[HarunDanyal]

[samiegirl1]

oyster sauce , soy sauce and hoi sin sauce lol

[VenusAsABoyFilms]

I want some!!!

[Masud]

marinate the shrimps for 5 minutes OR 10 seconds if you're chinese

[micheeeeee1]

what sauces did you use I didn't quite get the names...

[russel0817]

@micheeeeee1 they were oyster sauce, white wine, hoisin sauce, soy sauce.

[samiegirl1]

@micheeeeee1 he said oyster sauce

[fullagrace30]

Lovely...I wanna try. But what is the third sauce you mention. I dont quite get it. Oyster sauce.....soy sauce and......?

[brucedabeast]

@fullagrace30 I think he said hoi sin but im not sure.



[samiegirl1]

@fullagrace30 oyster sauce

[kevin26tx]

MyFriend, I didn't quite understand what sauce you use once you have the noddles, shrimps and vegetables already frying,.. One I that I saw was Soy Sauce but the other one? and you put sugar right ?

[randomnessnstuff]

Hey Kai you do awesome videos. I just have a question. When i make chow mein it always turns out good but it doesn't look like in a Chinese restaurant and i feel that it lacks sauce it's not as "saucy". So my question is are the measurements important because i add the sauces just by feel. Oh and could you also tell me what noodles you use?

Thanks!

[nameerwahsh]

Yngwie malmsteen at the end !!!!!! \m/

[tattoobox4u]

hi kai,

how do you make chinese takeaway style gravy?????????????

[nxong]

I love your cooking kai~_~

[amstevens23]

good job you did that very well, i did have a little trouble hearing that oyster sauce though, didn't know you had to fry the noodles :)

[1dalida1]

That intense guitar solo at the end makes me what to eat that dish even more!!!!

[simpletruths10]

yeah man i cant understand what sauces you are using man, write them down and put them at the end at least

[SororThothma]

Hoisin sauce, Oyster sauce, soy sauce. This recipe is really no different than lo mein with shrimp. A tsp of sesame oil added at the very end will give it a very nice restaurant style taste. You might also enjoy experimenting with different types of soy sauce. This dish would also be good using double dark soy or dark mushroom flavored soy sauce. You can also be more heavy handed with the sauces and just cook them in, for a stronger flavor. Minced garlic & ginger would add greatly to this dish.

[neurocosm]

@SororThothma - great thing about food is you make it just how you want it.

[TheRealCassii]

gotta give this video thumbs down because i cant understand when he says which sauces to use. he should really put a caption saying what the ingredients are..................

[Jduhbs]

@TheRealCassii well he did put a link to the recipe itself in the description

[tyrell1984]

could some one please tell me what the white powder is that he's putting in for the seasoning?

[BrightDigitalProduct]

@tyrell1984 cornflour

[kght222]

although i have been aware that i have it backwards for a long time, more than 10 years, for me i've allways though of that a lo mein while i think of chow mein as the one with the dry noodles you add when you go to eat it. but i'm an ignorant (and in this case apparently backwards) american. anyway it looks tasty, and as with allot of chinese food very fast to make.

[SupaAwsum]

What was that first dish called in the beggining?

[Hanna4740]

kai u rock

[ny00008]

ha at the end it sounds like yngwie malmsteen or something playing...

[craativesaman]

hii my name is sam and im 13

im really fond of cooking

but wen ever i cook noodles or chowmin

my noodles doesnt loook oily dey become dry

[LootableCorpse]

chow dont mean food?

[Marta206]

looks too good

[Aimanrulez]

omg man ur killing the wok >_< using somthing like that???? use a wooden stick because it can cause scratches to the wok

[LiveLoveLifeShare]

@Aimanrulez I don't think its a non-sticking pan..

[cheech213chong1]

thats only for non-stick

[kght222]

@Aimanrulez there is no nonstick, who gives a shit if you scratch it. and dont try to say "you get metal in your food" there is allready metal there before you cook it. its just a little iron, and the shards from the scratches will be about as small as the iron in an iron suplement pill.

[levisoto]

Great videos

I was looking for something like this for a while. I always wanted to learn how to make the foods I love so much at the Chinese restaurant.

Thanks a lot.

ps. do you have an egg drop soup vid?

[ashleyspring]

[jimmychauv]

@ashleyspring Did you watch the video?

[goldfish633]

[salvadorlabra]

[mtriv111]

Nice dish, and malmsteen closes it out.

[sosa32]

How many sauces are in this food? Soya Sauce, oyster sauce and what is the last sauce that used?

[kristiengo]

@sosa32 the last one is hoisen sauce

[mexicano7771000]

I made it with a maruchan that comes with the ingredients.... I just cooked some shrimp and god dammit.. It was the best thing i ever had in my life.

[Aimanrulez]

[shredhead321]

Love the Yngwie music at the background!

[immabitch143]

[Rarrin9378]

@HozuSenpai Cocaine.

[Macktube]

@HozuSenpai rice wine

[heavyrain24]

this looks unhealthy and delicious at the same time 

[goladen]

@heavyrain24 not any more unhealthy then a single cheeseburger from any fast food place. You can add more veggies and less oil also

[uhohwhoops]

Come cook me some Chinese food dammit!

[Hamzaman221]

can we use the same marinade for boneless chicken?

[lasapo26]

i love chow mein too...yum yum i could eat it everyday lol

[alsem333]

hiii im big fan!!! ,but!!! im also a fan of the music you use in your videos , i hear alot of instrumentals (guitars etc)what artists do you use

thank you ::)

[wugglyump]

I just made this- it was delicious!

[wDawks]

I can't actually check the heat for my stove...on a typical 1-10 stove...how high would I need to go to get 300* 350* and 400*? So I can guage from the levels, not the temp.

[chouana]

OMg You used Yngwie for your music choice, you are now my idol <33333333333

[learnfabcooking]

Wicked vid Thanx!! -- I tryed it and it was ok but the taste was bit dif and the noodles weren't brown enough :( I think it's cos i skipped the hoiseen source (soz 4 spelling)

[chainlinkdreams]

after the soy sauce what were the next two ingredients you added, one sauce and one that looked powderd?

[TheBayShadow]

@chainlinkdreams I think it was oyster sauce and corn starch....At least thats what I think I heard.. //_0)

[JenniferlovesGaara]

Aahh...uhm....I hear using metal utensils w/ a non-stick frying pan or wok can scratch the non-stick surface....and that it can cause cancer D: So it might be best 2 use plasic/wooden utensils nxt time :)

[bibi246]

whats the difference between chow mein and lo mein?

[mintico]

@bibi246 spelling

[learnfabcooking]

@bibi246 I'm not too sure but I think it's that the noodles are prepared differently so I heard :S

[ShaneT87]

Kai you are awsome..thank you for your videos

[pogisiG]

STFU WILLMROSS

[vicz200]

[willmross]

[grandiosefilms]

[DaDreamTeen]

@vietonion12 carrots onions and green onions

[NorthGateMajor]

Kikkoman is okay I like Maggi

[JokerFaceproductions]

with these steps, i think i can make Chow Mein. Thank you so much.

[jlilaj]

what were the three sauces he added when everything was in the wok?

[misscande14]

@jlilaj Oyster sauce, soy sauce and hoisen sauce.

[ivyruiz1]

what the white powder you use to marinate the shrimp? what is good quality soy sauce?

[awsomenesscaleb]

@ivyruiz1

Cornstarch. The soy sauce he used was dark soy sauce, so it was thicker and darker than normal.

[Ersatzbee]

@ivyruiz1

kikkoman is a fine soy sauce brand. Cooks Illustrated even recommends it.

[hbhaska]

@ivyruiz1 White powder is corn starch

[TheSilverSting]

Anybody else thought that the Counter made it look like the video was blurring?

[diannabrooks]

Thank you for the great Chow Mein Video. It really helped me make my first Chow Mein 2 nites ago. Came out yummy...Thanks again

[WhimsicalUnited]

[snowyang13]

so i just got done making/eating this and i was missing one apparently vital ingredient: oyster sauce

i'm not sure why but for some reason it tastes...christmasie..........­......i think maybe it's the housin (sp?) sauce and the lack of oyster sauce...it's still amazing...but with just a hint of christmas to it...?

[songchuyi]

basically he makes Cantonese food, which is so different from Taiwanese food or Shanghainese food or Northern Chinese food. Anyway, it's delicious!!!

[Bardoftoday]

@CG1922000 hoisin sauce

[songchuyi]

@CG1922000 i think he used Seafood sauce and Oyster sauce..u can get them in oriental market...go to the sauce shelves and notice there is a brand called "Lee Kumkee"(something similar...), which has the best sauce. I have tons of them in my fridge.!

[MoLpuntofinal199x]

[Ichigo1423jfk]

Omg i can't beleive how easy it is to make chow mein, I'm going to try it out when i have time to get the ingredients.

[wickedf]

I have tried many of your dishes and they all turn out fantastic. Please keep the videos coming I'm saving a ton of money on Chinese food. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.

[fabfifties]

I'm alergic to anything fish. Do Chinese restaurants put oyster sauce in their chow mein?

[MrPlanx]

Oyster sauce is used in Chinese restaurants in probably half of the dishes they make. If you have eaten Chinese food, then you've had oyster sauce. Maybe you aren't as allergic to all fish as you think.

[fabfifties]

@MrPlanx Yes, I am allergic. I think I know my own body. I don't eat in Chinese restaurants for that reason. I was just curious if they put it in chow mein or just certain dishes.

[PaidHero1]

hey man ur cool thanks for the help

[kurohead]

I love your accent, looks good :3

[skatejin]

@kurohead  gay

[kurohead]

[LadyMeilin]

yummy that looks sooo good!

[harial]

Made this last night for my friends. I used chicken instead and it was super great! I did not add the Hoisin sauce because I am not really attracted to the flavor so I used seasoning sauce instead. I was really good!
