For everyone asking why there is no salt: Soy sauce gives the dish the saltiness! Edit: You can add garlic and ginger to this also.

[@tomasty1908]

Does Umami help it at all? Or is it covered with the sugar and the soy? Great video! Best regards from Chile!

[@solarisdreamz]

It in fact doesn't mean "fried noodle". Chow means stir fried and mein ofcourse means noodle.

[@MrFuckme2009]

I am wondering is it hot fire or a Electric stove ?

[@kuro2797]

Wait, people have actually been asking that? Ha

[@flashy5150]

I wish you could be with me to tell my mother and friends that “ WE DON’T NEED TO BOIL NOODLES !”😉 I realized this myself, if you accidentally drop a dry noodle in a puddle of water on your counter, you will come back a while later and you will see that the noodle has gotten soft and sucked up the water. So why boil noodles ?? They always continue to cook after taken off the heat, which ends up making them too soft. Intake a pot of hot water out of the tap, throw the noodles in it while I cook the rest of the dish, then by the time that I’m done cooking, the noodles are ready to be drained and thrown on top of my dish and mixed in. I love this recipe for chow mien the best on KZbin. The technique and marinade recipe this man is using is just perfect. 👍👍👍👍

[@SchoolofWok]

Funnily enough I've noticed that some noodle brands that previously said you needed to boil them have changed their method on the packaging to say you just need to soak them in hot water now - Chris

[@flashy5150]

@@SchoolofWok Ha, ha, glad to here that. It’s really hard to get an accurate softness to noodles when under heat on a stove. Like I said, they continue cooking after they’re taken off the heat. I think soaking them in hot water, then letting the water cool , so they are quitting the cooking gradually. I just made some on Sunday for my chow mein and they are perfect. Cheers

Best stir fry my wife and I have ever made. Thank you for sharing your techniques and recipe with us. You are a true Star Chef! On a side note: had a little amount of uncooked chicken thigh left (I prepared too much). Whipped up some of that stir fry sauce real quick, stir fried the chicken till mostly done, and finally added that sauce. Wow! Kinda made a charred flavor chicken. Possible a little bourbon would have made it similar to Bourbon Chicken. Again thanks!

[@anthonyluebbert9974]

You might want to mention in future videos, that you're using a carbon steel wok. A cast iron wok, Like I own, will cause s--t to go sideways in a hurry if it's "smoking hot" which you seem so dead set on. The problem is 'cast iron' (while a fine wok) doesn't transfer heat like carbon steel, and does not develop a smoky flavor, that is added to foods as it seasons with use. Smoking Hot in my iron wok, turned the ginger and garlic to a sticky black mess. Be aware of the pan you are using and its reaction to high temperatures. Now, concerning your videos, I love them! I enjoy watching you cook and have chose several of your recipes. You certainly know what you're doing. For us amateurs though, you might want to add some additional details. Cheers!

[@SchoolofWok]

We will take this into consideration in future videos! Thanks! - Lee

[@anthonyluebbert9974]

I thought it prudent that I should apologize (rookie stir fry cook that I am) for being a bit harsh perhaps. The ginger I was using is not fresh, its paste from a jar. So, in fairness to you, the ginger it seems (paste) caramelizes at any temperature, I found. However, I do have to cook on a lower heat with the cast iron Wok, which is a fine wok. I am getting a carbon steel wok in February, however, and will try it to see how it fares. I really enjoy your videos by the way. Cheers!

[@griseldaguerrero7199]

I added a tablespoon of fermented black beans, a clove of garlic, and used Chinese spinach instead of choi sum (which I could not source). I also added a teaspoon of xiouxin wine to the sauce. For the marinade, I tossed in a generous pinch of corn flour and baking soda to velvet the chicken thighs. Otherwise, made exactly as shown. This recipe is more of a framework than an exact how-to. And as always, no matter how much you try to scale the recipe down to two servings, it makes enough for 3 to 4 meals. Wonderful and delicious. Thanks as always, Jeremy.

[@smujiodome]

Fantastic channel. Great presentation and so easy to learn from. Thank you so much for your efforts. I’ll certainly be spreading the word. Two quick questions though. What are your views on the temperature differences between domestic appliances and commercial appliances. Does it matter that we can’t get our wok hot enough at home? Also why no garlic and ginger on this and many other recipes ? Best regards from Scotland.

[@SchoolofWok]

Thank you Bluesky! It doesn't matter too much if you can't get it hot enough, as long as you compensate for the amount of time! We use garlic and ginger a fair amount, but it's not always necessary! - Lee

Dear friend, Thank you very much for sharing that cooking recipe with us. I enjoyed watching it. As a subscriber, I should appreciate if you can demonstrate us how to cook "Chicken Magic Bowl" (Le Bol Renversé Poulet). It is a Sino-Mauritian recipe gaining popularity whereby to prepare it: One puts chopped chives at the bottom of the bowl. Then one adds a poached egg with the shinny liquid egg yolk facing down the bottom of the bowl. Afterwards adds the chicken chop suey. Next one heaps up the rest of the bowl with steamed rice. Finally one covers the bowl with a cooking plate, rotates the bowl 180 degrees and removes the bowl. The difficult part of the recipe is to prepare the sauce. I hope that you can show us the secret to preparing the sauce.

I’m excited to start my journey! Thank you so very much for your wonderful, easy to follow recipes! Take care, blessings Laura x

Hi Laura, flicking and lifting the pan are quite important aspects to controlling the heat. However with induction hobs, I'm sure you can slide the wok off the heat and then just give it a good stir to dissipate the heat! I wouldn't worry too much about the flicks and lifting as long as you can do that! - Lee

No garlic, no ginger?

True Big Papi this is the only recipe I've seen without ginger and garlic ?

[@marlenejones695]

If you want garlic and ginger, just add it.

[@SchoolofWok]

Thank you, Farhana. We're glad to hear it! - Lee

[@gregwarren1094]

My son wants me to make this, and I am definitely interested however someone in our house is allergic to shellfish so the oyster sauce is out... I think this might taste amazing with your Mongolian beef sauce. I'll keep you posted!

[@SchoolofWok]

You can try to look for vegetarian oyster sauce, there are plenty of options out there where they make it with mushrooms instead of oysters - Chris

[@gregwarren1094]

@@SchoolofWok I looked around but couldn't find any. By the way, this recipe paired with the Mongolian beef sauce was a hit!

[@rosshill2028]

This is more a lo mein as chou mein (chou means fried) has the noodles fried separately so that it forms a 'nest' which is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Also in ancient Chinese recipe books, the meat was fried separately in a batter of egg white and cornflour but this is no longer done in restaurants as it is too time consuming.

[@pttong]

Hi, thanks for a great video! I have a question. I notice that stir fried noodles (or rice) is often fried in wok over burners with real fire in it. And often while tumbling the food the flames are literally going in to the wok. Do you think cooking over high fire is something that affects the flavor?

[@SchoolofWok]

Yes, it gives it a smoky flavour! - Lee

[@trabbipaul]

Hello from Germany. Now i know how i must coock with my own Wok. U ,had manny times to try this,but me as a beginner mhhh i hope it works. I let u knwo this. And i found a better Wok as my own,on Amazon. Sincerelly Paul.

[@SchoolofWok]

Good luck, Paul! - Lee

[@WendyHannan-pt7ez]

Fantastic knife skills, I like the way you sliced the veggies thinly it looks amazing, it’s a must try for me. I use GF rice noodles, so no boiling noodles for me. Soft needles can spoil the whole dish.

[@WendyHannan-pt7ez]

Haha, soft noodles I mean, no glasses I’m in denial. 😉

[@mikegallant811]

This looks like an excellent recipe no two ways about that but the finished product looks more like what we folks here in the States would call Lo Me in, not Chow Me in. Still looks yummy tho!

[@scottyfrenzee571]

I just cooked this and I have officially ruined chicken chow mein because none of them have ever tasted better than this did. Not even close actually. So, THANKS!

[@SchoolofWok]

Haha, believe me, every Chinese takeaway has been ruined for me since I started working here! - Lee

[@datpspguy]

Looks amazing...can't wait to try this out myself. Added this video to my Favorites since I'm sure I'll be coming back to this for years on out! Thanks!!

[@SchoolofWok]

You will love it! - Lee

[@scrane5500]

Going to make this but without the chicken as I have a family history of Cancer and need to avoid all the igf-1 in meat---thanks for posting

[@margaretstewart8194]

Should add I'm no expert. It looks more like the lo mein I've enjoyed. I watched to learn how to make chow mein at home. This is an excellent video to learn from. You have a new subscriber. I look forward to learning from more of your videos.

[@SchoolofWok]

Thank you! - Lee

[@superflea72]

just found this channel today - love your video style Jeremy, very easy to follow and understand. I made this tonight for dinner and the family and I really enjoyed it, so thanks for the recipe! I'm wondering what a couple of chillies thrown in would be like now... :)

[@SchoolofWok]

Excellent! Glad you enjoyed it! - Lee
