What Wok does your dad use?
Always wondered what Kats mother speaks? Cantonese? Toisan?
For those of us who can't stomach chopping up a live lobster, is there a good way to kill it before going through these steps? Yikes! 🦞✂️🙈
could you ask your dad to chop the lobster head first before chop his legs.
Please kill the lobster first before draining the urine and cutting off the antenna/legs. Doing this while the lobster is alive is cruel and inhumane.
Seriously love Daddy Lau. So comforting just hearing him speak Cantonese
Hai ar
I agree
Yes ar.
Yes
He sounds like he’s from the village though ,
Finally a video that shows the nitty gritty of cooking a live lobster. Thanks for not cutting out all the important stuff (what to do with the pee and innards, head, etc) thanks!
Adding my two cents regarding the lobster. I appreciate you sharing your father’s process as it happened - it was as honest as it was brutal. Given your commitment and curiosity to knowledge, I’m sure you will read up on the evidence (which seem to suggest that lobsters do feel pain, making the practice of chopping the lobster up before death unnecessarily cruel), and speak to your dad as necessary. He has shared so much of his knowledge with us - it is only right for us to repay him with some of ours!
Well said.
Cruelty is part of nature, but yes we are humans and we should be more ethical if we can right?
Everyone has different ways of doing things, but ultimately at the end of the day killing the lobster in a way that is less painful may still be quite painful to the lobster. It’s very hard unless you have a mini guillotine to get a clear chop all the way through a tough shell. What usually happens is the shell cracks but something’s still connected, so you either have to hack it again with the knife or twist the broken part off. Maybe I’m a bad person for this but I can’t be bothered, not for lobsters. I don’t think they produce much value in society apart from being eaten and what they do for the ecosystem.
Also if you eat meat, I have bad news to you about how those animals got on your plate. It wasn’t pain free or humane
We wish Daddy Lau good health and prosperity ❤️
OMG, I can't believe this video exists. I love this. Keep curating our culture, I and future generations appreciate it.
I don’t know how he does it…but Daddy Lau makes every dish look so easy! 🤯
Yes! Another Cantonese favorite! I've been following since the beginning of the channel over a year ago and am still so excited to see all these different recipes and dishes that I grew up with. My hometown is a densely Chinese populated area in Los Angeles (the 626) - so this dish is at all the Cantonese restaurants. It's so ubiquitous, that I didn't even know lobster was a "luxury food" bc we could get lobster noodles for $18!
It's always so neat to see and hear my culture in these videos. Thanks Randy and Lau Family for another great video~
This past year I have made lobster yee mein five times for my family. Wish I would’ve found this video before I did. I learned so much!!
One thing I would like to add with regards to cutting the lobster. One quick slice to the head will immediately kill the lobster. I do this before cutting off any other parts of the lobster. I also put my lobsters in the freezer for 15 minutes before doing so, it seems to put them to sleep.
Awww your dad is so wonderful and a great cook. A treasure to the family
I’ve always enjoyed and watched every single videos you’ve uploaded. We always talk about how lovely your parents are. I just want to make a special mention of your wife. I really enjoy her interactions with you and your parents. She come across as such a thoughtful and loving person. I’ve a young son but I can’t help but think how lovely it is to have a daughter in law like her. Probably why your parents seem to adore her'
I'm pysched that Daddy Lau has made one of my favorite Cantonese dishes! Lobster, Cantonese style. He makes it look so easy that I, a total dud in the kitchen, might be able to make this. Thank you so much!
This is one of my favourite dishes to get at Chinese restaurants and I’ve always wondered how in the world people made it! Thank you!!
Thank you, Randy and Daddy Lau! I was pondering what to make for the holidays. Now I know what I am going to try. 🦞 Daddy Lau never ceases to amaze me and my wife! 你地識食！
This looks incredible and like I could actually make it! Thanks Daddy Lau challenge accepted.
YESSS! Doooo itttttt!
Oh wow. Hi Beryl!! It's such a staple restaurant dish. And e-noodles are my favourite. But yes a challenge!!
And if you didn't know, Beryl has a pretty awesome channel of her own!
wow you are here!
@@MadeWithLau is there reason why daddy doesn't kill lobster first?
Thought you would ask
OH 7:12 but why not kill right after releasing urine?
Wow! So incredible to see such a decadent and beautiful dish being masterfully crafted. I come from a big source of lobster here in Canada, so seeing it served up this wonderfully is a real treat. Thank you so much Lau family!
I don't think the liquid coming out is 'urine' in the usual sense of the word. It's some kind of internal fluid that would end up adding too much moisture and probably some off flavors to the dish. Its actual bladder and urine release points are closer to it's eyes/antennae.
Uhm, it's really lobster blood. That white, congealed gunk that comes out of a steamed lobster.
Yeah. It’s probably what Cantonese just call it to make it easier to remember. I think that stuff inside will ruin the lobster meat once it’s killed and not cook immediately.
Please please continue to have Daddy Lau speak to us in Cantonese!! 🙏🙏 He is preserving our southern heritage which is dying out sadly. So much beautiful food and language from the Cantonese region😢
Every time I watch these videos, I fall more in love with my Cantonese culture ❤️
I was literally looking for a recipe for yee mein earlier this week. Thank you Pop Lau!
Good to see from start to end on how to prepare the lobster! I'm always scared about this part, but your dad makes it look straightforward! Thank you!
Aww. Your dad is a very charismatic chef~ Great video and recipe!
Love your videos and your dad's teaching. He made cooking so much simpler and less scary for amateur
Thank you for this recipe. I followed this tonight for Father's Day and my family loved it!
Thank you Daddy Lau.... Wish you Good Health and God bless your family always ❤️❤️❤️
Just AMAZING!! Another EXCELLENT tutorial & recipe 😋🌟👏💕 Thank you Lau family 🙏
Great idea to record your dad's recipes and thanks for sharing them with everyone. Really thank your dad's experience and insights to creating some of our traditional dishes. Can you dad make the Chinese rice dish, silken egg beef over rice? The one with the traditional brown sauce, unlike the recent pale-translucent "lobster" sauce that's being sold today.
This is the dish I've been waiting for!!!!! Thank you!!!
Love your dad's rustic style and advice.
This is so delicious. Best way to make lobster bar none! Thank you Daddy Lau.🔥🔥
Now this one is a real classic !!! Thank you so much !!!
So happy to see Cam Cam grow so fast☺️🥰he can eat Mochi now
Soon he will be able to enjoy many dishes made by grandpa❤️
This is awesome! My parents own a restaurant that cooks traditional Chinese food and this is a very popular dish at our restaurant! I have always wanted to learn how to cook, but there is a language barrier between my dad and me. When he explains dishes to me in Cantonese I can pick up some things, but not everything! I enjoy watching these videos as it breaks it down step by step and in English! It is awesome because I can piece together what my dad was trying to tell me due to the subtitles from your dad!
A language barrier between you and your parents? OMG.
This is one of my favorite dishes. Last Sunday I ordered twin lobster with sticky rice. That is a good dish if your dad can make. Looks complicated in making the sticky rice. If you can do this dish will be great. Happy Holidays.
Love learning authentic cooking from your dad 👏
Daddy Lau is such a blessing to have!
May I request 2 recipes:
Tau fu fa, sweet silken tofu soup
Red bean dessert soup. Love all the wonderful videos. I have tried to make several of the dishes and because the instructions are so clear, they actually turned out well.
I love listening to your dad speaking Cantonese and Toisan because my family speaks both at home.
Thank you very much and happy holidays.
Made this for Chinese New year
So grateful to daddy Lau for sharing this recipe. Our fav. Always order 3 lbs lobster with glutinous rice from a chinese restaurant. Only problem is they ripped us off each time. Never felt they served the whole lobster. Situation is getting worst. All we see now are small pieces of lobster barely covering the rice. Now can eat to the ❤ content. So much love for daddy Lau for sharing. Thank you.
Happy holidays to you all and your blessings continues to increase 🙏 stay safe
One of the best Cantonese dishes in my opinion
I just had this dish at the restaurant today! Thanks for sharing, Merry Christmas and a Healthy New Year!
Happy Holidays Dear Friends.
Kindly Thank Daddy Lau for Sharing This Recipe.
It was one of my Favourite Dishes when I lived in Toronto, Canada.
Wishing All At Home Health And Happiness.
Cheers Carlyle
One of my favorite dishes! So hungry from the start of the tutorial to the end 😋
i'm glad you are supporting a local business in this recipe. more content creators need to support their local walk-in businesses, especially nowadays
Are you talking about 99 Ranch? They’re probably the biggest Asian supermarket chain in the US, I doubt they really need all that much support.
My favourite dish!! Love lobster 🦞 noodles. Lau’s family is Amazing!! ❤️🎄🎅
Thank you! Just in time for CNY!
My goal is to make every dish your dad makes. Thanks for posting! 🙂
Awww mine too! Hope you love trying them!!
Happy Holidays. Thank you for this recipe. I will make it for Chinese New Year celebration.
Amazing dish as always! Have a wonderful and happy holidays with the family!
Oh man, lobster yee mein is one of my favorites! Thanks for showing us how to make it!
Thank you so much for the recipes.
This looks absolutely delicious! Daddy Lau always makes it look easy. I love seeing your family enjoy having dinner together & just being together. Baby Cam loves thise noodles! I think this would be a great New Year's eve dinner!🦞🎉🍾. Who is the other lady at the table? Is that your wife's mother? Thank you!!
Wow,i will try this version thanks for the recipe 😋
I like the way your dad cook..i always get recipe to your video..thankyou
This looks great! Thanks for the awesome video, lobster yee mein's one of my family's favorites from Chinese restaurants!
Love your videos! May your family have good health and luck for the New Years !!
tried it today with costco’s headless lobsters. The result is epic!
One of my late mother's favorite dishes. Another great video
Great cook! Happy family, thank you!
I used Daddy Lau’s Lobster recipe today. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. This was my first time cooking lobsters too. I didn’t have the Ye Mien type noodle, so I used spaghetti instead. It turned out so delicious, just like restaurant made!
Been waiting for this episode. Family favorite.
This is my favorite dish! Wow!
Yum! We actually had lobster yee mein last month for my mum's birthday! And now, i (theoretically) know how to make it at home! Thanks!
This is probably our family's favorite Cantonese dish. We're Taiwanese but this is a staple at every family gathering
Dad cooking is extraordinary
Thank you Jim! I agree!
I love lobster yee mee. Will try papa Lau’s recipe next time
Thank you for the demo, will test this with Australian crayfish 😊
Absolutely delicious!!
I am starting to cook and love to know things about cooking. Thanks for this.
Very authentic, thanks for sharing!
I really love this dish, it’s very delicious 😋
Just reminiscing with my mom yesterday about how good lobster noodles were when we were in CA. They don't seem to offer it in MD. Then I see this video pop up on the same day! It looks fantastic.
Tried it, loved it, thank you!!!
That’s my go to spot for my Asian groceries and snacks! Fun! Thanks for making this dish, my mom would always make this dish. my turn to make this dish for the upcoming holiday 👍 Happy Lunar New Year Lau Family 🐅🌕🎊
Your dad is such a master!
Love this channel ❤️ wish I was there eating at the tabs with all of you! Have a happy new year 🎊🎆🎈
This recipe is so good.
Thank you, Mr. LAU, for sharing your techniques and recipes with us I made it today it was very good better than restaurants here. I am definitely going to make your other recipes. Thank you for all you do God bless!
@5:50 OMFG I CANT (BTW, love the channel! I am trying to refresh my Cantonese since my vocabulary is not even to the level of a 4 year old. I married into a Vietnamese family, so the exposure is even less. These videos are giving me the feeling of home that I grew up in.)
omg one of my favorite dishes at banquet dinners
I always order this if it’s on the menu at my favorite Chinese restaurant. You video makes it look way more delicious than what I normally order
I don't say it enough, but thank you for making these videos!
I learn new things about food every time I watch Dad Lau! Now I'll always drain the lobster of its' troublesome fluid. It's so meaningful to be able to re-create the classics at home during this crazy time. Thanks, Dad!
ITM, my Mom used to organize live lobster races in the front yard with (all five of) us kids, but then we'd each plunge ours quickly into the boiling water so they wouldn't feel pain.
Actually the chop is faster and less cruel than boiling it alive. However, Lau's dad can improve by changing the sequence of action. It should be the head chop first. Then do the leg cutting and triming. The leg cutting should be done when the lobster is dead.
Very good, ready for the Spring Festival
the classic banquet fave
Can Mr Lau teach us how to cook the dry stir fry version of yi noodle (乾燒伊麵)please?
My family loves yi noodles but not too much about lobsters - let alone preparing live ones lol. Thanks a bunch!
와우! 요리 엄청 잘하네요 👍
먹어보고 싶어요! 😋
Yummy, thanks for sharing 👍
Happy New Year !
Thank you for sharing
I just made this, amazing
Great chef, thank you.
My family said I'm a decent cook, but I never love making Chinese dishes, they always look so complicated. Cookbooks sometimes don't help, I found that I spent more time trying to figure out what exactly it is that I need to do next instead of actually making the food. Since I moved to Germany a few years ago I began making Chinese dishes because in a smaller city (even with 60K people), I just can't get decent Chinese food. I can't even buy Char Siu (BBQ Pork) in my city. Things I took for granted when I lived in Toronto. I have grown to love this channel and Daddy Lau just makes everything look so easy. Ingredients are a hit or miss though, as we have ONE single small Asian shop in our city, and I have to occassionally drive to Frankfurt, where I can get a decent selection of ingredients. Thank you Daddy Lau for making my life in Germany more endurable. 😆
That looks delicious
Delicious and scrumptious noodle dish Which I would love to try.
How cool that your dad can cook like a chef
8:27 , 11:40 add to the stir fry bloster mixture 2 tablespoons cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water . Yummy
Beautiful recipe
世伯煮嘅龍蝦伊麵，真係傳統手法好正！👍
I made this and it was yummy. The tip on the noodle was great! Thanks
