While surfing the web, i came upon your wonderful and informative food channel! I made this channel my favorite, and am going back and watching every program of yours!!!
Good to know that Dude actually prefers the noodles air fried, rather than pan fried. Thanx again for another amazing recipe. I love all the little bits of information and explanation you provide!
You, my dear lovely lady (and The Dude) are so awesome for everything you show us! A cast iron skillet in the mix! WOOOT WOOOT!! Thanks for sharing your passion for amazing and delicious food!
I just made the same noodle on frying pan Hawaii Chinese style “Cake noodles” ... press down and fry both sides , then cut into squares then pour sauce over top ! Thanks for the Airfryer technique ! Have a blessed Lord’s Day!
I don’t know how I missed this recipe! We used to eat this all the time when I lived in Chicago. I see that someone else said the same thing. Now I know how to do it, so I’ll make them myself! Thanks Flo!
One of the best youtube suggestion of the week ! Happy I discovered your channel, and couldn't resist to the subscribe button! Can't wait for more! ❤️😊
This is such a wonderful idea , I have a AF but never thought I could do it this the A F to make it crispy, you do make life easier for everyone out there ... I am so grateful to you for sharing this wonderful simple recipe that can be make any days ! Thank you. !👏👍🙂🙏
Hi Flo - just came across your youtube a couple of weeks ago,, OMG - the best asian cooking I've seen - and you make things simple by not using too many incredients (well the sauces have lots, but that okay, cause I have most in my pantry) will make Char Sui Pork this week - luv you and Dude xxxx
My husband is from Los Angeles, and we moved to Maryland. He has been craving crispy noodles. We did finally find one Chinese restaurant that would make them special for us, but sadly they have closed. I am so happy to see your video so I can try my hand at making them at home. I am a pretty good cook, so I hope I'll have success. I also loved your videos on the pork belly and Chinese barbeque. I'm so happy to find your channel. I subscribed and hope to learn lots of secrets from you.
I used to have that oil mister, and had the same experience. I've since purchased an Evo sprayer and like it a lot more. I plan on buying more to keep different types of oil on hand.
Flo! You make me so sad! I wish I were your neighbor or Dude! You always make me so hungry!!! You do give some very educational/informative tid bits like Hong Kong style. I grew up in Hawaii and almost ALL Chinese restaurants serve crispy chow mein! That was normal chow mein to me. Thank You ✌😚👌 💞💞💞💞💞
Thank you Flo. I am from San Francisco and was looking for that non crunchy chow mein recipe but I do like the Hong Kong style occasionally. May have it more often tho-now that it’s not deep fried. 😀 love your Chinese food recipes, simple ingredients and easy to prepare with a little help from the best kitchen gadgets!
You had me hooked on the first recipe I watched! BBQ Pork Belly, WOW, Kapow. I bought your book then I bought the AirFryer. You are a very dangerous woman! I love you already. Thank you for sharing all this awesomeness. OH, I think I need a new apron, too. WooHoo!
l agree with your husband l just mad it and wow so good keep up the grate work your food it the best better any Asian shop love your recipes they are grate thank you for sharing
Tried crisping the noodles last night in the AF - Perfect, and your chicken recipe too (I sliced very fine, like in my local restaurant, and added Tinned shitake, super soft, sliced, ditto!).
Looks good Flo! I live in Hawaii and at the Chinese restaurants if we want the noodles crisp like that we order cake noodles. Hong Kong noodles here are dry thin noodles. I love that different places have variations in Chinese styles of cooking. My Gung Gung had a restaurant and taught me to make cake noodles. I think I prefer the air fryer method!! Less mess and less oil. Thanks for the tip. Love your videos, so mellow.
My misto does that too, and it’s new! It has also broken under the pump lid several times that I have glued because I can’t afford a new one. This is my second one that has done the same things.
Catching up on some videos and my oh my does this look delicious. I've got to re-watch the beginning so I'll use the correct style noodles. It is fun to buy different kinds but then I forgot which noodle to use for which dish, haha. This will be great fun to try in the air fryer. Thank you for showing how both methods came out, that was thoughtful. You and Dude are the best team!
He did makes a good point , now a day I am @ the age that I really need to watch ... what I eat so I will go for the air fryer... Thank again for pass on a healthy choice . bless your heart 🥰❤👍
Love your recipes! Made this without the crispy noodles, as we are low carb. I know, that’s awful, however, this was a wonderful recipe to serve over some rice, when my husband commented again on another of your recipes… 😀 Thank you !
I use an EVO sprayer from QVC, love it. When pan frying use peanut oil for authentic taste and higher heat in a wok. Most restaurants in the Bay Area you have to ask for HK style or crispy noodles, there maybe an extra charge. Your recipe is almost like mine, but with julienne ginger and snow peas or bok choy.
I wanna just share you a tip that, after boiling noodle, you probably put it into cold water then remove them out and let it dry. That help noodles not sticky and tougher. It will not be burnt and stick to pan when stir frying. :). That is the common method which cooks do. When you have noodles within broth, you probably do the same, to keep noodles warm, you just need to pour hot broth onto it after cooling. :)
Oh my goodness. Dude, watching your review of this dish...it was mouthwatering! I really enjoy watching you both and this channel. I am so glad I found your channel! I believe I will be checking out your cookbooks. Which cookbook is this recipe in? 👍 ~Sharon
Looks and sounds yummy! I've never had Hong Kong style chow main. The Chinese restaurants here don't crisp the noodles - at least now the ones that I've been to. I think I would like Hong Kong style better. Not sure I believe you, Dude - "never been so hungry for The Taste". You always say your hungry! If I didn't know better, I'd think Flo doesn't feed you, but I guess it's just her cooking that makes you salivate! LOL 👍👍😀
Flo Lum Turns out didn’t make it yesterday because I was lazy to go to T&t. But we went today and got the exact chow mein you used. Also used airfryer. We all loved it!!!! The hubby said it tastes like restaurant quality!!!! I keep saying to him that without Flo we would have nothing to eat..... it would be spaghetti everyday. Thanks for giving our family so many new dishes to rotate with!
I’ve never seen chow mein served like this. I live in South Carolina and we are given veggies with whatever meat along with white rice and a small bag of deep fried noodles to put in it. I think I would prefer your way.
Flo, just thought I’d share with you as I am not sure where you ate in San Francisco. But we had that at my parents’ restaurant in SF Chinatown. They did serve the noodles in a variety of ways and pan fried was one of them.
Flo Lum that’s good to know because we do visit Vancouver every so often. Now that I live in New Hampshire, I have to ask for the pan fried noodles. Well, unless I make it at home. FYI we had your Tomato Beef over our pan fried noodles yesterday. They were delicious!
In NY (long Island) we have every type of noodle in our authentic Chinese restaurants (not the little Americanized places) Chow Mein, Lo Mein, Chow Fun, Mei Fun and more. Now I have to order this for lunch!
Hi Flo: Can you use any type of air fryer? I have a big glass type circular one. I think it's the Big Boss Air Fryer. It doesn't look like yours at all. Mine resembles a big glass bowl with the heating element in the lid facing down inside.
OMG I am drooling right now I love this dish. But when I try to make it my noodles never turn out to my liking. The airfryer who would have thought I will definitely try it in the air fryer. I am always confused as to what kind of noodles to get as we do not have fresh Chinese noodles available in my community can you give me any suggestions on dried ones that I could use? Any input would be greatly appreciated. I really like your channel I am so glad I subscribed.
Flo, I air fried my noodles w/o blanching or spraying oil because the noodles here in Malaysia was already cooked and has oil on it. It crunched superbly! No hassle.. Just load the noodles into air fryer ... mine was 5-7 mins for one portion only... used only 1 tbsp of oil for the sauce ... total satisfaction! Thanks again
Love the vids , and I'm a Vancouver native , now in Europe . Gotta ask why in 2020 , you are cooking in Fahrenheit ? Must be an American Air Fryer , over here its all Celsius . Would be nice if the appliance had the option of changing to C
Hello Flo Now i know my next crispy dish . Hope my family like it,my Kids i thing will love it. Crispy noodels and super tasty chicken or beer. Chapeu Flo. Greetings from germany.
That dish does sounds like it is very delicious and Dude seem to enjoy it and love it more than the restaurant style and I have never eaten crispy ramen noodles before, but would try it.
Great video, as always. Thanks! Being from San Francisco, I want to mention that SF restaurants serve both soft and crispy chow mein, but you need to specifically order ‘jeen meen (煎麵)’ to get the crispy version. Furthermore, restaurants may have the deep-fried or air-fried versions that are crispy through-and-through (translated as ‘hard yellow’, when ordering) or the wok-fried version that is crispy on the surface and soft inside (translated as ‘soft yellow’ or ‘both sides yellow’, when ordering). Unfortunately, the deep-fried or air-fried version is better made at home because restaurants may pre-make their ‘hard yellow’ chow mein days in advance, so those noodles often taste a bit stale. The ‘both sides yellow’ (pan-fried) version has to be made on the spot, so it will be the fresher and tastier option, when ordered in a restaurant. The ‘both sides yellow’ version also tends to have some Maillard reaction (burnt bits), which adds great flavors.
If I don't have Shaoxing wine, will a regular rice wine work? I'm not a fan of the other options you mentioned as a personal choice Btw, I love your channel
This Caucasian girl learned to make chow mien in 1989, when I was a young mom, from an elderly friend of mine, Mary Loo, that came to the US from China on a boat around 1950,. She gave birth to her first child on the way. She lived in the Chinatown of Locke in the California Delta. Your recipe is very similar. I have made it often throughout the years using fresh noodles from a local Chinese noodle factory. Fast forward to 2018 and I now live in Michoacán Mexico. No Chinese noodle factory to be found. I'll tell you how noodles come when they're not fresh. I buy them in the grocery store in the bigger city about 40 minutes from my home in a block of dried noodles. Surprisingly not awful. Much better then using spaghetti, which is what the local Chinese/Burrito joint in town uses. Nope, not good. I was so happy to see you use the air fryer. I made chow mien last week and toyed with the idea of using the air fryer but chickened out. Next time I'm gonna do it. I just discovered your channel and have enjoyed the few videos I have watched so far.
I wonder if it's possible to make the crispy noodles with peppered beef on a hot skillet that most of the Chinese (HK style) restaurants in my area serve? Make this please flo and dude!
I fry noodles in butter even elbow macaroni and it is great but it takes a lot of butter. I am going to try it in the airfryer with butter spray! I also sometimes use a little Parmesan to finish. boring but yummy with leftover noodles.
So much like take out, my mom asked me if it was. You gotta give this one a try! Happy Sunday!
Happy Sunday Flo and Dude ♥️
Please tell me a substitution for the wine! I can’t have alcohol!
@@MellieB514 Just omit it altogether, you'll be ok
While surfing the web, i came upon your wonderful and informative food channel! I made this channel my favorite, and am going back and watching every program of yours!!!
Hi Flo and Dude : you are my go-to YT channel for Asian recipes - I trust you and everything I've made turned out great!
You are FLO YUM!! Thank you!
Good to know that Dude actually prefers the noodles air fried, rather than pan fried. Thanx again for another amazing recipe. I love all the little bits of information and explanation you provide!
You, my dear lovely lady (and The Dude) are so awesome for everything you show us! A cast iron skillet in the mix! WOOOT WOOOT!! Thanks for sharing your passion for amazing and delicious food!
YES!!! Hong Kong style is the best! Love the saucy chicken over crispy/chewy noodles.
I just made the same noodle on frying pan Hawaii Chinese style “Cake noodles” ... press down and fry both sides , then cut into squares then pour sauce over top ! Thanks for the Airfryer technique ! Have a blessed Lord’s Day!
All of your recipes make my mouth water
Fresno, California has the crisp noodles.
Thanx Team Flo for making another great Cantonese dish. Yummy
I love Dude's reaction @13:35 "DUDE!.....So Good" 😂
🤣
I don’t know how I missed this recipe! We used to eat this all the time when I lived in Chicago. I see that someone else said the same thing. Now I know how to do it, so I’ll make them myself! Thanks Flo!
Looks really good! I think I will make some tomorrow. Will add baby bokchoy! Yum!
It all looks so good. Wish there was smell a vision! Going to be trying some of your recipes. Mmmmmm
I should say, now that I am on the second recipe, I can't wait to try CRISPIEST CHOW MEIN. I am looking forward to enjoying your many Food Adventures.

If you're near DC, try Tony Cheng in Chinatown.
Omg! Thanks for showing the air fryer!

Very nice, looks delish. This reminds me of when afterwork latenights we'd go down to the local chinese and get a big plate 🍜 of this. 😋😋😋
Love your recipes, simple yet delicious, easy to follow.

Tried crisping the noodles last night in the AF - Perfect, and your chicken recipe too (I sliced very fine, like in my local restaurant, and added Tinned shitake, super soft, sliced, ditto!).
THANK you for all your helpful videos . They make so hungry. Are chow mein noodles wheat or rice based?
Can't really tell which is better without trying but lookwise the airfryer looks more yummier
Mmm my favourite noodle dish! Thanks for sharing. :)
Looks good Flo! I live in Hawaii and at the Chinese restaurants if we want the noodles crisp like that we order cake noodles. Hong Kong noodles here are dry thin noodles. I love that different places have variations in Chinese styles of cooking. My Gung Gung had a restaurant and taught me to make cake noodles. I think I prefer the air fryer method!!

That is so interesting how different a dish can be depending on where you are. Looking forward to the day I will actually get to visit Hawaii! Aloha!
I really love your show. You do a great job of making me soo hungry. Lol love it. Thank you.
My misto does that too, and it’s new! It has also broken under the pump lid several times that I have glued because I can’t afford a new one. This is my second one that has done the same things.
I bought an oil mister in Dollarama. Its a year old and still working. If it fails I will just get another one for a buck. :)
Thank you for showing us how to use fry pan versiin
Catching up on some videos and my oh my does this look delicious. I've got to re-watch the beginning so I'll use the correct style noodles. It is fun to buy different kinds but then I forgot which noodle to use for which dish, haha. This will be great fun to try in the air fryer. Thank you for showing how both methods came out, that was thoughtful. You and Dude are the best team!
I recommend getting yourself the Evo oil sprayer. Each pull of the trigger sprays 1/4 teaspoon of oil.
He did makes a good point , now a day I am @ the age that I really need to watch ... what I eat so I will go for the air fryer... Thank again for pass on a healthy choice . bless your heart 🥰❤👍
Oh had no idea you were local! I will go back and leave you a great Char Siu place on that video for Char Siu.
Love your recipes! Made this without the crispy noodles, as we are low carb. I know, that’s awful, however, this was a wonderful recipe to serve over some rice, when my husband commented again on another of your recipes… 😀 Thank you !
Looks delicious can I make this without crispy noodles. 🙏🥰😊🎍🌲🎁❄☃️❤🎄

Thanks so much, Sharon! You can find this recipe in Chinese Homestyle. Link is in the description.
What’s that burner you’re frying on?
Hi Flo! I have never used an air fryer before, do you need to oil the bottom metal grid in the basket before you put the noodles on it?
My mom makes this. I so need to try this. THANK YOU SO MUCH FLO AND DUDE for creating this recipe for us. I’m so excited :)))
I cooked it!! Simply awesome!
Looks and sounds yummy! I've never had Hong Kong style chow main. The Chinese restaurants here don't crisp the noodles - at least now the ones that I've been to.

🤣 Why should I be responsible for feeding him? He’s a grown-ass man that can find his own food to eat if he’s hungry. LOL!
Hello, I have an oil mister like yours. In order to get the mister to spray, you have to periodically prime (pump) the mister😊. I love your videos.
Yep... but it’s clogged. Can’t get it clean enough to mist anymore.
Okay..... that’s what’s for dinner tonight. Thanks Flo!
Ha! Thanks, Linda!
Flo Lum Turns out didn’t make it yesterday because I was lazy to go to T&t. But we went today and got the exact chow mein you used. Also used airfryer. We all loved it!!!!

Thanks for giving our family so many new dishes to rotate with!
I made the same recipe the next day with ground beef and it’s just as good. Added more oyster sauce, soy sauce and sesame oil for more flavor.
can you crisp the noodles under the broiler?
I’ve never seen chow mein served like this. I live in South Carolina and we are given veggies with whatever meat along with white rice and a small bag of deep fried noodles to put in it. I think I would prefer your way.
My mother also would have tanned my hide if I used metal utensils in her cast iron pans, lol.
Flo, just thought I’d share with you as I am not sure where you ate in San Francisco. But we had that at my parents’ restaurant in SF Chinatown. They did serve the noodles in a variety of ways and pan fried was one of them.
We lived in SF for 5 years. We learned that you had to ask for it panfried whereas in Vancouver, that is just how it is served.
Flo Lum that’s good to know because we do visit Vancouver every so often. Now that I live in New Hampshire, I have to ask for the pan fried noodles. Well, unless I make it at home. FYI we had your Tomato Beef over our pan fried noodles yesterday. They were delicious!
i like the your way. especially u r not used to much oil / lve it
Looks fantastic
pan fry is my favourite, only because we dont have an af. btw good for you using norwex in the kitchen.
It’s looks so yummy!! Want to try this one!
In NY (long Island) we have every type of noodle in our authentic Chinese restaurants (not the little Americanized places) Chow Mein, Lo Mein, Chow Fun, Mei Fun and more. Now I have to order this for lunch!
Love all those noodles!
@@FloLum I'm learning the differences. I google them before ordering so I remember what they are LOL
Hi Flo:
Can you use any type of air fryer? I have a big glass type circular one. I think it's the Big Boss Air Fryer. It doesn't look like yours at all. Mine resembles a big glass bowl with the heating element in the lid facing down inside.
I don’t see why not but I am only familiar with the ones I am using. The element on the Philips is also on top, facing down.
@@FloLum I guess it wouldn't hurt to give it a try then! I like that I can see how brown it is through the glass.
Hong Kong style Cantonese food is heavenly. One of the reasons Hong Kong beats NYC anyday.
OMG I am drooling right now I love this dish. But when I try to make it my noodles never turn out to my liking. The airfryer who would have thought I will definitely try it in the air fryer. I am always confused as to what kind of noodles to get as we do not have fresh Chinese noodles available in my community can you give me any suggestions on dried ones that I could use? Any input would be greatly appreciated. I really like your channel I am so glad I subscribed.
Love this, Flo! Never thought the air fryer can do the job! Going to try it. Is it absolutely necessary to blanch the noodles?
Thanks, Teresa! Not sure but package says to blanch before frying. 🤷🏻♀️
Flo, I air fried my noodles w/o blanching or spraying oil because the noodles here in Malaysia was already cooked and has oil on it. It crunched superbly! No hassle.. Just load the noodles into air fryer ... mine was 5-7 mins for one portion only... used only 1 tbsp of oil for the sauce ... total satisfaction! Thanks again
OMG I am drooling... oh hi Flo, Dude and family .
🤣 Hey Myrna! 👋🏼
I'm familiar with the Hong Kong style seafood low mein with scallops and shrimp. This is still delicious.
Hi Flo and dude, you two should have a cookery show on the Food network channel. Your both down to earth and very educational. Thank you.
Absolutely delicious! 😀😀
Love the vids , and I'm a Vancouver native , now in Europe . Gotta ask why in 2020 , you are cooking in Fahrenheit ? Must be an American Air Fryer , over here its all Celsius . Would be nice if the appliance had the option of changing to C

Chicken Chow Mein is without a doubt by Favorite Asian dish!!!!!
u can achieve the same effect with a Geoge Forman grill or a panini press
Never had it with crispy noodles - I have to try it.
What are other options if fresh chow mein noodles are not available?
