Thank you for showing us how to prepare this delicious classic. None of the restaurants seem to offer Chicken Chow Mein Old Style or Wor Sue Gai/Almond Boneless Chicken anymore. I wish more restaurants would bring back these older great dishes.

[@ChineseCookingChannel]

I agree. I would gladly eat it in a Chinese restaurant but since I can't find it anywhere, every once in a while I have to make it when I have a craving for it. I'm not sure if you asked me to make the Wor Sue duck with almonds. I did inquire around in some old style Chinese restaurants but no one has heard of it. Now I'm also curious about the Wor Sue Chicken. Thanks for checking out my video.

This looks like a American/Canadian Chinese dish. Which doesn't make it bad. It actually looks pretty good. The preparation before adding in the noodles is like a "chop suey". Will try this.

[@ChineseCookingChannel]

Yes, old style North American chop suey. My grandfather's restaurant served the veggies as chop suey and adding noodles it became chow mein. Back then, they didn't have a great variety of vegetables so they used mostly nappa cabbage. Sometimes they used canned bamboo shoots and other ingredients. Thanks for checking out my video.

Our last old style restaurant closed. I think a lot of folks are retiring and the kids aren't carrying on. We still have some "new" Chinese restaurants but I miss some of the old comfort foods. Good video, thanks

[@ChineseCookingChannel]

I agree. It's a sad reality. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Thanks for checking out my video.
