🤤 The Chow Mein Masterclass (鷄肉炒麵)

[@Shams.Allami]

I have this thing where if I want to learn a recipe from any country of the world, I would like to see person from that country cooking it, preferably an elderly or someone who doesn't even speak English...It would be the best of recipes! So I'm so thankful for your video! ❤❤❤❤

[@ashleys637]

This is, hands-down, one of the greatest cooking channels on KZbin (and no, not one of the greatest CHINESE cooking channels...channels, period). Daddy Lau explains logical reasons for performing each step in his cooking process, and is a charismatic teacher to boot. I've made many of his recipes, and they were all amazing! I'm so happy you all are posting these recipes/techniques for us to learn and enjoy. Also, I'm an Irish/lebanese woman from the US. Your family is super wholesome, and if you ever wanted to adopt an adult w/ no parents, hit me up! Thanks to your channel I even speak culinary Cantonese! J/k. Keep up the great work!

[@xcbasss5824]

Chinese cooking demystified is also good.

[@alaanaseem1615]

Pop lol

[@DaShikuXI]

As a non-Chinese, from my perspective this dish is the most fundamental for learning Chinese cooking. It's easy to learn, but surprisingly hard to master, which gives you an excellent jumping off point for getting into Chinese cooking. As you gain more skill and knowledge, this dish will only taste better and better. Not only that, it is a dish that you can personalize quite easily when you know what you're doing. It is also fantastic for impressing any guests you might have around dinner time.

[@BluEyedRaven]

The fact that we get access to YEARS of knowledge on a specific cuisine for free is insane. Thank you!

I was the assistant head chef there for over 4 years and this technique is qualified enough. Although you could add more for texture and style.

Swear to God. I'm Polish, was living abroad for quite some time, trying different ways of cooking, since I never order takeaway (I work in a restaurant). Your videos are the most inspirational and teaching of any I found to the date. Kudos and long life to Chef Lau!

[@carolhill8599]

Thank you for this recipe. It's not just your dad's long experience. It's his interest and attention to detail and also your discriptions that make Made with Lau the channel I turn to when I want to make a Chinese dish. As I thought, this Chow Mein is a step up from the Chow Mein I used to get as a young girl (I'm 78 now). I can't wait to try it.

Thank you for putting this on KZbin. To learn authentic cooking from an elderly person of that country is a real blessing. I can now make a delicious chow me in at home and it's all thanks to you and your father. I though the bits around the family table were lovely and wholesome and I agree with your family that your dad does indeed look very handsome in his well tailored shirt. May your dad stay healthy for years to come and all the very best to you for your KZbin channel.

Made this for lunch today and got amazing reviews from my family. My kids don’t know it is Chinese food because I’m Mexican and to them it is just yummy food mom cooks. I wish i was Chinese, but I’m glad I can learn from the culture through you guys. Thank you 🙏🏽

My beautiful partner Elise and I are making Sunday's as learning to cook Asian food with Lau. We have nearly mastered won ton soup the won tons are looking like won tons instead of different types of animals 😂. I cooked beef and black bean last Sunday and it was awesome and was even better when left in the fridge overnight. Tomorrow Sunday here in Australia 🇦🇺 is spring rolls and seafood or chicken chow mein. Thank you so very much Lau I've always wanted to be able to cook Chinese food and you have made it possible with your easy to follow recipes 😀 🎉

Finally! It's all about how you handle the noodles. I have been working on chow mien for over a year, with little success. Sure its was good, but to be honest, the end result was little more than fried lo mien. Thank you so much for this and other posts.

One sort of funny thing I often add: the sugar snap peas always have some with quite large peas in them. I shell these and set aside the peas for fried rice or egg flower soup, then cut the tender pods in strips for stir fry-it’s a nice additional crunch, and more veggies!

[@Momo_0_o]

[@Kwijiboi]

Dice carrots would also be harder to pick up with chopsticks along with the noodles. You can do that in fried rice as dice would be easier to eat with the fried rice.

[@yellowgerbie]

I made this tonight. Very good. That chicken…sooo silky and tender, just amazing! Even managed to get the noodles crispy, which I’ve never managed to achieve before. One modification is that my chow mein noodles’ instructions were to simply put in boiling water for 10 seconds, separate with chopsticks then drain. No boiling or steaming instructed. So I just followed the packet instructions, and it turned out great. It’s the first recipe from Made With Lau that I’ve tried and def won’t be the last.

[@helenmackay7064]

Thank you so much for your video. I made this tonight for two food lovers who have good taste. . They were impressed. What I learned: 1)steam and then boil the noodles before frying, 2)add the sauce to the noodles when frying them (I used to add the sauce to the veggies first), 3)then add veggies and chicken and combine 4) finally add bean sprouts and combine 5) add a drizzle of sesame oil before serving. This was a very educational video. It was all about the order in which to cook the ingredients, and technique. It made all the difference. Thank you . This will be a regular in my kitchen.

Love this video, learned a lot from it so thank you.

I suggest using non-metal spoons (example:wood spoon) when stirring items in that pan.

I noticed Chef Lau was wearing a smart looking shirt. For many years in Australia it was near impossible to find a shirt with Asian sizes. I had to go to Hong Kong or Japan to find off the rack clothes that fit. It has only been in recent years 2 Japanese clothing chains have opened, Uniqlo and Muji. I now almost exclusively buy my clothes from these shops.
