I had to use spaghetti. I couldn't find any "egg noodle" that looked anything like that. It was either Spaghetti, angel hair or weird italian shape macaroni.
Nice and simple recipe but next time I make it I will skip the sugar. It turned out too sweet for a lo mein dish and the sugar really ruined it for me. Thanks for the recipe though.
@freckledcheeks101 regular cabbage compared to the chinese cabbage(nappa) is hard to cook and takes more time but the chinese cabbage is more softer and goes well with this fast cooking recipe :P
@MegaNorthMemphis Uh... ya add the beef when you use a different recipe. It's on here. This is VEGETABLE Lo Mein. It comes in lots of different flavors... like Beef.
@Dranamolous You can replace the sauce he made with any store bought stir fry sauce and it will be great. I use Lee Kum Kee Kung Pao sauce and it is spicy and delicious.
Judging by the wok he is using he is not really from china, judging by the lack of spices and garlic he really doesnt have a clue what he is doing. I am pretyy sure there are many different ways to make this dish but i am pretty sure that this is not one of them.
where can i buy egg noodles to use for lo mein, and are they expensive? i'm a college student with no cooking knowledge and low on cash lol, please help. im tired of bad dorm food and cup noodleS!
@lucirz You don't need egg noodles. You can use thin pastas as a substitute. (Vermicilli...Angel Hair..etc)
You can also substitute a lot of other things used here. Vegetable lo mein is very versatile thankfully, and there are an infinite number of ways to make it. This video is a great start though for someone that hasn't before.Personally, I like to add crushed red peppers to my vegetable lo mein to give it a spicysweet flavor..
I made this today and it came out very plane tasting, It looked great smelled amayzing but idk what i messed up on maybe il add more surgar or something.
Nice. What I like about Chinese cooking is everything can be done quickly. When a lot of these recipes were first created in China cooking fuel was in short supply so you had to finish preparing your meals before the fire went out. That's why most of them are simple and fast.
actually the way we do it here is we put a huge amount a bowl...and randomly put the ingredients and sauces acording to taste..not by measurements...but hey! its our way in singapore
Spaghetti noodles can be used, the difference is Chinese noodles are flat, spaghetti is round. You can get Chinese noodles at any asian grocery store / asian market. USE COOKING WINE INSTEAD OF CHICKEN STOCK TO MAKE IT VEGETARIAN.
China is a very big country. Saying that there is a real kind of lo mein is like saying that there's a real kind of lasagna or a real kind of marinara sauce.
you can use spaghetti noodles for this recipe but it's not the same as getting lo mein noodles. if you really want to get the same noodles they use in takeout or the restaurants, find an asian market in your area (try chinese, vietnamese or thai) and look for PANCIT NOODLES. Depending on the location, they will sell it dry or fresh in the refrigerator but either is fine since you have to cook both anyways.
This is a really easy recipe. I did find it a little sweeter then I desire, I think it might be the hoision. I am going to see what I can do to take away thew sweetness, oh I did NOT add the extra sugar...
Heat is one of the secrets in Chinese frying, which this video omits. After you add the oil, wait for the wok (Chinese frying pan) to heat up intensely before dumping anything into it. The green light is that you could see steam/smoke rising up at the brim of the wok, and then it is ready. It will confer a special wok chi/wok qi (intense heat inside the food which gives the food a strong smell and flavor when putting into the mouth, chi/qi in Chinese means something like aura, air or wind).
Any one have a good brand/make of lo mein noodles? - egg noodles from w*mart just dont' taste the same. Same as above for me fen (sometimes me fun)noodles but they are the angel hair size noodles. (not the flat wide ones.
I love your videos! Keep up the good work! I was wondering if the noodles were washed in cold water and oil was added before you put them in the wok?
