    I’m just saying Steven is such a good food reviewer. He describes the meal to such an extent that I can almost taste it. Keep up the good work Steven. Thank you Mandy these are great recipes. I’ll try them both soon.

    I make a version of lo mein using ramen noodles. Sauteed shrimp, thin sliced steak and chicken. I saute onions and coleslaw mix. Add everything together and I add in just enough soy sauce to coat.

    I love you guys. You’re always so cheerful and you’re great at teaching us how to follow the recipe. I had a giggle when you asked Steven if Asian food was his favourite. I thought “food is Steven’s favourite.” I love his enthusiasm and his willingness to try new recipes. You both are a delight. I also enjoy seeing Cole and hearing his reviews.

    My daughter was just starting to cook Ramen when I saw this. I rescued half of the noodles and we tried a comparison of your recipe vs. standard flavor packet. Honestly, they cooked in almost the same time. My 11 yr old admitted that yours tasted great.

  • @chrisholds1
    @chrisholds1 8 місяців тому +5

    For the first recipe; if you want the noodles to be saucier, add a little water after mixing the noodles back into the pan because the hot noodles will soak up any liquid in the sauce like a sponge.

    You mentioned the vinegar was tart. I love to put pinapple juice in teriyaki. It gives sweetness with a brightness that makes it not need vinegar and it needs way less sugar or honey.

  • @sandybowman7140
    @sandybowman7140 8 місяців тому +3

    Ok Mandy, now ur cookin in my wheelhouse! I have a great add in idea to balance the tart: add 2 Tbsp Peanut Butter & finish it with chopped Peanuts & drizzled Coconut Milk & u will grab more Thai flavors into the whole mix. I think a soft boiled egg, & some crunchy raw Coleslaw Mix or if u can find them Bean Sprouts. Ooh, almost forgot, thinly sliced radishes for peppery crunch & that gorgeous pink color. I don't boil the noodles bc they just need a couple minutes of warm water to hydrate & the sauce is hot so that will heat them back up. If u don't want to do a soft boiled egg, then soft scrambled egg is delightful & would coat the noodles with a silky texture. When making plain ramen, it's delish to wisk in a scrambled egg but it's best to temper it to the heat or u will get coagulated chunks of egg. I use this egg technique in the Creamy Chicken Ramen - ooh so good & hearty for when ur tummy needs a rest but still fill it with a good protein. In my Creamy Chicken, I add more water than is required since the sodium is so high & turn it into more than 1 meal.
    Mandy, this is going the extra mile in showing care & consideration for poor folks like me; u are so kind & considerate! Thank u for these wonderful recipes! ❤

And I also buy broccoli florets in the produce department, adding these and the fajita strips to the noodles. And what you have created is a homemade version of beef and broccoli with noodles. I'll leave the spice combination up to you.
