So much like take out, my mom asked me if it was. You gotta give this one a try! Happy Sunday!
Happy Sunday Flo and Dude ♥️
Please tell me a substitution for the wine! I can’t have alcohol!
@@MellieB514 Just omit it altogether, you'll be ok
I love Dude's reaction @13:35 "DUDE!.....So Good" 😂
🤣
YES!!! Hong Kong style is the best! Love the saucy chicken over crispy/chewy noodles.
You, my dear lovely lady (and The Dude) are so awesome for everything you show us! A cast iron skillet in the mix! WOOOT WOOOT!! Thanks for sharing your passion for amazing and delicious food!
Good to know that Dude actually prefers the noodles air fried, rather than pan fried. Thanx again for another amazing recipe. I love all the little bits of information and explanation you provide!
I just made the same noodle on frying pan Hawaii Chinese style “Cake noodles” ... press down and fry both sides , then cut into squares then pour sauce over top ! Thanks for the Airfryer technique ! Have a blessed Lord’s Day!
Two years ago- how did i miss this ? Looks delish
Hi Flo and Dude : you are my go-to YT channel for Asian recipes - I trust you and everything I've made turned out great!
You are FLO YUM!! Thank you!
While surfing the web, i came upon your wonderful and informative food channel! I made this channel my favorite, and am going back and watching every program of yours!!!
All of your recipes make my mouth water
This is such a wonderful idea , I have a AF but never thought I could do it this the A F to make it crispy, you do make life easier for everyone out there ... I am so grateful to you for sharing this wonderful simple recipe that can be make any days ! Thank you. !👏👍🙂🙏
One of the best youtube suggestion of the week ! Happy I discovered your channel, and couldn't resist to the subscribe button! Can't wait for more! ❤️😊
I wanna just share you a tip that, after boiling noodle, you probably put it into cold water then remove them out and let it dry. That help noodles not sticky and tougher. It will not be burnt and stick to pan when stir frying. :). That is the common method which cooks do. When you have noodles within broth, you probably do the same, to keep noodles warm, you just need to pour hot broth onto it after cooling. :)
I don’t know how I missed this recipe! We used to eat this all the time when I lived in Chicago. I see that someone else said the same thing. Now I know how to do it, so I’ll make them myself! Thanks Flo!
Hong Kong style Cantonese food is heavenly. One of the reasons Hong Kong beats NYC anyday.
My husband is from Los Angeles, and we moved to Maryland. He has been craving crispy noodles. We did finally find one Chinese restaurant that would make them special for us, but sadly they have closed. I am so happy to see your video so I can try my hand at making them at home. I am a pretty good cook, so I hope I'll have success. I also loved your videos on the pork belly and Chinese barbeque. I'm so happy to find your channel. I subscribed and hope to learn lots of secrets from you.
If you're near DC, try Tony Cheng in Chinatown.
Hi Flo, this is our favorite family dish when we go out. Thanks for doing this video, it will become our home made fav!
Thanx Team Flo for making another great Cantonese dish. Yummy
I should say, now that I am on the second recipe, I can't wait to try CRISPIEST CHOW MEIN. I am looking forward to enjoying your many Food Adventures.
That crunch! I’m sold. I HAVE to get an air fryer now.
Oven bake works quite well as well
I just got a air fryer. Still learning to cook with it. Tried 2 things turned out good
Thank you so much for your recipes I love your videos
Omg! Thanks for showing the air fryer!
Thank you for sharing. We love your recipes and the cooking lessons.
Thank you Flo. I am from San Francisco and was looking for that non crunchy chow mein recipe but I do like the Hong Kong style occasionally. May have it more often tho-now that it’s not deep fried. 😀 love your Chinese food recipes, simple ingredients and easy to prepare with a little help from the best kitchen gadgets!
can't wait for new cookbook have both of your others yum
Very nice, looks delish. This reminds me of when afterwork latenights we'd go down to the local chinese and get a big plate 🍜 of this. 😋😋😋
Love your recipes, simple yet delicious, easy to follow.
Thanks, Lily!
Flo! You make me so sad!
I wish I were your neighbor or Dude! You always make me so hungry!!!
You do give some very educational/informative tid bits like Hong Kong style.
I grew up in Hawaii and almost ALL Chinese restaurants serve crispy chow mein! That was normal chow mein to me.
Thank You ✌😚👌
💞💞💞💞💞
Thank you so much I will give this a try
I used to have that oil mister, and had the same experience. I've since purchased an Evo sprayer and like it a lot more. I plan on buying more to keep different types of oil on hand.
Looks really good! I think I will make some tomorrow. Will add baby bokchoy! Yum!
Applause to the chef
This Caucasian girl learned to make chow mien in 1989, when I was a young mom, from an elderly friend of mine, Mary Loo, that came to the US from China on a boat around 1950,. She gave birth to her first child on the way. She lived in the Chinatown of Locke in the California Delta. Your recipe is very similar. I have made it often throughout the years using fresh noodles from a local Chinese noodle factory. Fast forward to 2018 and I now live in Michoacán Mexico. No Chinese noodle factory to be found. I'll tell you how noodles come when they're not fresh. I buy them in the grocery store in the bigger city about 40 minutes from my home in a block of dried noodles. Surprisingly not awful. Much better then using spaghetti, which is what the local Chinese/Burrito joint in town uses. Nope, not good.
I was so happy to see you use the air fryer. I made chow mien last week and toyed with the idea of using the air fryer but chickened out. Next time I'm gonna do it. I just discovered your channel and have enjoyed the few videos I have watched so far.
Sound nice & crispy👍looks great🤗a must try😊 Thank You🥰
Can't really tell which is better without trying but lookwise the airfryer looks more yummier
Hi Flo - just came across your youtube a couple of weeks ago,, OMG - the best asian cooking I've seen - and you make things simple by not using too many incredients (well the sauces have lots, but that okay, cause I have most in my pantry) will make Char Sui Pork this week - luv you and Dude xxxx
It all looks so good. Wish there was smell a vision! Going to be trying some of your recipes. Mmmmmm
Catching up on some videos and my oh my does this look delicious. I've got to re-watch the beginning so I'll use the correct style noodles. It is fun to buy different kinds but then I forgot which noodle to use for which dish, haha. This will be great fun to try in the air fryer. Thank you for showing how both methods came out, that was thoughtful. You and Dude are the best team!
Loving this newly discovered channel for me since im located in Vancouver too. Learning all these recipes my mom usually makes❤
I’ve never seen chow mein served like this. I live in South Carolina and we are given veggies with whatever meat along with white rice and a small bag of deep fried noodles to put in it. I think I would prefer your way.
My mother also would have tanned my hide if I used metal utensils in her cast iron pans, lol.
Chicken Chow Mein is without a doubt by Favorite Asian dish!!!!!
Looks fantastic
One of my all time fave chow mien style ...
I really love your show. You do a great job of making me soo hungry. Lol love it. Thank you.
I have wonderful memories of a restaurant I worked in as a kid in North Sacramento. Of course they didn't have airfryers back in the sixties, so they fried the noodles in huge cakes on the flat frying griddle surface. I have since used the same pan-frying technique you displayed so wonderfully with the noodles. Then I cook the meat and veggies in a wok. In the end, I break up the noodles a bit, and then toss them into the wok and toss gently to coat. I agree, they won't be as crisp as your air-fried version, but the flavors of the carmelized noodles (and the oil!) make it divine. Thanks so much for sharing your recipes! Especially your childhood favorites like the pork patty and the custard with minced pork!
Thanks for sharing your wonderful memories and for your kind words, Humphrey!
I recommend getting yourself the Evo oil sprayer. Each pull of the trigger sprays 1/4 teaspoon of oil.
amazing crispy! 😋
Great video, as always. Thanks! Being from San Francisco, I want to mention that SF restaurants serve both soft and crispy chow mein, but you need to specifically order ‘jeen meen (煎麵)’ to get the crispy version. Furthermore, restaurants may have the deep-fried or air-fried versions that are crispy through-and-through (translated as ‘hard yellow’, when ordering) or the wok-fried version that is crispy on the surface and soft inside (translated as ‘soft yellow’ or ‘both sides yellow’, when ordering). Unfortunately, the deep-fried or air-fried version is better made at home because restaurants may pre-make their ‘hard yellow’ chow mein days in advance, so those noodles often taste a bit stale. The ‘both sides yellow’ (pan-fried) version has to be made on the spot, so it will be the fresher and tastier option, when ordered in a restaurant. The ‘both sides yellow’ version also tends to have some Maillard reaction (burnt bits), which adds great flavors.
Looks good Flo! I live in Hawaii and at the Chinese restaurants if we want the noodles crisp like that we order cake noodles. Hong Kong noodles here are dry thin noodles. I love that different places have variations in Chinese styles of cooking. My Gung Gung had a restaurant and taught me to make cake noodles. I think I prefer the air fryer method!! Less mess and less oil. Thanks for the tip. Love your videos, so mellow.
That is so interesting how different a dish can be depending on where you are. Looking forward to the day I will actually get to visit Hawaii! Aloha!
For those who can't find fresh chow mein noodles (although every Asian Grocery store in the world now carry them in the refrigerated section) you can use thin dried egg noodles. They used to be called Long Life Noodles and it was a tradition to give a packet to anyone having a birthday, especially when they are in heading into their 70's and 80's. You have to par boil them first. I saw in a recipe, the chef held the cooked noodles up to a fan to air dry them faster so the noodles wouldn't splatter in the oil but he used a lot of oil. I would've used paper towels. Air fryer is the way to go.
Excellent dish
Mmm my favourite noodle dish! Thanks for sharing. :)
I use an EVO sprayer from QVC, love it. When pan frying use peanut oil for authentic taste and higher heat in a wok. Most restaurants in the Bay Area you have to ask for HK style or crispy noodles, there maybe an extra charge. Your recipe is almost like mine, but with julienne ginger and snow peas or bok choy.
He did makes a good point , now a day I am @ the age that I really need to watch ... what I eat so I will go for the air fryer... Thank again for pass on a healthy choice . bless your heart 🥰❤👍
Tried crisping the noodles last night in the AF - Perfect, and your chicken recipe too (I sliced very fine, like in my local restaurant, and added Tinned shitake, super soft, sliced, ditto!).
Just purchased some chow mein. Will try it on the air fryer.
l agree with your husband l just mad it and wow so good keep up the grate work your food it the best better any Asian shop love your recipes they are grate thank you for sharing
It’s looks so yummy!! Want to try this one!
Fresno, California has the crisp noodles.
You had me hooked on the first recipe I watched! BBQ Pork Belly, WOW, Kapow. I bought your book then I bought the AirFryer. You are a very dangerous woman! I love you already. Thank you for sharing all this awesomeness. OH, I think I need a new apron, too. WooHoo!
Aw... you are too kind!
Love your recipes! Made this without the crispy noodles, as we are low carb. I know, that’s awful, however, this was a wonderful recipe to serve over some rice, when my husband commented again on another of your recipes… 😀 Thank you !
Hi Flo and dude, you two should have a cookery show on the Food network channel. Your both down to earth and very educational. Thank you.
I cooked it!! Simply awesome!
Yummy ❤ thank you for sharing Flo
My mom makes this. I so need to try this. THANK YOU SO MUCH FLO AND DUDE for creating this recipe for us. I’m so excited :)))
That dish does sounds like it is very delicious and Dude seem to enjoy it and love it more than the restaurant style and I have never eaten crispy ramen noodles before, but would try it.
Thank you Flo for another chinese delicacy. 😷👍
Looks oh so wonderful. Blessings to you both.
Thanks, Jan!
Looks and sounds yummy! I've never had Hong Kong style chow main. The Chinese restaurants here don't crisp the noodles - at least now the ones that I've been to. I think I would like Hong Kong style better. Not sure I believe you, Dude - "never been so hungry for The Taste". You always say your hungry! If I didn't know better, I'd think Flo doesn't feed you, but I guess it's just her cooking that makes you salivate! LOL 👍👍😀
🤣 Why should I be responsible for feeding him? He’s a grown-ass man that can find his own food to eat if he’s hungry. LOL!
THANK you for all your helpful videos . They make so hungry. Are chow mein noodles wheat or rice based?
Absolutely delicious! 😀😀
Oh had no idea you were local! I will go back and leave you a great Char Siu place on that video for Char Siu.
very good cooking
Today i learned about hongkongstyle noodles live in the bay area didnt know such noodles existed
Thank you!!👍👍
Chicagoland area: we call it Cantonese-style chow mein and then we get the pan fried noodles. So my fav is shrimp chow mein cantonese style.
That 's what I call it too since my Mum is Cantonese and make this quite often.
u can achieve the same effect with a Geoge Forman grill or a panini press
Pan fry then stick them in the air fryer for half time. 🤤
In NY (long Island) we have every type of noodle in our authentic Chinese restaurants (not the little Americanized places) Chow Mein, Lo Mein, Chow Fun, Mei Fun and more. Now I have to order this for lunch!
Love all those noodles!
@@FloLum I'm learning the differences. I google them before ordering so I remember what they are LOL
The description at the beginning 😍
😊 So yum!
I'm familiar with the Hong Kong style seafood low mein with scallops and shrimp. This is still delicious.
Never had it with crispy noodles - I have to try it.
Okay..... that’s what’s for dinner tonight. Thanks Flo!
Ha! Thanks, Linda!
Flo Lum Turns out didn’t make it yesterday because I was lazy to go to T&t. But we went today and got the exact chow mein you used. Also used airfryer. We all loved it!!!! The hubby said it tastes like restaurant quality!!!! I keep saying to him that without Flo we would have nothing to eat..... it would be spaghetti everyday. Thanks for giving our family so many new dishes to rotate with!
I made the same recipe the next day with ground beef and it’s just as good. Added more oyster sauce, soy sauce and sesame oil for more flavor.
Flo, just thought I’d share with you as I am not sure where you ate in San Francisco. But we had that at my parents’ restaurant in SF Chinatown. They did serve the noodles in a variety of ways and pan fried was one of them.
We lived in SF for 5 years. We learned that you had to ask for it panfried whereas in Vancouver, that is just how it is served.
Flo Lum that’s good to know because we do visit Vancouver every so often. Now that I live in New Hampshire, I have to ask for the pan fried noodles. Well, unless I make it at home. FYI we had your Tomato Beef over our pan fried noodles yesterday. They were delicious!
That's how I like chow mein
great dish!!
Thank you for showing us how to use fry pan versiin
OMG I am drooling... oh hi Flo, Dude and family .
🤣 Hey Myrna! 👋🏼
i like the your way. especially u r not used to much oil / lve it
Wow so yummy.....
I think pan fried would’ve have more flavor not everyone has an Air fryer I have one but seldom do I use it this looks delicious 😋
Hsi, i have been waching yr cooking and always cook with yr recipes but can u show us the cantonese rice noodles, tq for yr cookings😋
My misto does that too, and it’s new! It has also broken under the pump lid several times that I have glued because I can’t afford a new one. This is my second one that has done the same things.
I bought an oil mister in Dollarama. Its a year old and still working. If it fails I will just get another one for a buck. :)
Oh my goodness. Dude, watching your review of this dish...it was mouthwatering! I really enjoy watching you both and this channel. I am so glad I found your channel! I believe I will be checking out your cookbooks. Which cookbook is this recipe in? 👍 ~Sharon
Thanks so much, Sharon! You can find this recipe in Chinese Homestyle. Link is in the description.
So yummy!
vancouver represent!
Hello Flo
Now i know my next crispy dish .
Hope my family like it,my Kids i thing will love it.
Crispy noodels and super tasty chicken or beer.
Chapeu Flo.
Greetings from germany.
The air fryer version mostly dehydrates it back to what it was before boiling (crispy but flavourless). Strongly prefer the more authentic smoky wok version, both from texture and flavour perspective.
pan fry is my favourite, only because we dont have an af. btw good for you using norwex in the kitchen.
Hello, I have an oil mister like yours. In order to get the mister to spray, you have to periodically prime (pump) the mister😊. I love your videos.
Yep... but it’s clogged. Can’t get it clean enough to mist anymore.
