[GuitarLvr21]

[ookami3380]

last night some girl i was trying to flirt with said

"i need to chow something"

i said - " why not chow mein?"

and she slapped me.

i guess she is not big on chinese cooking..oh well.

[kawaiikowai08]

Love your channel! I was wondering, do you have a recipe for "house chicken" it's usually with mushrooms and it's got a spicy sweet sticky sauce on it, sort of clear and orangeish, also has a lot of chili flakes in it. I love it soo much and a recipe would be great!! Any help would be much appreciated :)

[59BLACKLIST]

i think i will order chinese food

[indian2003]

Warning!

I made this dish exactly as in the video but with a bit of extra sauce and its addictive! I used to eat thisdish in Malaysia at the Chinese restaurant.

When I saw this video I made it once and then every day for a week. Some friends of mine tried it and they too got addicted.

[Realillcoastaztecs]

Mmmmm, I love u... food

[PandaPapanicolaou]

This looks very yummy! I'll try this tomorrow:-) I <3 your kitchen by the way!

[hugmeshootme]

what kind of noodles should i use if i can't find vermicelli? could i just use spaghetti? or maybe egg noodles?

[pastryparrot1]

Yum! I am uploading a pork chow mein this week. I fried my noodles in a little oil in my cast iron pan. My sauce is slightly different but we have the same concept. Take care!

[vas2044]

Stunning! The food looks pretty good too ;)

[ammohead73]

That looked soo good,thank you :)

[tinkasilvermist]

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@nelumvia Thank you - I really appreicate this :)

[tattooyu]

Great recipe. Really easy with the frozen stir fry veggies. I was always told to use cold water to mix with the cornstarch.  You are dang pretty!

[GCMaxProductions]

never heard of that before, do you know how to make crispy seaweed (cabbage)??

[KScharba]

I hope you answer. From where do you get those fancy glasses?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@KScharba You mean the little octagon ones? My mother in law bought them a long time ago. I'll have to ask her from where she purchased them.

[SHERR93]

What if i don't use peanut oil and use other oils instead, like vegetable oil?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@SHERR93 You can use regular vegetable oil in place of the peanut oil :)

[SHERR93]

I thought it's chao mian Lol

[Greenmarine6]

I love your videos but don't have the time to sit and watch, you could cut the time in half and still have the same info

[9aspengold5]

Love your video's. Especially the ones of your Grandmother. She is so sweet.

[ilovemyhelmet72]

[MSNINA6200]

I really liked this recipe

[brental45]

very good but wish u were shown cooking becoz your so pretty

[TheAdmiralsemmes]

what kind of Sherry is that? anyone know? Thanking yall in advance

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@TheAdmiralsemmes Hi - I use regular cooking sherry - the brand is Holland House and can usually be foud in most local grocery stores :)

[TheAdmiralsemmes]

what kjind of Sherry is that?

[LEOofGnG]

Is there any way you can make this without adding the sherry?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@LEOofGnG Yes for this recipe it will still be good without the sherry :)

[LEOofGnG]

@AsianCookingmadeEasy awesome, thanks a bunch :D

[pkirbo]

Hi ,i love all your recipes im from ireland my friends and family love when i dish one of your recipes up. I would love to see a satay recipe from you if you dont mind? Thanks

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@pkirbo Thank you! I actually have the satay on my request list and will definitly get to it soon :)

[MysticSonic007]

mk i got a question abt this reusing the oil after u fry it, isn't that unhealthy? (not to say i wouldn't just to get in a new flavor) but i know some oils like olive are bad to refry, but that doesn't mean they all are bad to reuse does it?

this is my fav dish of chinese food other than shrimp fried rice... talk abt someone getting fat before leaving the table.. xD

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@MysticSonic007 I have never heard of it being unhealthy and a lot of people I know have done this for years. There is a point however when you do need to discard the oil. Usually it begins to have a funny smell; and if it is really dark in color than it is probably too old :)

[miss60s]

Just what I was looking for, Great and Clear video, loved it. Thanks dear :) oh..not that it's important but u used a lot of "ands" in the video keke.

[Zuckdawg]

Hi...great video! Question? Is there a reason why you did not velvet the chicken? I watched your velvet video which was awesome. I hate doing it as it makes everything a little more time consuming and uses more oil...but it makes everything taste so much better. I wish they sold chicken that was already velveted! :) It really is night and day. 

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@Zuckdawg I didn't velvet the chicken in this recipe simply to save time :)

[elvenlove]

At 6:16, are you touching the wok with your bare finger??!!

[NZemerald1]

Hi, what do you do with the oil that you've used for deep frying the noodles? Do you put it in a container for other recipes or is that not good to use?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@NZemerald1 Hi- This is a great question. I do use the oil again and I try to use it three times, depending on how dirty it gets. I also have a funnel with a filter that filters out the bits and pieces of food.  I usually let the oil cool and then funnel it into a large plastic container. I store the oil that I used for seafood dishes separate from the oil I used for other frying since the flavor of seafood often infuses into the oil. Thanks for writing and watching :)

[KiriouSs]

well..i saw it and i like it.

[Dizzra1]

marry me,lol

[BehindChanelGlasses]

Is rice wine a suitable alternative to Sherry?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@BehindChanelGlasses Yes that would work fine in this recipe :)

[AKJY]

very informative.... thank you...

[xTreMe2HardCorEx]

cool

[xTreMe2HardCorEx]

how much does it all cost ?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

Good ques -Noodles are cheap about $2. Peanut oil can be expensive ($15/gallon) but you can sub vegetable oil (2.50/btl) instead. Chicken breasts are often on sale for $3 or so a lb. Garlic salt I always have on hand and can be found for $1. Frozen veggies always go on sale for like $2. Cornstarch and stir fry oil I have on hand too, but are about $3 and $4. So in total its less than $20, can feed at least 3 people with extra oil, garlic salt, cornstarch, and stir fry oil for other recipes :)

[ProudSikhJatt]

@AsianCookingmadeEasy What about Chicken fried rice which taste like the restaurant and hot and sour soup

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

@ProudSikhJatt I have both of those on my request list and will get to them soon :)

[joeasmythe]

@AsianCookingmadeEasy .. We have been trying to duplicate the taste of NY chow mein, and I think the oyster sauce is what will do it. Thank you.

[maplepoon]

I really like the vent you have above your stove!

Where did you get it?

Was it custom made?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

It's a GE Monogram :)

[111alexander111]

Nice!

[kimberleymh]

Is Vermicelli gluten free?

[kiminokami]

There are gluten-free pastas out there. I would be surprised if there wasn't the vermicelli variety available.

[Juinor]

OH..Chow mein "crispy" LOL i get it...XD

[ganthonyvr]

can u use spagetti noodles for chow mein??

[MrPlanx]

It will be "edible" but it won't taste even remotely authentic. You really want to buy noodles that are specific for making chow mein.

[ganthonyvr]

well then exactly what kind of noodles are u supose to use???? i have used egg noodles and rice noodles (the clear ones) and it doesnt come out right!! dont take it wrong the taste comes out real good just the texture dont feel right at all so wat kind of noodles am i supose to use please???

[MrPlanx]

Find an Asian grocery store and ask. There are many different brands. They will specifically say on the package that they are for making chow mein.

[ganthonyvr]

thats da sad part those noodles i bought em at a huge korean market and all the employees there speak no english like for me to ask. well i guess i'll continue searching for the right noodles

[MrPlanx]

Try Whole Foods. Look in the Asian foods section there.

[6211945]

Dear Leilah, please receive my gratitud for your teaching. What a delicius recipe.

Regards from Bogotá, Colombia.

[jaro1277]

very good !!! I have a question... do you know how to make almond duck? is duck in squares with a sweet and sour dark red sauce with almonds on top with some green and orange sweet like jelly slices. Thank you very much for these recipes you are great..

[viddienair]

before anything lemme thank you for this recipe with a very wonderful presentation..thanks a million...i hve a quick question... i found another recipe for the 'sauce' which included cornstarch soysauce oyster sauce and chicken broth..does it matter or is it okay to hve different version of sauces...(sry..i hve zero understanding on chineese cooking.. :))

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

There are many different versions of this dish, so it is fine to have different variations of the sauce :)

[sgtkiko]

accent? i can understand her fine.

looks yummy :P

[mytien12]

Thank my mum really like to eat chow mien noodles so i think im going to try to make this :D wish me luck!

[bachaplegic]

so sorry to see the horrible comments.

Personally I think your stir fry noodle recipe looks great, something I would not mind trying. Looks really easy too. For me, being a wheelchair user every cooking task has to be easy so it doesn't tire me out too quickly. I will be following your cooking.

and you accent is just fine.

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

Thank you - I hope that you find my recipes easy and useful. Thanks for writing and watching :)

[NMRA]

i'm sorry, but your accent is too strong for me

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

Oh I know - I'm trying to make it more neutral, but it takes some time :)

[NMRA]

@AsianCookingmadeEasy

sorry...really

Were you born in the part of America that has that accent?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

No - I was actually born and raised in NJ - But I've been in the south for about 10 years now. My whole family still lives in NJ, so they all make fun of my accent :)

[NMRA]

to be fair, because i'm irish, I wouldn't like any american accent anyway, so in a way it's mostly just me

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

Yea, it's funny how people view different accents. Anyway, thanks for watching :)

[mohaagurlnz]

ive seen better chow mein

[Healoneministries]

truth is truth. ;)

[Healoneministries]

tubedude: The thing I love about her recipes is that you can take previous dinner leftovers and make these dishes. For example, if you made pork roast then you could cut it up and add the sauce and veggies. I would think Angel Hair pasta will work too. I purchase at big discount chain stores (little by little) basic ingredients (ie. soy sauce, vinegars..etc.) I am sure she can tell you good ones to start with. :) These recipes have help me save money.

[thegedair]

u purchase at big discount stores... its people like u that cause the economical crisis, thankyou very fukin much...

[Ninusch]

omg this looks so fu**in' delicious DD: damn i'm hungry now xDDDDD

[DivaJacobs313]

wonderful.... thank you.....

[Minazukix33]

looks good but it would be better to use vegi oil instead of peanut it is more healthy =)

[Aspenfash899]

im hungrey

[adventure002006]

This looks great. Nice touch with frying the noodles. Never tried that, usually boiled noodles then just stir fried for a few minutes. Will try the fried noodle route.  Also have to get some peanut oil and flavour up some oil to make stir fry oil. Another great tip.

Thanks for all your efforts.

[boostedclied]

This video made me really hungry. I'm gonna have to go to 99cent ranch and get some chowmein now. Gonna try and make that dish.

[neildavid]

hell yeah, 99ranch is where its at

[shesdyvine]

My hubby and I love this along with the other dishes we tried. Thank you Lila

[Soujurn]

I always wondered why my chinese dishes I cooked at home never tasted as good as the ones in the local restaurants. Until I learned to start using Oyster Sauce, 5 Spice, and Chinese Cooking Wine.

[SixFootEightTao]

is this lady asian?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

Yes I am; I'm half Chinese :)

[megaman7812]

@AsianCookingmadeEasy

What's your other half?

[gcarped]

Nice presentation. I will definitely try this one!

[kngsunny]

[lagathy]

[maccorsi]

[hawtumeyk]

[northstormmen]

Is a AllClade 14 inch Wok in my future???

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

I actually use a Joyce Chen 14" non stick wok for all of my cooking :)

[eliseo530]

cherry ? is that vinegar?

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

Sherry is a cooking wine that can usually be found in the vinegar section of your local grocery store.

[thekillerfrom619]

I am going to try this for sure. I tried your mongolian beef reciepe and I swear it is the best thing I have ever tasted! My family and friends were amazed. Can you please post a video on how to make the fried chinese garlic chicken wings, the kind that seem to be deep fried with a crispy batter. please help!! - your #1 fan.

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

Thanks so much for the comment. I will try to post the chicken wings after posting a few other vids :)

[blkcatqueen]

I love your videos. They are very easy to follow. You do a great job and I always watch when they come to my youtube page. Thank you.

[AsianCookingmadeEasy]

Thank you so much for the comment and for watching :)

[Wivanunu]

I think you sound like you have a southern accent:)

[northstormmen]

Where did you get that interesting accent?
