"Do you think you're me?" This roast so good it fed a whole family.

For any Cantonese parent to say they're proud is an achievement in itself. Well done randy!

"I'm so proud of you" the rarest asian praise from parent to child

.....could you do like a "basic pantry" video? as in like go over the "basics" you keep in your pantry all the time, and maybe even go into the "why" of each one (for instance why you would choose brand X bean paste, over brand Y, or brand Z, be it cost, or flavor, or what have you), i think that would be REALLY HELPFUL for anyone looking to try to make this kind of food regularly.

I have very fond memories of mapo tofu as a child. My grandmother swore a lot and one time while I was very young and impressionable when the whole family was out at a restaurant for dinner I cried out, "I really want Batt-po tofu" (literally translated as B*tch tofu). My parents were horrified, but my grandmother cracked up laughing and never stopped telling that story to people and teasing me about it even when I grew up to adulthood.

Every master was once a student. Randy, you'll get better and better over time. One day you'll be teaching your own kids how to cook.

There were so many times during the prepping that I thought Daddy Lau would just push Randy over and say, “Just let me do it.” Don’t worry, Randy, cooking is just like everything else. The more you cook, the more proficient you’ll be and in no time, you’ll be Jr. Daddy Lau!

All this time I thought gege Lau could cook. I teach culinary arts at Thurgood Marshall in SF. We just got a brand new kitchen and I would love to have you and your dad come by and demonstrate wok cookery if you both are amenable.

To get a good red color, you have to fry your doubanjiang or chili sauce in oil until it "blooms" and turns the oil red. About a minute on medium heat.
