Got a link for that outdoor wok burner that your using? Cheers

[@86andyw]

I found it on your page. Thanks.

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

It was my mate who built the burner for me Andy..It's the most talked about topic on here ..I had so many enquires about the burner i had to eventually make a video..This is a link for my set up..kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJTCnoegm5uqrpo..The thing is they don't have them in the UK..I had just the burner part imported from the USA ..It's long story that's why i made the video to explain a bit more..Thanks Andy..

Mate, that looks amazing. Its strange how different regions in the UK differ in the presentation of the same dishes don't you think? I live in the Midlands and down here they mix the egg with the noodles but iv'e got to say yours looks great. Will be trying your recipes very soon, keep up the good work.

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

Thanks Mozza I think that's what makes my channel a bit different from the rest.As you said i'm making regional dishes that differ from the rest..But to be honest we also mix the egg with just a plain chow mein..This is a specialty dish..I ordered it all the time as my free meal at the end of my shift..It's superb honestly..A big seller in the shop..I do stick to the basics though as far as most dishes go but always give them an extra twist..Thanks again Mozza for you kind comment and great to have you onboard..

[@myname5327]

i bet it taste amazing looks very nice

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

It was pal thanks very much..A super tasty dish..

[@johnramsay6924]

Excellent videos as usual Alex thanks for sharing your knowledge. You should definitely open a takeaway yourself. Which ham do you use for the chow meins? I've tried a few but advice from the pro would be appreciated. Thanks. John

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

Chinese takeaways buy catering sized tinned ham..Far too much for me to use..Plumrose bacon grill is actually quite good or any tinned ham..The best way to cook it is to stir fry on it's own first to crisp it up and then add it to the cooked dish..If you don't firm it up first it will fall apart in the dish..I normally cut it into matchtick size pieces and then freeze what i don't use..It then can be cooked from frozen..Hope that helps a bit John..

[@johnramsay6924]

@@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex thanks very much for the reply Alex, I tried a tin of Pek ham but didn't think it was the same. I shall try the one you suggested thanks again. Will hopefully get a trip over to see wooin the next few weeks for supplies. Vids are great, Alex keep them up.

[@allyeazy]

Just found this channel Peking sauce recipe was dynamite! keep up the good work man. Can you show us some spicy szechuan dishes!

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

Thanks Ally for the compliment..This is the only szechuan dish i have at the moment..kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2ecXoSdnLSmgKM

[@allyeazy]

Aaaaaaah. Im hungry now.

[@tracymuckle8512]

I love your recipes but is MSG necessary? Nobody has that just laying around

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

No it's not necessary Tracy..

[@ianaddie7779]

It makes all the difference to any Chinese Tracy and is good with a lot of European cooking just like salt but different if that makes sense. Any Chinese supermarket has it on the shelf or Amazon

[@arkonite]

Tracy Muckle it definitely makes all the difference, i would suggest investing in a bag!

[@quaverflava3639]

Now you don't get that at a Chinese takeaway. Well not at the one's around my area.

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

Thanks Mate. I've only ever seen this style in Glasgow..Most takeaways I know serve it this way..Definitely value for money. It really is a struggle to finish one portion..Cheers mate

[@davyg8864]

Is it lucky boat noodles u use pal?

[@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex]

Yes Davy all the time..I'm quite lucky in that respect that my local Asian store split the the boxes into affordable packets..Normally sell for about £2.50 and there's plenty other than that it would have to be the usual Sharwoods which i don't rate but are fine if that's all you have..

[@davyg8864]

@@ukchinesetakeawayrecipesbyalex aye there just no the same am in saltcoats so have to order the box by looks of it dont fancy a trip to glasgow again i forgot the last time i was up to get them. Love the channel mate keep up the good work sharing yer knowledge
