Hi Wally. Great Lo mein noodle dish 👍
Can you make a video on how to make salt n pepper pork chop rice.
Thanks 🙂
Ohhh that's my favorite too Nicholas. Yes, I will put that one on my to do list, thank you for the suggestion! 🙏
@@WallyCooksEverything awesome! Looking forward to that 🙂👍
That’s a great tip!! I def wanna try this weekend.
Enjoy and have fun cooking Lisa 😆
same concept for fried rice or cooking anything in the home sized wok. Can't crowd it or the ingredients will steam and not sear...so lose whatever wok hei we try to generate....nice job Wally.....
Yes exactly brother 👍 When will you start a cooking channel? 😀 I have a feeling you are handy in the kitchen as well 😉
You’re amazing thanks for the tip
Hi Wally I saw u use art of stuff from Thailand I want to know where r u from
Hello and how are you? I’m from the US 😊
I am usually quite lazy and throw all the noodles at once to get it over and done. But it makes sense to divide the portion so it doesn't overcrowd the wok. In the past I had always added more oil to prevent from sticking and wound up with greasy lo mein. I noticed you didn't add a lot of oil which is ideal. Thank you for another awesome video.
Hello! Hey, whatever works for you and you're happy and it taste good to you is all that matters 😆 I didn't have to add a lot of oil because my wok is seasoned really well. Through the years it's built up a layer of built in oil 😁 So if your wok or pan is not seasoned well you may have to add a bit more oil.
You're welcome 😀 Thank you for watching and commenting, I appreciate it 🙏
This looks so good. I don't love mushrooms. If I make this lo mein without the mushrooms, will it taste bad?
Will be fine without mushrooms Laura, so no worries 😉
@@WallyCooksEverything thank you. 😊
Anytime 😃
Why did you leave one shrimp in the wok after removing all the others?
Hi Greg, I can’t remember, made this video while ago. But probably was saving it for my cats. They go crazy when they smell shrimp 😀
Maybe you should have soaked the chicken in the orange 🍊 juice
The thing with this dish is after you made it, you realize you still have almost a whole head of napa cabbage left and a whole bag of bean sprouts left because they don't sell cabbage and bean sprouts by the cups.
Hello! I buy my produce at a local wet/dry market. They sell small cabbages and small portions of bean sprouts. Whatever I have leftover I used it to make a beef lo mein video afterwards. And what I had lever over from that my wife made a Thai soup.
If there's an Asian supermarket or grocery shop near you I think they should be able to sell you small portions of bean sprouts as well. When I was still living in NYC the Chinese stores sold that way too.
Other than that, perhaps just make a bunch of lo mein noodles, stick them in your fridge and you've got a few days worth of food 😁 Thanks for watching and commenting, take care!
Just grow your own, they're easy to grow, too. I just started another batch and by growing my own, I can adjust how much I make...
Hey someone got a new do!
😂😂😂😂 I told my barber just do whatever. And he did...
@@WallyCooksEverything He did an amazing job, just like your dish!
(You're subbies are growing... Says a whole lot with your dedication to this channel)
BTW, I followed your technique with one of your dish and it turned out more than perfect!
@@santolify aww thank you 🙏 My channel is growing due to nice friendly people like you 😃
5:07. I am waiting for you to scoup tbat shrimp out but you didnt. I know some street food chef intented to leave some behind because of superstitious. What is your reason?
Nice hair cut Mr. wally.
Hello! No not a superstition 😆 I just left it in to see how much it would shrink. But for some reason that shrimp didn't shrink at all 😂
@@WallyCooksEverything :). Yeah cuz you said you dont want to cook the shrimp 80% done, so I was just wondering why u left one shrimp in there. Haha. :)
@@La__Rat hahaha 😆 I was eyeing that shrimp too ! All the time until it got swallowed up by the noodles 🤣🤣Was wondering, perhaps Wally didn’t notice it🤪🥺.
Thank you so much I can’t wait to make it for my family. Keep up the great work 🫶
THANK YOU for sharing these delicious, helpful tips, exactly what I was looking for 🎉🎉
looks good Wally
Thanks Gilbert 👍
your recipes are the only ones that turn out well when i do them :D i always tune it a bit with msg and in this case for shrimps a little bit extra lemon juice
Thanks Marv!
💜💜💜💜👍👍👍👍👍👍i see no msg.....in the UK its. In all the takeaways food. That's one reason you can't get same flavor was your local💜💜💜💜👍👍👍👍i use in my café ..it's all about about the msg
Hello! I don't have anything against MSG, I do use it but depends on what I'm cooking. My recipes are based on the foods I ate while growing up and eating around NYC's Chinatown. There's a restaurant that had mostly Chinese customers and they made delicious lo mein but no MSG. Good luck with your cafe business, I had one before in Bangkok and it was quite a lot of work 😂
Delicious! Gonna try to make this tonight!
Enjoy brother! 👍
LOL you burnt one shrimp!!!
No one is perfect 😆 Thank you for watching and commenting, take care!
How come no one says what kind of oil
Hello Regina 😀 For Chinese food, whether in restaurants or homes, peanut oil, corn oil, canola oil, vegetable oils are used. That said, it's best to use oils that don't have flavors such as olive oil. In my future videos I'll try to remember to say what oils I'm using 😆
Dude...looks like you got a haircut !
Yeah this is the second time I went to this barber but this time I told him to do whatever. I don’t hate it and I don’t blame him. I’m getting older so my hair doesn’t get fuller just longer 😂 By the way thank you very much for the generous coffee, I really appreciate it bro 😃
@@WallyCooksEverything it’s all good. GoPros (or even the knockoffs) ain’t cheap....
