Made With Lau
@madewithlauAbout
π₯’Chinese recipes from our family to yours!π₯’ My dad, Chung Sun Lau, has been cooking Chinese food for over 50 years - as a teenager fending for himself in Guangzhou, as the head chef of his own restaurant in New York, and as a loving father in our home. And now that he is retired, Iβve made it my mission to share the hundreds of Chinese recipes and life stories stowed away in his head. Visit https://madewithlau.com for all of our recipes and blog posts! My dad was born & raised in Guangzhou, China, before eventually leaving his life behind and immigrating to New York in 1981, in pursuit of a better life for his future family. Following his father's footsteps, he opened a successful Chinese restaurant of his own a few years later. Subscribe for stories, techniques, & recipes that have been handed down in our family for generations. Whether you're a seasoned home cook or a novice in the world of Chinese cuisine, there is something here for everyone. [email protected]
