About

๐ŸฅขChinese recipes from our family to yours!๐Ÿฅข 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, Iโ€™ve 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]
