  • We have done a few chow mein recipes before, but this one is slightly different, before we showed you how to use poached chicken to make the chow mein, this time, we're showing you how to make it with velveted chicken, we've also made this tutorial far more detail in, where we answer the most common questions we get in chow mein videos that we missed in past recipe videos, like why do my noodles stick? Why do my noodles clump together? The more like takeaway or takeout version is found in our 1st cookbook, this is more like an old school recipe. Hopefully this video will refresh some stuff for you guys who have seen our work before or if you're new, teach you some new techniques to make really tasty noodles at home, and if I'm honest, I do think this version of chicken chow mein is much better than most Chinese takeaways and takeouts out there.
    If you want any other dishes, please comment them below, it really does help our channel and the content we make.

    These in depth videos are fantastic. Its fine copying a how to step by step, but to get people cooking properly they need the information behind why you do things a certain way.
    And yes id love to cook something more authentic 👍

    A chef once told me that the most simple dishes are often the most difficult to get right, as there are usually limited ingredients that need perfectly balancing....this recipe underlines this theory; Having just followed your instructions, these few ingredients have produced a 100% perfect Chinese take away chicken chow mein ! Subscribed and looking forward to trying more of your fantastic recipes.

Im a chef nearly 26 years and love a Chinese takeaway afterwork. I've tried to replicate the curry sauce for years and never got anything like close to the real deal. A massive masive thankyou for that gem of a recipe. For anyone saying it looks a lot of work i beg you just push on and make the damn paste😂. When ever i open my fridge and see that paste I still can't believe i have the "actual" answer to my search for curry heaven🤯

    Love the way you stressed you weren't going to show your mum washing her hand on camera lol! Probably got comments saying you didn't wash them before 😅 talk about picky audiences... you're both great, thanks for all your effort!
