I've made this exact dish from this video/recipe about 3 times now and it gets better every time! Love this recipe - very easy to make and a huge crowd pleaser
Eye love your website and video lessons. I worked for a Chinese family for many years and all of The Woks of LIfe is truthful, honest and cares about you.
So growing up on the east coast we had noodles like this,, not crisped at all and thicker in restaurants and it was called Lo Mein. When I moved to the west coast the same thing including the wider noodles was called Chow Mein. What I had always called Chow Mein was what is known as American Chow mein now. (it is an American Dish).
there's a lot of treating "chow mein" too much like lo mein and that's why we made this video! ho fun is a thicker wide rice noodle too which sounds to us like the last dish you described
Your brilliant recipe looks like a genuine keeper for yummy noodles & healthy meat & veges. I like thinly sliced chicken best & your video is a game changer & now my fav go to recipe ❤👍☺
This looks AMAZING and I MUST make this soon!!! The Chinese restaurants here in New Jersey serve "Chow Mein" that is a mixture of soggy vegetables and a bland clear-ish sauce that comes with a side of deep fried noodles. YUCK!!!! So THANK YOU for clearing this up!!! P.S. I still wish I could be adopted into this family! ❤
For me as a Westerner, the huge variety of noodles available at Asian grocery stores continues to be utterly confusing. Thanks for helping me to understand Chow Mein and Hong Kong style noodles. Will surely try this recipe soon!
Yummy! My grandpa always made us the crispy version shown here and we would always order the pan fried with a crispy noodle "disk" (like liang mian huang) at restaurants. Figuring out the difference in names between these and lo mein was so confusing for me before!
So it was mentioned that 4oz of dried is equal to 8oz of fresh. Does this apply to other forms of dried Asian style noodles. Dry would keep better in my lifestyle currently but I don't want to be being fresh so often and eating it go bad if I don't get to it. I also don't want to make way too much per the recipes either lol. Since it's only two of us.
Good to see Woks of Life again. I used to have email recipes sent to me in the early 2000's but lost track. I remember making your tom yum soup and it was amazing. Roger.

As usual, a clear and concise preparation. Thanks for your channel and all the fun recipes.
Thank you so much for the recipe! I can’t wait to make it! Hey, I love the jazz music at the end, being as I’m a jazz nut!❤
Love how you explain everything!!!!! And by the way, I DO NOT FIND YOUR MUSIC ANNOYING!!!😘
Love the tip of cooking the noodles on their own for a while before proceeding. Great video.
That looks so delicious. I wish I was in your house when you cook Chow Mein, because you’re making me hungry. ❤

Yum - noodles are the best.
Love Singapore rice noodles too ❤❤❤
Great demo
Thank you so much! :) Singapore noodles is one of our favorites too!
@@Thewoksoflife1 - would love to see you make this. Please
Great video! I can see what I have been doing wrong.

It really is confusing for anyone, let alone a Chinese American person!

Can you use the fat chow mein noodles and cook it the same way. Or those noodles cooked a different way?
Looks great Bill! Any reason one could not substitute the chicken for pork tenderloin or beef if you wanted pork or beef chow mein?
no problem! you can totally make that substitution!
So hard to find recipe !
A classic…just watched video for Mongolian Beef ❤
Thanks, Kenneth! :)
