      John 6:40 “For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”” ROMANS 10:9-11“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame”
      God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is Son of God who died for our sins on the cross, we are saved from the eternal fire and have eternal life in Christ Jesus!! 💖 May God bless y’all!!

    I'm an accomplished cook, and I know a good bit about international cuisine and cooking. With that said, I've never come across chuck being cooked this way. I am astounded that it can be so tender.
    I am well aware of cutting across the grain with skirt and flank steak, but I have honestly never heard of this technique with chuck. Typically, in US cuisine, we are taught that chuck, being the shoulder, is the second toughest, meaning high collagen content, cut of meat...right after shank. Both of which must be cooked low and very slow to create a tender meat (like a perfect pot roast or oso bucco).
    I am ASTOUNDED that such a technique creates "a velvety tender beef". You learn something every day. Thanks for sharing. :-)

  • @tiffsaver

    LOVE you recipes!!! I've used nearly all of them, and they ALL come out great.
    Just one little tip I've learned. I can't afford steak (anymore), so I just use the cheap cuts of beef, which are about as tender as a fillet of hunting boot. So here's my "secret." I take a full cup of water, add TWO TABLESPOONS of baking soda, then add the strips of meat, individually, until fully covered. Then I let it sit in the fridge for TWO FULL HOURS. Then I drain out all the water, and then I rinse the meat to remove the bad taste of the baking soda. With this technique, the meat is as tender as the most expensive filet mignon. Works for me:)

    This is such a simple but impressive recipee. So many good tips. I start cooking before wok is hot enough to temper the oil. You should also have mentioned how you remove the noodles from the hot water by spinning them first with a chop stick - clever! A mistake I have been making all my life is to start with cooking the onions - no wonder they end up being too mushy. Your onions will be slightly crunchy, but evenly coated with caramelised oils.
    One thing that really shocked me when I first visited China is that Chinese people really 'slurp' their food, even when attending posh banquets! Sucking food noisily into your mouth shows enthusiasm and appreciation of the flavours.

    Forget the nasty comments from the Karens below. They probably run around the web just trying to find someone to take out their frustrations on - no positive aspects probably in their own lives. On to your recipe. I've been cooking Chinese recipes now for several years, and am still learning, but most of the copy cat recipes on websites are just that -- and done by people who don't seem to want to present how some of these dishes are really done. I'd like to compliment you for your presentation style and for the many good tips you passed on to viewers just within the recipe demo itself. You mentioned the difference here between "steamed" chow mein and lo mein. You advised people how to keep their meats from sticking -- the basics for all - heating the wok first, then . . . . . , you even taught your viewers one way to "velvet" the beef without making it seem like something different. Bottom line you kept the recipe simple but flavorful. You used Lo Mein noodles, fresh even, and you did it Asian style. I'm not Asian myself, but I love good Asian food and the many techniques you touched on here were great even though they went over the head of the negative Karens. Thanks for the video - keep up the good work.

He gave sauce to go with them. His wife made the sauce. I watched her a few times. 3 ingredients I think. Ketchup, soy sauce and some white water that maybe had corn thickener and maybe horse radish. These were delicious 1 egg roll was a great meal. The sauce was incredible. Last time I was near there I went but found that Tam had died. Many people miss his food. Tams Catonese food! Wonderful

    Mandy, this was the first recipe of yours I tried. I just made it tonight. I had to make some substitutions based on what I had and the vegetables my family likes (I used pork cutlets cut into strips, and I used bok choy and a red pepper. I cooked the pork first until almost done and removed it, then cooked bok choy stems and red pepper. Started cooking the noodles at the same time as the vegetables and when they were done I added the pork back, turned off heat and added noodles, bok choy leaves, and sauce) and I just have to say: WOW! It was delicious, the kids loved it too, and I was impressed that the simple ingredients produced such great flavour and tender meat!
    Thank you!

  • @jonlangfitt

    Chuck is probably one of my favorite cuts. I smoke chuck steak low and slow as well as chuck roasts. I live in the Siouxland area, so our beef has a lot of intramuscular fat so our chuck tends to be a bit more tender. I find the texture and flavor to be better than round or sirloin. It's also really good for stew.
