Love your website and your RUclips videos. Made at least 15 of your recipes some of them hundreds of times. 7 or 8 years ago I bought a $30 carbon steel wok and a spatula, and practically lived off your recipes exclusively. But my health took a turn for the worse in the last year and I've been in a nursing home and the food here is awfull I miss all of your recipes so much.. I thank all of you at the woks of life for everything you taught me and everything you've shared with others
We're so sorry to hear that you've been unwell! Glad you've found our videos! Wishing you all the best ♥And at the very least, we're glad you were able to do some cooking with us before!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR CONVERSATION WITH YOUR MOM!!! My Momma passed years ago so I always envy & love it when I see scenes like this!!! I love your family channel & being diabetic I hope to change my health out!!! Thank you again for your fabulous recipes!!!!!
Talking about the 70’s, I remember when I was a kid, Friday night was Fish and Chip night or Chinese night. If it was Chinese night, Mum would grab her big pot and we would take it down to the local Chinese shop, and we would order Chicken Chop Suey and special fried rice, and crispy noodles and we would take our big full pot of chop suey back home and have a feast. Aaahhh they were the days in Australia. 🇦🇺 nice and simple 😊………Also thank you for your in depth information your recipes are top notch 👏👏👍
FAV Chinese dish of all time! Your dishes look so good, I wish I lived by your restaurant bc I'd be there all the time! Thanks for sharing your recipes & teaching your techniques! I'm always so excited when I see you've posted another one!
This reminds me of our favorite hole-in-the-wall family restaurant that was in the neighborhood I grew up in the SF Bay Area "Moon's Chinese Kitchen." _Chop Suey_ was a favorite.
My parents (especially my dad) called almost all stir fried dishes chop suey back in the day. This was a staple at our Midwest home. I know what we made was not even close to traditional, but it was better than our regular hamburger helper dinners. He also put the fried chow mein noodles on just about any Chinese dish. Still does, haha. Thanks for the content. Love this channel!
Have been following you guys for a long time, and for the last 6 to 8 months have really started to cook many of the recipes, the chop suey is one of our favorites. We got so rapt up with the food we are now waiting for our copy of your cook book. Keep up the good work and have a safe and very HAPPY CHRISTMAS from our family in Tasmania to yours in USA👌👌👌
heheh there were probably trends of Chinese restaurant names! Now it seems like there's always a "Hunan Wok". In the 90s it was "Number 1" or "New Number 1" 😂
You can find it at Chinese restaurant supply stores-search for your local Chinatown. You can also buy one from KK Discount, a local NYC shop that sells woks! Check them out! www.kkdiscount.com/ they ship!
In all of the Chinese-American cooking videos have seen, have seen None that mentions/features crispy Gau Gee Mein. Is that just a Hawaii -exclusively regional created dish. IMO... It's my personal, go-to Chinese dish... A-L-O-H-A from Hawaii
Sounds like you're looking for this! Gai see chow mein, thewoksoflife.com/pan-fried-noodles-w-chicken-gai-see-chow-mein/ but it might have a different name among Hawaiian Chinese folks. We recently posted a Chicken Chow Mein video where we briefly talk about the differences on crispy noodle dishes: ruclips.net/video/bRungB3F3Kw/видео.htmlsi=bSQV36nFlYs-z1g_
It cooks very quickly and the other ingredients are added before the garlic can burn. You can always add the garlic later if you want more of a raw garlic flavor though!
Man the amount of light you have in your kitchen makes me so jealous. Also the wok burner and size of space and your knowledge of Mandarin. And your general jauntiness. Love it. ❤❤❤❤❤
I don't understand why this man doesn't have at the very least 200k subs. Blows my mind
Thank you! Spread the word :)

Yes, I get super excited when a restaurant has chop suey. It was my favorite as a kid in the 70s❤
I'm old enough to remember Chinese American restaurants in the '60's and '70's and I loved everything! Thanks!
Cool jazz played in the background and Chop Suey, what a combination!👍

Yum that reminds me of my mom she used to cook chop suey❤
Love chop suey
Yum!! Thank you.
I remember growing up in the 90s in Chicago. Lots of restaurants were called chop suey king.

Wow! Good stuff where can I get a wok like yours?

How do Chop Suey and Subgum differ or are they actually the same dish?
WOW....

When I asked for chop suey the waiter’s eyes lit up. I couldn’t understand why until now.
takes a real one to recognize a real one!
Doesn't' the garlic burn if. you put it in so early?>
It cooks very quickly and the other ingredients are added before the garlic can burn. You can always add the garlic later if you want more of a raw garlic flavor though!
👍
What are the ingredients used in the sauce?
You can find all the ingredients at the recipe link in the description :)
Man the amount of light you have in your kitchen makes me so jealous. Also the wok burner and size of space and your knowledge of Mandarin. And your general jauntiness. Love it. ❤❤❤❤❤
General jauntiness is what we're here for! 😂
