Thank you for joining me. Today I will be preparing one of my favorite sandwiches. The St. Paul sandwich.. subscribe to my channel and like me on social media..
my daughter lives in St. Louis , I have a St. Paul sandwich everytime we visit her. I have never had a sandwich that just makes me any happier !! That is the best sandwich that I have ever had !! Unbelievably delicious !!
Plain St. Paul sandwich is my favorite with hot braised chicken, half order of plain fried rice (bean sprouts, scallions, onions, scrambled egg, dark soy sauce), crab rgoons/egg rolls and strawberry Vess Soda. !! Any place off Natural Bridge or North Grand (not trying to endorse any specific places lol)
Out of St Louis after 20 years. Living in Dallas now, craving that Special St Paul Sandwich. Decided to see if anyone had posted the recipe and YASSSSS! Found it! Going to get the rest of my ingredients now! Can't wait!
You are correct about if you cant get it to learn to do it yourself, but where are the Bean sprouts?? shout-out to All the Chop Suey places on Grand, Natural Bridge and Newstead.
Lil Joe West side just moved been making this recipe forever my State st.louis currently living in clairton PA fave Chinese spot South kingshighway and Chippewa shopping center old skool china
I have these jokers almost every week. Since I started making them at home, I never buy them from the rice house. I do two eggs per sandwich. Tripe is another one I've mastered. Great job Chef
Miss the St. Paul sandwich of Saint Louis while I'm in Chicago! I do believe the classic ones only have onions and pickles on them! I've never been to an inner city Chinese spot in STL that served them with lettuce or tomatoes but your creation still made my mouth water! Thanks for posting! I was researching the best method to recreate them! The baking powder is probably the key! Thanks again!
I am from North Saint Louis.... 19th Street. The Saint Paul sandwiches I use to eat came from the restaurant on Grand across from the Schnucks and the park. I try to explain it to people elsewhere and they just don't understand. I live in Muncie, Indiana now. Thanks for the video!!!!
I watched this video one time years ago and today I have a taste for a St. Paul sandwich and came looking for your video. I came across a lot of other ones, but I had to come back to this video specifically.
Watching this while I make my first pho with omasum. I made the broth from beef bone and beef feet (cut up beef feet) and chuck ribs. Toasted the onion and ginger on broil, the whole 9 yards. There's a latin market near me that sells everything from burnt goat heads to frog's legs, to conch, to brains.
South side park ave !!!! Man I've been geeking tryna make rice and Saint Paul's, good video man will comment again once I've tried the recipe, don't forget about them ham Saint Paul's tho!
I'm living away from St. Louis, and St. Paul sandwiches and St. Louis style fried rice are two things I really miss. If your arteries don't clog you ain't makin' it right. I used to get them at House of Chu, which was on Delmar, just east of the Delmar Loop. Place probably not there anymore, because the old chinese guy that ran it was old back in the late '70's and early '80's when I was old enough to drive there and get it. I was from further east, kinda near St. Luke's hospital. That might not be there anymore either. I was born in that hospital, and I think I could smell the St. Paul sandwiches cooking down the street from that day forward. You born or grew up in St. Louis, you know you gotta have it.
I grew up in St. Louis. One of our friends, C. C., would get sent on food runs by his mother. In that part of St. Louis, everyone, and I mean everyone, called the Chinese takeout restaurants, the "China man." It means Chinese takeout in the community there. And it is all you had to say. C. C. would typically order shrimp fried rice topped with egg foo young gravy (you had to have the gravy or the fried rice was too dry). He would order a duck leg and a "special "St. Paul sandwich which came with a little of seemingly every kind of meat: ham, shrimp, beef, chicken. Those were the days. The thing is, I can't remember when we started eating egg foo young on bread--it just happened. And it was just plain sliced white bread, not even toasted. Sometimes, maybe most of the time, it was wrapped in wax paper. The place we went to the most was at or near the corner of Pennsylvania and Page. I have no idea what happened to this restaurant, and for all I know it is still there. Another place was located on Olive in University City. It is called Chong Wah, and is still open for business. Anyway, I enjoyed your video. Update! The place on Page at Pennsylvania is still there. It is called Chung's Chop Suey and is cattie-corner form a Popeyes Chicken. Chung's Chop Suey is an odd old building, made entirely of cinder block, and white-washed. The back of the restaurant faces page; so you can't see the front entry from the street. It used to have a rotating, plexiglass lazy-susan kind of food delivery system which was see-through. No chairs, no tables--just order and go. Lots of these in St. Louis.
London and Sons on Grand used to have the best tripe sandwich’s in the early 2000 I wonder who has the good ones these days👀I’ve been in KC for 3.5 years and I go home often and pig out on alll the hometown favs😋
Thank You Sir, I'm in San Antonio, and I can't believe they've NEVER heard of it, dearly love them, and decided to see if I can find a recipe. I'm from Alton IL and I traveled to STL for Chinese food
Chef James Show I used Just Egg, then onion (red, yellow and green), green bell peppers, and oyster mushrooms. So good that I made another one tonight. Going vegan this was one thing I've been missing, not anymore!
I love St. Paul's!! NORTH county actually does have some spots with really good St. Paul's not just the city. I like bean sprouts in mines though. ☺ but I must say they are delicious. Lol
I'm from st Louis and moved to Portland... No good Chinese up there. Their rice too yellow. Nobody knows what we are talking about when we say good Chinese!
I'm doing the same thing in Lincoln, Nebraska. I've got to the chinese food cooking St. Louis style rice and I'm putting together the St. Paul with some egg foo yung from another place. I know exactly what you're talking about. Also, friend let them Cowgirls go! 🙂
No, he said he's from St Louis. So am I and I remember these very well. I live in Cleveland Ohio now and I miss our Chinese food from St Louis. I don't feel like they know what good Chinese food is here so I've been finding recipes and making things myself. I never could figure out why people from Cleveland thought East st. Louis was in St Louis until I moved here and found out they have an East Cleveland that's in Cleveland. I had to explain to them that East Saint Louis is in Illinois.
Im from stl the Southside an i moved to Omaha Ne almost 4 years now ...I swear when i asked do yall sell saint paul sandwiches they look at me crazy are say whats that lhh😁😁😁...But i been missing it an trying to mke 1 i was wondering cud i use baking soda in it
Yesss! I am from Stl and currently living in Phoenix. My first stop everytime I get there...Chinese food with a Vess soda or Mystic!
EXACTLY!! You hit the nail on the head!! We do have the best!! 👍👍
Where is a good place to get Egg Foo Young? I am in Phoenix too???
Way to rep the Lou. But...St. Paul got to have the bean sprouts.
Nick Curlett you everywhere man!!! Lol yea he missed the bean sprouts
So true Nick!! The Sprouts make the sandwich!! He must have forgotten!! 😄
Absolutely
That's the only thing he missed was the bean sprouts
Thats true Nick,...I'm not a big bean sprout fan but in this sandwich, it works well.
yup they are good, ive been telling ppl up here in canada about them and they all think im crazy..lol...i gotta make some
I'm from East Boogie and I agree with you about the Saint Paul sandwiches. They are pure delicious. Excellent demonstration video.

my daughter lives in St. Louis , I have a St. Paul sandwich everytime we visit her. I have never had a sandwich that just makes me any happier !! That is the best sandwich that I have ever had !! Unbelievably delicious !!
U can always ask for egg fu yung without gravy. Take it home and make ur own sandwich
Pork steaks are another thing that is uniquely St. Louis. And, yeah, thanks so much for this recipe.
I'm from North St. Louis, and I give you nothing, but respect for making this video! 👍👍👏👏
Looking good James. Where the bean sprouts at tho.
I'm from Normandy & I tip my hat to you, sir. 😋
Nice job man....I'm here in the Lou and yes, gotta be Vess soda...I'll go with Black Cherry

They turned out really good also put cornstarch in too
Yes Sir. From the Lou, also in H-town. My favorite is Ham St. Paul. Could you do video on Tripe Sandwich, please ?
Yes there one on here also
I haven't found one place here in Houston equivalent to our chinese food spots I'm on the hunt!
I'm doing the same thing in Lincoln, Nebraska. I've got to the chinese food cooking St. Louis style rice and I'm putting together the St. Paul with some egg foo yung from another place. I know exactly what you're talking about. Also, friend let them Cowgirls go! 🙂
We do have the best Chinese food! It does look delicious, but James; why did you leave out the bean sprouts?
Wheres the bean sprouts? Egg fu yung without gravy. One other suggestion use a ladle. Good luck!
E.side up(east of st. Louis that is) in here with bean sprouts I never had it with all them meats. I came so I can make one thanks

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Stl Jennings!!!
Man I miss home definitely a STL staple. Iykyk!!!
Yummy
You Repped the Lou Cuzzo but Bruh you have to top it off with some Duck Sauce.
can I add the bean sprouts to the beaten egg or separate with the meat and can I use self rising flour instead of baking powder
Baking powder is best to use. Boil bean sprouts for 1min exact, set aside then add to st. Paul mix
I use cornstarch, actually
