Now you did it!! This recipe and video pushed me over the line !! I can't stand it anymore !! Got to close in a section of my porch to keep out the critters and get set up for a Blackstone Flat Top . Hopefully the family will back me up. Thank you for sharing with us. Fred.
Awesome!!!! Great for first time! Lacked a couple of the spices which I will have for the next time. Thanks for your fine video and explaining how to prepare your meals.
Neal, I love your take on "Everything Lo Mein"! And the egg rolls, Oh man! I don't have the BS Air Fryer Combo, but I have an air fryer...you can bet I'll be trying them in that. And I also love Amy's hand "swooping" in to take the piece of steak...I very much enjoy watching your videos! Thank you!
Dang brother you’re making my mouth watering that looks so delicious that sauce you pour over that mein is it French dip ajus? Them rolls looks tasty can’t wait to try thanks for sharing blessing gave you a thumbs up just subscribed to your channel after watching this video mmmm yummy can’t wait?
Finally tried your Lo Mein recipe... it came out wonderful. When I replace my Blackstone (when I get my outside kitchen... hopefully next summer) I will get a Blackstone with the air fryer. Thanks again for a great recipe.
There are some studies on what is called "resistant starch". You cook the noodles then refrigerate them, somehow the reaction of the starch when refrigerated overnight and re-heated causes it to be digested differently (can't pinpoint that exactly). So, it slows the carbs enough to reduce the absorption. Diabetics are using this with some success. It also works for rice and potatoes, for some. I'm diabetic and I've found it works for me (through blood glucose checks) with potatoes and pasta, not so much with rice. Otherwise, I just add a few noodles to my stir fries and lots of veggies. Also, I had help from a Japanese woman in an Asian market regarding dark soy sauce. She recommended a brand totally unlike what you have, it's much thicker and there is a pretty substantial taste difference.
I’m with you on Lo Mein. It’s one of my favorites, especially the shrimp, pork and beef combo Lo Mein. For sauce, we use something found locally called Tsumi. Outstanding. I also like to mix in a bit extra of Mae Ploy brand of sweet chili sauce and wasabi when I plate it for myself.
Thanks for your awesome videos!! I got a small and and big Blackstone. Considering a Pit Boss...when would I use the Blackstone and when would I use the Pit Boss? Trying to convince my wife Wendy 😊
Good thing is I have plenty of videos combining the two...I also started another channel called Pellets and Pits because of the support of the smoking side..
Dude!!! Every time we get Chinese take-out my number one order is lo mein!! And my sides are always egg rolls and crab rangoon, so cream cheese makes so much sense to me here!! Everything looked 🔥🔥🔥 bro!!!
Thank you for sharing! Dark soy sauce is for color (and flavor) but isn't as salty as regular soy sauce. As far as egg rolls go I say put whatever you like! Takeout is American food with Chinese influence and it's great! Not as healthy as authentic Chinese but it hits the spot!
@@TheFlatTopKing My parents used it for braising pork or my favorite dish Soy Sauce Chicken. Sometimes in rice noodle dishes. I actually looked up the sodium content and just realized it's higher in sodium than light or regular. That's crazy to me because it tastes less salty. It must be masked by the mild sweetness in the sauce.
Great cook. The thing I like about these kind of dishes is the ingredients can be changed with every cook depending on what your mood is AND by what's available to you. As I was watching this I was thinking some sugar snap peas mushroom slices would be nice. If one could get some Thai basil that would be a interesting ingredient. Anyway sure hope to see you get some nice heaters some day. I was getting cold just watching you cook. May you and your family have a great day Sir. 🌤 😀👍🔥
That looks great. I always love getting the combo noodles when I go out, never seems economical to make it at home. But I don't cook for a family so my scale is a bit different. Not sure I trust my seasoning with noodles yet. If its like cast iron, noodles stick a lot more than meats and veggies do. A dozen more cooks and I may give it a try, don't want to have to start from scratch and re-season it by stripping it with a cook my griddle top wasn't ready for. Edit to add, I think the char you talked about in the end may be key. In wok cooking they go for that its called wok hei or breath of the wok, its hard to get off commercial ranges due to the high heat requirements but it looks like you can fake it a bit by letting it sit. I may watch too many cooking shows.
Well did you know I got rid of it... if not we sold it about 6 months ago.. alot of thought went into it... I built a bigger deck for family...then had to many grills or smokers...I was cooking on a charcoal. pellet and three griddles...something had to give..after doing our own pros and cons the camp chef lost... we have to move a ton just to film...the camp chef was hard to move and the surface was the same as the blackstone...the pit boss was new and had the ceramic coated surface..just completely different griddles... I aslo had planned on typically buying a new griddle a year to try out and cook on...so if I do that no way i would have enough room..... Weber just teased a new griddle....thats on my bucket list this year
Chinese restaurants in New England serve a very dark colored fried rice because of dark soy sauce. Maybe because its what I grew up with but it's the best fried rice I've had and I have eaten it many places in the US and Asia.
I think the brand Kikkoman is common when thinking about soy sauce...which once you try others you realize there is a HUGE difference...not saying good or bad..but you can see why different soys can make or break it...
Ok kool, I don't think I tried that style....I was stationed on Guam at the no longer Naval Air Station n the mess hall had a lot of Filipino cooks who couldn't cook anything Mexican 😳.....now I live here in McAllen, Texas full of Mexican restaurants n there are some Filipino families living here....one Filipino restaurant here in town but it doesn't taste the same....
Hey guys, I did Yakisoba (Japanese noodle, kind of like Lo Mein, but with a different flavor profile) last night on the Sierra. We went heavy on the veggies, used cole slaw shreds for the cabbage plus bean sprouts, so that it looked like we were getting a lot of noodles but were in fact getting a ton of veggies instead. Tasted great. I’d love to see your take on that some day.
I could be wrong but I dont think you can just buy the griddle plate...i honestly dont know...I would aslo not know if it fits other griddles..good questions
I live in the other South. South Dakota. Where we get COLD!!! 🥶 Any suggestions on how to keep your stuff unfrozen? I cook in my heated garage. Ik that's a big no no. But I leave my big door 1/2 open so I have good air flow. I've only had my 17" Blackstone for a few months. So this will be my first winter with it. Thanks in advance for any help.😊
We tried your cream cheese and egg rolls it was pretty good I got one for you to try take some hamburger some fresh roasted and some fresh grated cheese
I was watching you do the eggroll and was wondering if mixing the cream cheese with the filling and have it as one thing to put in the eggroll would work. My only thought against that is if have too much cream cheese in there, would it increase the chances of it oozing out while frying
Shoot, thats a 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 looking dish there Brotha ✊🏼🧐! I curious about the eggroll recipe. Im going to try adding the cream cheese now. I also love the “philly rolls”, but my go to is dragon rolls. Was this the cook that caused the hose issue may i ask? Anywho, another banger episode…cheers y’all 👊🏼😎🤙🏼
yes this was the cook...after cleaning...Amy heard the gas leaking...the rest is history..of course we couldn't hear because how loud the air fryers are
The English name for it seems to vary so much by region. West coast USA its called chow mein which apparently translates to stir fired noodles, at least according to Kenji Lopez. Enough east in the USA its called lo mein, I guess per you over where you live its just a stir fry. I have no idea why that bothered me so much when I lived on the East Coast, I was like its chow mein dammit. was young and dumb i guess.
ahhhaha You know at out local Chinese restaurants they chow mein is crunchy noodles...the lo mein is soft...after lookin it up before I commented...I noticed your right...chow mein has soft egg style noodles as well......very interesting..for sure
That's a mondo stir fry! As pointed out, dark soy is used for color, but it does add a subtle flavor. Play with Fish sauce if you haven't. The smell does not equate to the flavor profile.
Dark soy sauce is thicker and sweeter (probably why I like it better) and used more in Cantonese cuisine than other Chinese regions. Its ideal for braising and as you said, imparts that dark rich color and flavor. Although it's ok, don't get Kikkoman. I got something like Kimlee (can't remember), but lately can't get it at all. The soy sauce shelves are bare in the Asian sections here. Something about supply chain issues. So I just use Hoisin sauce in place of it. For some reason, that's still available!
Go to the local Asian market and tell them that the only difference between dark soy sauce and regular is the color. They will educate you (or maybe just laugh)
This looks as good as or better than any "authentic" Chinese recipe I have ever seen, ordered or made myself. What is it about Navy cooks? I have a friend whose son was a Navy cook and was offered a job as a chef at the White House! Of course, he accepted. My friend got to go to the White House one day and have dinner with the President!
WOW....I have heard of either another brand or method and said that it subtle and not sharp like kikkoman...mellow and balanced...I was thinking about buying it to see but it sounds similar to yours..thanks
@@TheFlatTopKing There are all sorts we see at our local HMart, a large Korean grocery, some definitely are different, like sweet vs. regular soy sauce. Oh, something I picked up from an "Uncle Roger" video, try adding fish sauce to soup. Big taste difference, a little goes a long way.
I always feel bad for your wife not getting her fair bites in. Give the woman a fork with a bit of everything woulda ya (all noodles and 1 piece of onion). 😁
Hey , Navy also. "75-81" Your Beautiful Camera person needs to zoom out a little bit to give US a better perspective of your Cooking skills. Just my option. Thanks my Navy Brother.. VP56, NAS JAX
Bro, your hillbilly egg rolls looked great to me. In fact, the entire meal looked good. Heck, you should see the redneck fried rice I turn out and then you would understand I am on your side, cream cheese and breakfast sausage and all! Keep up the good work. Oh and by the way, I think the dark soy is more about the color of the sauce. Maybe slightly richer when evaporated into the food as well. Like you, I am not an expert.
Still love this recipie

There are some studies on what is called "resistant starch". You cook the noodles then refrigerate them, somehow the reaction of the starch when refrigerated overnight and re-heated causes it to be digested differently (can't pinpoint that exactly). So, it slows the carbs enough to reduce the absorption. Diabetics are using this with some success. It also works for rice and potatoes, for some. I'm diabetic and I've found it works for me (through blood glucose checks) with potatoes and pasta, not so much with rice. Otherwise, I just add a few noodles to my stir fries and lots of veggies. Also, I had help from a Japanese woman in an Asian market regarding dark soy sauce. She recommended a brand totally unlike what you have, it's much thicker and there is a pretty substantial taste difference.

Hello my friend
That’s what I call a stir fry 🇬🇧👍🏻🍗🍤

good idea...
add a half teaspoon of baking soda to your beef and massage it in about 3 hrs before cooking. it will make it very tender
