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!❤

As usual, a clear and concise preparation. Thanks for your channel and all the fun recipes.

[@sushyisama]

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

[@guil01234]

[@bgrainger3477]

Looks delicious! Thank you for this video. 👍👏

[@CubaMiAmor2010]

That looks so delicious. I wish I was in your house when you cook Chow Mein, because you’re making me hungry. ❤

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).

[@Thewoksoflife1]

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

[@mrfroopy]

No not ho fun.. just a bit wider than what you have there..

[@davidcarroll2035]

Love the tip of cooking the noodles on their own for a while before proceeding. Great video.

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 ❤👍☺

[@MarkAlbert]

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!

[@Thewoksoflife1]

Thanks, Mark!

[@SherriCohen]

You did such a good job I subscribed 🎉

[@Thewoksoflife1]

thank you Sherri!

[@kerryf9796]

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! ❤

[@Thewoksoflife1]

hehehe thank you, Kerry! 🤗

[@nerviceniles2272]

Delish! Thanks for sharing!

[@cindyclattenburg3822]

I love this. I’ll make it. Thanks

[@allinsonsherratt418]

Yum - noodles are the best. Love Singapore rice noodles too ❤❤❤ Great demo

[@Thewoksoflife1]

Thank you so much! :) Singapore noodles is one of our favorites too!

[@allinsonsherratt418]

@@Thewoksoflife1 - would love to see you make this. Please

[@eminemma]

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!

[@Thewoksoflife1]

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

[@johnpalmer5367]

Great video! I can see what I have been doing wrong.

[@perrybucsdad]

Looks great Bill! Any reason one could not substitute the chicken for pork tenderloin or beef if you wanted pork or beef chow mein?

[@Thewoksoflife1]

no problem! you can totally make that substitution!

[@albertoescamilla4523]

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.

[@scottfraser1758]

YUMMM!

[@majestic6303]

Can you use the fat chow mein noodles and cook it the same way. Or those noodles cooked a different way?

[@robinmanoogian8712]

So hard to find recipe !

[@kennethwu115]

A classic…just watched video for Mongolian Beef ❤

[@Thewoksoflife1]

Thanks, Kenneth! :)

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.

Lose the frenetic music. We are watching, trying to listen. If I want music I'll go to a music video or a club.

[@fionamcintosh4814]

Pls lower the music for next time. It's really not necessary. Thank you, God bless.

[@Thewoksoflife1]

thanks for the feedback! we're always trying to get the right audio balance, so will continue to finetune!
