Wally I can’t believe you don’t have 1 million + subscribers. Your recipes are spot on, well organized, and delicious. You never throw in weird things for the heck of it.
I live in Idaho. There is no such thing as authentic Chinese food here. Yes I love it here but I guess I'm going to have to learn how to cook Chinese food myself. You make it crystal clear and easy. Thanks. I'm building up my courage. . .
Hello Tom 😀 No worries you can easily make authentic Chinese food at home, it’s quite easy to do as long as you have the right sauces and a bit of cooking technique shown in video. No need to build courage 😉 you’ll do just fine 👍
@@WallyCooksEverything Hey Wally, thanks for the kind words and please make a show about all the spices, sauces and oils that you need for a well stocked Asian kitchen. I'm so happy that I found your show, but am a little bit frustrated that I don't have all the ingredients when I see a new recipe. Yep, make a show about a well stocked Asian kitchen! You know about this, we live in Idaho don't have a clue but can buy most things you recommend on the internet so we'll be good.
I see your kitchen is very tiny, I don’t know where you live but I really love and appreciate how even with a small kitchen made a RUclips channel to show the world these great recipes. We all make so many excuses In life but you didn’t when many people would have. I’ll be making this recipe tonight it looks delicious! Thank you
Thanks! 😀 I always tell people I cook out of a Swedish prison cell. And yes brother, we do the best with what we got 😆 Thank you for watching and commenting, I appreciate it 👍
Wow Wally me and familia love beef lo mein noodles you are such a great person willing to share your recipes to all what a blessing love watching your shows great job chef we love you
I made this beef lo mein tonight because we like your chicken version Your beef recipe is delicious. Now that I've learned about marinating meats with baking soda, they all turn out as tender as the restaurant dishes. Thanks for another great recipe, Wally.
I had to look up squirrel fish I never heard about it 😂 I dunno about that one, I’m bad at sculpting. But maybe I will try cause looks so interesting 😆😆
I love both 😃 But there was a Chinese restaurant in NYC every table had Tabasco sauce. I would drown everything I ate there with Tabasco especially lo mein. Like they say old habits die hard 😆
Hi, thanks for trying out my recipe. The reason why I think you've got extra moisture is because your wok has to be hotter. The fire I have at home is hot. So heat up your wok or pan really hot.
I made lo mein last night. It didn't come out at all how I expected. It was more like a stir fry with a lot of noodles 😅 Now I know where I went wrong. I didn't marinate the beef, nor do I have dark soy sauce. And I think I made too much at once. I'm going to try ot again with this method.
@WallyCooksEverything yes, sometimes its trial and error. I put some yaki soba sauce in it last night and put it back in the wok, and that helped. It actually looked and tasted more like that lo mein from resturants. Im going to pick up a bottle of dark soy sauce.
Hey Gilbert how’s it going? 🙏 light soy sauce is saltier and and the liquid is thinner. Dark soy is a bit more thick less salty, slightly sweeter and depending on brand has burnt caramel taste. Dark soy sauce is really important as it provides the dark color 👍
Nice video. Tabasco does rock. Heat with flavor. Frank's Red Hot too. Not a rip your lips off, turn your stomach into a nuclear reactor and your backside a flame thrower that hasn't been lit. Great on eggs as well. Tip for apt dwellers that have safety electric burners. ( you know, the one's that take an hour to boil water) Use cast iron or all metal wok. Preheat in oven to desired temp. Then bring up to preheated stove top. Just please be sure you have heavy duty mitts, pot holders and handle sleeves are great. But it rocks on steaks as well. Thanks for the tips. Just getting into Asian cuisine at home. Loving it except for the stove. 👍👍
Hi B! How's it going? 😀 Yes! a good cast iron pan is the best for heat. My parents had a cast iron wok. It was really heavy. As the years past it got too heavy for my mom to use. So eventually I think she threw it away but I was not living at home at the time. If I knew that was going to happen I would've taken it 😔 But you've got some great tips about sticking the wok in oven first 👍
Hello! Use flank steak. It is the traditional cut of beef used for Chinese stir fry 😀👍 Thank you for watching and commenting! Do let me know how it turns out if you give it a try!
There are numerous Asian grocery stores where I live, but I have never found noodles that are labeled expressly for lo mein. Is there anything else I can look for on a label?
Hi Christian, Japanese Yakisoba noodles will work well too. Also it could be because there's no labels on the package. Usually Asian supermarkets buy in bulk and separate into smaller bags. I'm not sure if you asked them already. But if not, go and ask for noodles to make lo mein. Lo mein noodles are a staple in Asian groceries so it's gotta be there 😀 some where.
Thanks Liz 😃 Usually for Chinese restaurant stir fry we use flank steak. Because it is cheaper cut of meat yet still tender and flavorful especially when cut thin. That said you can use rib eye or sirloin at home if you choose to 😃
@@WallyCooksEverything sweet! I was close! 🤗 Thank you so much for your advice. I want to try this & a few other things like pho. I’m really nervous but I want to do this the right way. Thank you for posting this video. Definitely going to subscribe! Hoping to try this out really soon.
At Chinese restaurants it’s typically flank steak. Which is fine as it’s a good tender piece of meat when sliced thin. Otherwise at home you can use whatever you wish, sirloin and even rib eye is absolutely fine. For me at home I use whatever I find on sale at the supermarket 😆
Why don't you combine all the sauce ingredients into a small bowl, so it'll be ready to be poured straight into the wok, without pausing/ turning off the stove.. That way would be much more organized, neat, and easy smooth cooking process.
Hi, how's it going? I would say about 90% Chinese home cooks don't premix when cooking at home. 100% of my family don't premix. And 99% Chinese chefs and cooks in restaurants don't premix either. Sometimes in my videos I premix but I do that so folks can follow along. Also one less item to wash 😆 plus once you cook this enough times you'll know exactly how much to add from bottle 👍 This is a terrific question by the way. I know you're not the only one with this question. Lots of folks asked me the same question. Which gives me an idea to write a post 😀
Can anyone tell me why no matter where i get my pepper steak it has a fishy after taste . It use to be my favorite thing to order till noticed this after taste .
Wait until your pan is really hot. Add oil thoroughly coat pan. Add beef and quickly spread it around. Then leave it alone for like 10 seconds. Cause you have to give time for beef to sear. After 10 seconds just lift a piece of beef up to check if it comes off the pan easy. If it does then go ahead and cook the other side. Hope this helps you out 😃
My problem is the noodles always smell and taste like fish!! I have tried 2 fresh brands, 1 frozen, and 1 dry and they always have a funky taste to them 😭
Wally I can’t believe you don’t have 1 million + subscribers. Your recipes are spot on, well organized, and delicious. You never throw in weird things for the heck of it.
Aww thank you so much. I just cook the way I had at the Chinese restaurants I grew up with ☺️

I know. This guy is incredible. Why doesn’t he have 1M subscribers?
My family couldn’t stop eating this!! I accidentally added 1 Tablespoon of dark soy sauce instead of 1 teaspoon. It still was awesome! Thank you!!
Aww thanks Lynne, my favorite comments are those where families are enjoying my recipes :)
Thanks.
Thank you chef Wally!

Hey wally, checking on in! Awesome video! Make squirrel fish next!!!

"Just don't use the ones that make you hallucinate"
Looool
Wally - another great cooking class video! Question: do you ever use Sriracha sauce instead of Tabasco?
I love both 😃 But there was a Chinese restaurant in NYC every table had Tabasco sauce. I would drown everything I ate there with Tabasco especially lo mein. Like they say old habits die hard 😆
@@WallyCooksEverythingThanks much - I have to say that I prefer Tabasco over Sriracha myself, too!
Yummy
Man that looks so good!!!!
Very nice , i made chixken lo mien yeasterday good but kinda soupy lol i noticed yours wasnt soupy just right , ill put less liquids next time
Hi, thanks for trying out my recipe. The reason why I think you've got extra moisture is because your wok has to be hotter. The fire I have at home is hot. So heat up your wok or pan really hot.
Excellent 👍👍👍👍
good
I believe you actualy made chow mein...more like a stir fry noodle since you didnt turn off the heat once you introduced the noodle.
yummy
But what if the mushrooms that make you hallucinate are all I have ):
I made lo mein last night. It didn't come out at all how I expected. It was more like a stir fry with a lot of noodles 😅 Now I know where I went wrong. I didn't marinate the beef, nor do I have dark soy sauce. And I think I made too much at once. I'm going to try ot again with this method.
Hi Robin, yes dark soy sauce is super important 😆 for this recipe. It’s
good that you try again, it’s the only way to learn from mistakes ✌️
@WallyCooksEverything yes, sometimes its trial and error. I put some yaki soba sauce in it last night and put it back in the wok, and that helped. It actually looked and tasted more like that lo mein from resturants. Im going to pick up a bottle of dark soy sauce.
Sooooo yummy 😍😍
Thank you 🙏
Nice
Thank you Ritchie 👍

@@WallyCooksEverything Thank you and I will!
This is actually more like chow-mein than lo-mein just based on how long you are cooking the noodles in the pan.
Isn't chow mein over crispy noodles?
There are numerous Asian grocery stores where I live, but I have never found noodles that are labeled expressly for lo mein. Is there anything else I can look for on a label?
Hi Christian, Japanese Yakisoba noodles will work well too. Also it could be because there's no labels on the package. Usually Asian supermarkets buy in bulk and separate into smaller bags.

What kind of “beef?” Is it a skirt steak, ribeye sliced???? Otherwise, it looks amazing.
Thanks Liz 😃 Usually for Chinese restaurant stir fry we use flank steak. Because it is cheaper cut of meat yet still tender and flavorful especially when cut thin. That said you can use rib eye or sirloin at home if you choose to 😃

I have those same chopsticks. I'm not a fan, I ended up ordering a square set.

Please remove the blue plastic wrap from your vent hood. Great recipe!
Lol yeah it's I took it off already. It's an older video. I actually thought it was part of the hood until grease started peeling it off 😀
Can anyone tell me why no matter where i get my pepper steak it has a fishy after taste . It use to be my favorite thing to order till noticed this after taste .
Hmmm I’m guessing they used too much baking soda on beef. Restaurants use baking soda to soften beef but if overdone can taste funny.
@@WallyCooksEverything ok thx . You are probably right .
to much fish sauce
You r NY funny!🤪
I rode the NYC subway train for many, many years. So smelling pee in the subways 5 - 6 times a week makes us kinda strange 🤪
No garlic or ginger?
Sorry it's no from me
Add anything you like in recipes, it’s never in stone to do it one way. Customize to your liking & taste. Good luck & enjoy! 🙏🏾
I added garlic to my hamburger. Wally always says to customize the dishes to your liking. This recipe was awesome! I hope you try it!
U dont put sugar
Hello, how’s it going? Don’t need to. I prefer salty over sweet. But you can most certainly add some if you wish 👍
I was wondering the same thing when I researched recipes. You really don’t need the sugar! This recipe is delicious!
Black peper
OMG Tabasco really sacrilege
My beef created a thick stuck on mess 😮
Wait until your pan is really hot. Add oil thoroughly coat pan. Add beef and quickly spread it around. Then leave it alone for like 10 seconds. Cause you have to give time for beef to sear. After 10 seconds just lift a piece of beef up to check if it comes off the pan easy. If it does then go ahead and cook the other side. Hope this helps you out 😃
My problem is the noodles always smell and taste like fish!! I have tried 2 fresh brands, 1 frozen, and 1 dry and they always have a funky taste to them 😭
Don't say grams.
Really u put a cat at the beginning of ur video ..... Chinese already has a bad wrap WTF
But I don’t eat cats and dogs. I did eat rat once.
No money
what cutvof beef is THAT??
Hi 😃 Use flank steak, but you can use sirloin or even ribeye. But I use flank steak because relatively cheap and I can make the beef tender.
@@WallyCooksEverything thank you so much
