🎉🎉 AHHH we just won the Silver Spotlight in ’s Reasons to be Profitable Contest! It’s been a wild ride building this incredible community with you all and we’re so proud that our mission to preserve and celebrate Cantonese cuisine resonated with Relay and the judging committee (6000+ small businesses applied!)
Thank you to Relay and the judges (Mike Michalowicz, Lisa Carmen Wang, Ron Saharyan, Elaine Pofeldt, and Brian Thompson) for believing in us and amplifying our mission.
We posted our first recipe on September 1st, 2020 and I couldn’t imagine how much our lives would change. We’re just getting started and we can’t wait to share even more with you in 2024 and beyond.
Dive into Steamed Salmon (蒸三文魚) with us in Daddy Lau’s latest recipe! 🐟
While steaming might not be the first method many choose when cooking their fish, we think it deserves recognition — especially given how common it is in Cantonese cooking. Steaming preserves the fish’s natural deliciousness by not overwhelming it with sauces and rich marinade and, best of all, it’s not yeet hay! 😋

The word "potsticker" comes from the Chinese word "wotip (鍋貼)", which literally means "pot stick". Generally, wotip refers to pan fried dumplings, and this is just one of the thousands of varieties of dumplings found in cuisines all across the world. Even just in Chinese cuisine, you'll find dumplings with savory or sweet fillings, prepared in all sorts of methods like baking, frying, or steaming.

Chinese BBQ Spare Ribs (燒排骨) -- The name of this dish is siu paai gwat. Siu means “roast”, and just like caa siu or siu juk (or Crispy Pork Belly), BBQ Spare Ribs belongs to the epic family of siu mei, which means Cantonese-style roasted meats. Traditionally, these meats were painstakingly roasted on spits and open fires, but nowadays, it’s impossible to walk through a Chinatown without running into a Chinese BBQ shop with dozens of delicious roasted meats hanging by the window.

Bok Choy Soup: this is a super simple recipe that my parents make multiple times a week.
Also, it's a really flexible dish! After you’ve cooked it, we can keep the bok choy in the soup and eat it as is. Or, often what we’ll do is scoop the bok choy out, drink the soup, and eat the bok choy separately.
