gracefully but deliberately. I’m really excited to see and cook more of these recipes!
Thanks so much Caroline! Super grateful that you found our channel and have been enjoying the videos, especially your appreciation for the editing/production + dad's cooking techniques/explanations. Can't wait to keep sharing more videos with you!
The flute is a beautiful instrument, will definitely be making this dish, as I did many others, from this channel.
I tried making this today. OH MY GOD!!! It was THE BEST broccoli and gai lan i've ever made in my life!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I was able to feed my family an amazing restaurant quality dish which I made by myself. Thank you for empowering your viewers with knowledge and wisdom!
Can't tell you how much I love these segments! Thanks to your whole family!
