      A small place I used to go to, had something friends called Vitamin Soup. It was made for frequent customers and had Lotus root, amongst other vegetables and things I didn't recognize. Very flavorful, but light..... not sure if you know what I'm talking about? The other thing I love there was salt and pepper pork.

      Turnip is 大頭菜 and the english translation of the video subject is not correct. It should be radish cake as a Singaporean viewer has pointed out

    What I love about Mr. Lau’s cooking is that he speaks Cantonese!!! 👏 👏 👏
    His instructions is very clear and understandable; not like some people who holds back on secret ingredient…
    I love that he is very interpersonal with his opinions and suggestions of adding or substituting with certain ingredients. Overall, I enjoyed watching the family ambiance that you all gather around the table and share the tasty meal that your dad prepared and light hearted conversation as well!!!👍👍👍

      For me, they represent my whole upbringing. We only spoke Cantonese in the house and knew other Cantonese families, but that past is gradually going away for me, as I'm more Americanized but still wish to retain my Canto-side. These videos are like a record of that culture I grew up in, and a way for me to reconnect.

On another note, I found this channel on Subtle Canto Traits, and as a 1st gen ABC trying to learn more about my culture and cook my favorite foods growing up, this channel truly is amazing. It makes me a little emotional just watching these videos and seeing how you are preserving these family traditions for your son hits home for me as I envision how I want to pass on the same traditions to my future children with my fiance. I also really appreciate the subtitles! It helps me to keep up with the little Cantonese that I know and hopefully I can get better at it the more I watch these videos.

    I’ve made this twice now and it is truly the most delicious turnip cake I’ve ever had - so much better than any I’ve had in restaurants! The recipe is perfect. The
    The hardest thing is the wait until cool enough to cut.
    It is a really comforting dish and the amount in this recipe is enough to freeze some portions. I froze slices separated by non-stick paper so I can take out as many slices as I want which will be fried. I’d encourage anyone who hasn’t had turnip cake to try this. It’s so more-ish.

    Thank you for sharing this recipe! I made turnip cake for the first time last night and finally got to eat it this morning. It tastes just like I remember from my childhood. I've moved to an area where the dim sum restauants are not great. I'm so happy to be able to make this at home now! Home is where the good dim sum is...❤

    Thank you so much for creating these amazing videos. My Great-Grandfather came to the US in the late 1890's from the same southern region of China as your family and I remember my Grandfather making many of the same dishes your Dad makes on this channel when I was growing up. In fact, Daddy Lau reminds me a lot of my Grandpa who passed away in 2005. Also, it's so cool that your parents call your son Hong Doy because growing up, my Grandparent's nickname for me was Lan Doy!
    It's so great to see you making these videos that not only showcases these classic and traditional Cantonese dishes, but also goes into the history of it all as well. Watching these videos really puts a smile on my face and helps me remember my own roots and the dishes I loved so much growing up and still do. In fact, my mom just made Taro cake over the Lunar New Year last month. Her recipe is great as well but we want to try it the way your Dad makes it. Keep the videos coming Randy!

      Thanks so much Allen! It's an honor to do these videos and be able to capture not only the food, but also my parents stories and culture. So many memories in each dish for me. I hope that I will help my kids have many memories of family when they eat these in the future too. Thanks so much for taking the time to comment and share your story.

Love how your dad looks so proud at how he's passing on his skills and recipes to not just you guys, but other 2nd generation Chinese around the world. .... And so he should be
    I used to love watching and eating this when my po po made it. She passed away a few years back but whenever i eat this i always think back to those days.
    Btw, I'm 1st generation UK Chinese
    I've tried and failed once to make it but will make this in the near future.
    Also loved your salt pepper tofu video too.... Will be making that as well
    Thanks again!

    This recipe is real similar to the one my mom uses to make turnip cakes for New Year. Several years ago she taught me how to make it for my family and co-workers. I translated the recipe in English hoping to share it with others and preserve Mom's taste. Because of that, I totally understand and greatly respect what you're doing with this channel in preserving your father's recipes and knowledge while also spending quality time with your family and learning about their history and stories =)

Why should only we viewers have a good time - he's doing such a great job teaching and sharing his many years of experience. My heritage is very European but I love Chinese food and will definitely be making many of Daddy Lau's dishes. Thank-you!!

    My ex-wife, who is from Guongzhou, made this, but she used Chinese white radishes instead of turnips. It was delicious. Now I know how she did it. Edit: I got to the end of the video and maybe what she used was daikon radish.

    • @FarewelI

      It's originally used using Chinese turnip though. They're similar in shape and texture, albeit Chinese turnip grows better in different climates than daikon.

    • @MadeWithLau
      @MadeWithLau  Před 3 lety +2

      Thanks so much Kimberly! We are so grateful to you for watching and supporting another video. I think it likely does taste pretty similar. Much like how the Chinese turnip is similar in taste to the Japanese daikon, I'm guessing the Korean radish is also very similar. We need to do a side by side taste test in the future!

    Thanks for this! I've been through a few recipes, including my mom's recipe, and have been somewhat successful, but my texture is either too hard to too mushy. My mom's ratio is roughly 5 lbs of radish to 16oz of flour and I don't always get 5 lbs and I'm too lazy to do the math! I think using your site with the different measurements will help a lot with this! Great video as always!

Last Christmas was a Mexican feast with tamales, his Arrival Day this year was Hawaiian food, and for the dim sum meal, I used Daddy Lau’s Lo Mai Gai (which my son loves and which was both our favorite dish), turnip cake and Singapore noodle recipes. We also had guodze, chilled shrimp, miso marinated cod, and several different kinds of homemade pickles. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful family recipes with us and keep them coming for more non-turkey feasts!

Taro as Yam..Nice to see the same, being available and being loved over where you live.

      One might be able to use chayote / christophene / xuxu / choko as a substitute. It also has a mild and quite neutral taste like Chinese turnip. Here in Malaysia, we sometimes see this vegetable julienned and stir-fried with dried shrimps and that makes a great veggie dish.
