  • Instead of ordering out, we're taking out a big cast iron wok and making lo mein noodles at home, and we're going to try to do this so it's as good as those lo mein noodles everyone gets with their Chinese take-out. You can certainly use any kind of noodles you want in this stir fry, even your favorite ramen noodle bricks. But it's the quality of the noodles that makes this dish so popular, and that's why lo mein noodles are almost as popular as rice. The recipe for this dish can be seen on my Web site, Cast Iron Chaos, at: www.modemac.com/wiki/Lo_Mein_i...

      The Lodge wok is the complete opposite of a traditional thin Chinese wok, but I love it. It's one of the most used pieces in my kitchen.

    The best lo mein IMO is the type cooked on an open fire on those fire ring adapters. While the items in the wok are shuffled around and flipped, the fire kisses the ingredients lending that oh so vital smoky taste.
    Sigh, to be able to replicate that in the kitchen 💛

      I can't disagree with that, especially since I have a cheap electric stove.

    I make this dish using just cast iron on a flat hot plate, not a wok. Last time I cooked, I had a funny result: a sticky substance was spread across one corner of the plate once I put the plate away after cleaning it. It had seamlessly blended to the cast iron. The corner looked like just regular cast iron but gleaming. I have no idea what caused it. If you touch it, it is sticky. My mother says it may have something to do with the starch of the noodles. You are an expert on cast iron, any idea what it as and how to remove it?

    • @castironchaos
      @castironchaos  Рік тому

      Your mother's guess,sounds like it could be accurate, so I’ll go with that. Giving the cast iron a brisk scrubbing with steel wool, or a chainmail scrubber, as you rinse it under hot water should be enough to remove that residue.

      @@b89oj If it's bare cast ironing, it might affect the seasoning. That's no big deal, because the worst that would be needed would be to re-season the pan. If it's enameled cast iron, then it's something different and I don't know what it is.

      @@castironchaos oops, yeah I meant the seasoning. Don't know why I wrote coating. It's just cast iron. But I have read from many sources that metal scrubbers and other sorts of metal utensils are not recommended for cleaning cast iron cookware.

    @1:31, i'm still getting a big kick out of the star of chaos @ the center of your wok. anyone else might see it as an imperfection but considering you it seems to be an occurrence of incoincidental destiny!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      no, its usually wheat noodles that do, if you don't preblanch. these are egg noodles and the wok is cooling down instead of being set to high on burner
