RECIPE (2 servings)
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 small cabbage
5 green onions/spring onions
2 carrots
300g/11 oz noodles (preferably egg noodles)
4 tbsp oil
-sauce-
1.5 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce (regular or vegetarian)
3 cloves garlic grated
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsp water
METHOD:
1. Thinly slice cabbage, carrots and white part of the green onions/spring onions. Slice the green part into 2 inch thick pieces
2. Mix sauce ingredients in a bowl before hand. This will make it easier while stir frying
3. Boil water and cook noodles 2 mins less than the package instructions. The noodles will cook further while stir frying so it’s important to undercook them
4. Strain the noodles and dunk it into cold water or rinse them until they are cold. This helps making the noodles stop cooking immediately. Strain out excess water and coat in some oil to prevent it from sticking
5. Heat a wok/pan on high heat and add some oil. Add the carrots and stir fry for 1 min
6. Next add the cabbage and stir fry for 1 min
7. Next add the white part of green onion/spring onions and mix well
8. Spread the veggies around the wok/pan so they can get a light char. Once the veggies are done, set it aside
9. Next add some oil and stir fry the noodles for 2-3 mins on high heat. This enhances the taste and gives it a wok tossed flavour. Use chopsticks or tongs to mix the noodles so they don’t break
10. Once the noodles stir fried well, add the veggies and mix well
11. Pour in the sauce and stir fry for 2 mins. Taste and adjust salt if needed. Some noodle brands are saltier than others
12. Switch off the flame, add green part of green onions/spring onions and a few drops of sesame oil. Enjoy!
_______________________________________
SUBSTITUTES:
• No scallions/spring onions?
Substitute with 1 small regular onion
• No oyster sauce?
Add 1/2 tsp soy sauce + 1/2 tsp sugar
• No dark soy sauce?
Skip it. It’s mainly added for colour. Your noodles will be a lot lighter without it
_______________________________________
TIPS:
• It’s important to not add salt to the vegetables. If you add salt they’ll release too much water and turn soggy
• Stir frying veggies on high heat gives it a light char while keeping it crunchy at the same time
• Different brands of noodles have different levels of salt, adjust the sauce depending taste
• Use Chinese brands of sauces for an authentic taste. I use Lee kum kee sauces in this video - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

hello what brands of noodles you use?
hhhu bn 😮😊😊😅
We can also add capsicum.
I am 12 years old and wanted to show my parents that i can cook so thank you for this recipe
Good job
Perfect comment every content creator want to see 😊👩🍳
I'm gonna touch you
How was it?
that's nice , hope you washed your hands 😂
finally a good chow mein recipe. all i need to learn knife skills although i have the knifes but every time i chope i trade on some thin ice between chopping my vegetable or fingers.
But that’s the exciting part! Living life on the edge! 😛
Try curving your fingers more so that the knife will automatically slide off the middle phalanx and never reach the first tucked under. It takes some time to practice but it’s definitely worth it.
So you're putting too much of the 'blood' and not enough of the 'sweat' and 'tears' into it?
Use a mandolin
Ever thought of buying a julienne cutter? Makes short work of those carrots.
I made it tonight, hubby said it was delicious! You are a good teacher. I truly enjoyed!
You slice these veggies like a pro!
I absolutely love it!!! ✨👩🏻🍳🔪🥕🥬🧅✨
😋👍🏾👌🏾
As an American my favorite Chinese dishes are:
1. Shrimp and Lobster sauce, white rice
2. Rib Tips with soft wonton
3. House Special Rice, BBQ Ribs, Hoisin
4. Beef And Broccoli
5. Curry Chicken, white rice
Great video, thanks for the recipe! I love the peaceful music and no talking, because many cooking videos are very noisy and overstimulating.
I don't understand why you don't get views like seriously your recipes are perfect and tempting and videos are not only high quality but also give such an ASMR feeling, i love to hear the sounds. And honestly speaking and it's absolutely my point of view people like me don't like to watch those 20 mins-30 mins recipe videos and that too some people talking a looottttttt. And people like me are noobs at cooking we keep on rewinding even while doing an easy recipes so another reason for loving your content is the length of your videos. Everything is so perfect with your recipes, content, and video quality still so less views i don't understand this thing seriously. And btw I will try this recipe for sure, I have tried many of your recipes on special occasions like butter garlic chicken on 1st Jan 2021, then your easiest chilli chicken and that quick fried rice so I will definitely try this one too ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for being so sweet and kind 🥹❤️ I’m glad you enjoy my videos and find them helpful! Forever grateful for your support ❤️
This video has 2.4 millions of views!! 😮
Hello! Thanks. I just made this. The noodles turned out so basic and yummy. Perfectly cooked with the right bite and crunch. The sauce was flavourful and mild enough to be enjoyed by all ages. I personally yearned for a bit of a spicy kick so next time, I'll skip the sugar, add vinegar for tang, add sliced green chillies, incorporate chilli sauce or just cook the dish in a chilli oil base.
Was looking for an alternative to fried rice and this is it easy to knock together very tasty and goes with all meats !
I just tried this recipe, and I love it!
Just had this for tea, Delicious Thank You for the recipe.

let me tell you! IT.WAS.AMAZING!!!!! instead of normal cabbage, i used purple one and i didn't have oyster sauce so I used what you said but added some tiny amount of ketchup! the sauce turned out amazing!!???!!❤️
thank you sm!!💌
Can I ask which oil you used as cooking oil?
this is SO good thank you
just made this recipe to go with dinner. so good, and easy to follow. i didn’t have light soy sauce so i just used regular. I just quickly measured in my head as well, instead of using measuring equipment. I only wish i made double to have more noodles. i also used a little less vegetables because my kids don’t enjoy a lot of veggies in their chow mein. thank you for sharing this recipe
it really looks delicious.
