[@LawofMoses]

Have you done an episode of the American chop suey? Apparently, it is not a Chinese original? Peace, Jason

[@joffff]

Yes please to seeing a traditional chow mein recipe! Also thanks for clarifying the difference between Lo Mein and Chow Mein 👍

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Noted! and you're welcome, it amaizng you asked too because most people won't which means chances of it getting done get slimmer

[@oldbootneck]

I'll add to that, always interested to see more original (non-westernised) dishes for comparison. To be honest, comments or not, I reckon most people would be interested because Chin and Choo are doing it.

[@milkyway9187]

I love your mums humour helps me with my slight depression.

[@IamJaneS]

Australia here. I've only ever had crunchy noodles with Chow Mein, but that looks super delicious! I'd leave out the bell peppers because to me they are disgusting, but it really looked good. As for the MSG debate, I believed all the hype about it for a very long time. Then I learned to cook with it. An Asian work colleague told me to start small and work up from that to get the desired result. Flavour explosion!!!!!! I believe I've perfected the exact amount for the Asian dish I'm cooking because the end result is absolutely superb. WAY better than what I'd make pre MSG days.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Thanks and the myths on MSG have all been massively debunked now, to the point there are psychological studies on why people believe the myths even though the experts and medical community all agree it safer than salt, fat and sugar 😊😊😊

[@tarynstephens9606]

Ooohhh, that looks so delicious!!! Those noodles really are the best, I've tried many, but the noodles you sell are my favourite by far!! I once had a dish of thinly sliced crispy chicken with a salty chilli oil type sauce that had fermented black beans in it. Maybe you could show us how to make that?

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Do you remember the same of it, because that sauce could be a few different sauces

[@rachel4558]

Loving your videos 😊

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Thank you!! 😊 and thanks for commenting as it helps boost our video :)

[@tatoemonkey]

This looks incredible definitely making this one. Cooking off the soy on the noodles is a game changer I learned this from another one of your videos and its wow! I need to buy a new wok any suggestions?

Glad we could help and the one we use in our videos can be found here www.linktree.com/ziangs

Just saying hello from Cape Town, please come and visit. Our local take aways don't have that UK flavour ! Thanks for this one, I love veg.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Yeah I think it’s because they all bought into the MSG myths

[@marksheeran1717]

It's been a while since we last had a vegetable chow main. Looks so good I will be making that. With the weather being so cold here in the North UK we have been having more soups and stews, but hopefully the milder weather is on the way 👌

[@SharonMushtaq-ns7uq]

Hi only came across you both few weeks ago ago, wish I’d seen it earlier. Veg chow me in my favourite.

[@amberroberts9625]

I made this for my family today. Everyone loved it. What soy sauce would you recommend that is vegan friendly. Thank you.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Lee kum kee is our favourite brand

[@mjq1602]

Hi great video. Love all your vids. Question. I bought the lucky boat noodles medium. It says on packet to simmer for 7 minutes, however you say 4 minutes? Maybe I didn’t do them long enough as they were a bit chewy/aldente.

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

Do not listen to the packet :) they will Over cook

[@professionalidiots101]

I love the smokey flavour of chow mein. Many years ago before I got into KZbin I thought it was added somehow. For years I looked for the proverbial rocking horse poo, then I found out it was simply the cooking method 🤦🏻 Great job 👍🏻

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

yeah its so simple when you know how :) and thanks for the comment :)

[@alexandermiddlehurst6312]

Fantastic! My chow mein always seems a little dry, you've sorted this in the video... not enough oil! Plus, I got those bowls aswell !😁

[@ZiangsFoodWorkshop]

yes common mistake, the more oil the better for a dry chow mein :)

Looks great as always. There’s a few you haven’t done that are quite popular in Scotland that I’d like to see but maybe they’re not a thing dan sarf - chicken and cashew nut, chicken and bean sprouts, side dish of chow mein noodles (usually the fine noodles with not much else), kung pao (maybe you’ve done this actually?). Anyway keep them coming guys 👍🏻
