This series heavily reinforces my main argument for learning to cook. Stop blowing racks on simple food when you can crush it at home
Also you know what's in it. Here they always put Paprika in everything 🤮
@@TeylaDex Paprika in chinese food ? Haiyaaa
@@dask7428 don't ask me, it's disgusting
Exactly! When I do eat out i try to order things i would not make myself at home or things that I know are alot of work or have rare ingredients that are hard to get.
@@michellezevenaar you get it, Michelle! I will gladly pay for time and resources for incredible food. But always feel like it’s highway robbery buying stuff like chicken lo mein!
I tried the recipe but it cost me $90 to buy everything. They didn’t let me buy .27 of soy sauce
fr tho. Like I can’t be buying .28 grams of corn starch I have to buy a $15 container of it.
I had to buy a house so I could have a kitchen to cook, $500k
I had to buy a prosthetic arm so I can cook this dish, $100k
You can make this recipe like 50 times now :)
By far the dumbest comment I have seen on RUclips. Did you buy 90 usd worth of groceries for one damn meal? Weirdo
My son is 16. He and my blacksmith husband can eat $60 worth of food at Panda Express and still want more. I'm totally going to master this and bury them in it! Thanks so much for the vid. Love ya.
I hope you've mastered the chow mein now :D
Chow Mien or Fried Noodle is literally one of the most versatile dish in Asian families. You can almost add or switch up any carbs, veggie or protein you like to this recipe and it will still taste good. Just the sequence.
I really like this “but cheaper” series. Josh is an obviously talented guy and I think these videos are helpful, especially with the cost of food going up. Thank you for doing this!

Hey Joshua I'm a huge fan of yours and especially this series,I'm even thinking of trying a few recipes as I'll soon be in the UK for my further studies,i would love to know how a given set of 10-20 ingredients can make the most recipes with a few add ons and accompaniments,like a menu any student can afford to make from scratch thus keeping costs low,hope you see this comment,thanks,keep up the great content 💯💯🙌🏼🙌🏼
I have been learning cooking hands on through this channel for the past 2 years. My advice? Start now.
That's a perfect advertisement for his book. SERIOUSLY BUY HIS BOOK! It's written to that.
Not a complete answer to your question, but buying rice and pasta in bulk and experimenting with different rice and pasta dishes helps me in not spending too much money while still eating delicious and healthy meals
This! 👆i see comments saying that that’s exactly what’s in his book, but still I’d love if Joshie did a whole video on like planning a weeks worth of meals with some basic ingredients, a But Cheaper series ofc 😅
watch this guy called Life of Boris. His videos are comedic and his recipes might seem dumb but it really works
I made this today and it came out perfect!!! I have found that using exactly the same ingredients as Papa always works best 😊 I also play the video and follow him step by step and I haven't failed yet!!!
I did it with udon and fried egg. Air fried some tofu with soy sauce, sesame oil marinade, added corn starch to the tofu for crispiness. Was delicious thank you sir.
Just tried this recipe with my new carbon steel wok from Made-in. Let me just say, I don’t ever want to order chicken chow mein at another restaurant. This is hands down my new favorite recipe to make at home! Thank you Josh! You make these videos super helpful, fun to watch and entertaining!

I got a wok for Christmas, I’ll be trying all your wok recipes this year!
Don't forget to season it 😉
Fun fact that I only recently learned the fond on a wok is called wok hei.
Remember to blast it to season, and don't skip having all ingredients ready before cooking. I burned a few things before...
Do you have a gas burner to go with it? I super highly suggest one!
@@KRYMauL but...that's not what wok hei is... 😕
Made this with the vegetables I had available, and it was so good. Probably one of the best chowmein dishes I've had, and I eat a lot of Chinese food. The only thing I did differently was season my chicken with salt and pepper. Wasn't sure if you forgot to mention seasoning the meat, but I always do. Thanks for helping me up my chowmein game!
Thanks so much for taking the time to add the metric conversions. Makes such a difference to us Aussies wanting to replicate your awesome meals.
I learned to make this dish a few months ago and it has been a staple in my home. Super easy with a wok and quite versatile using different combos of veg and protein.
For stir frys my preference is to pre-slice everything before the wok is hot just so you dont have to go back and forth
i usually prep stuff into containers based on when it gets chucked in and its on the counter by the stove and i just dump/remove as needed
just my preference though but he recommends it at 2:54 and I swear by it.
Yes, yes, yes!
Prep *everything* first.
When that gas stove is turned up, time flies and things can burn!
Rules to live by, no matter what you cook imo. I always prep everything possible before I even start heating a pot or pan up.
Mise en place
Yup! That’s why deli containers are so nice. Easy to store, easy to wash and there are covers!
That is standard operating procedure for any stir fry. Everything ready because once you start it goes fast...
I made this 4 times this week 😁
We don’t have chow mein noodles so I had to improvise and made it once with a packet of ramen noodles, twice with whole wheat pasta and once with regular pasta , might not be authentic but I did the best I can 🥹 I love it !
Any type of rice noodles work pretty well also ☺️
Don't eat too much of it, it causes indigestion and in general the flour used to make chowmin is not good for the body. Keep it down to once a month maybe
@@suryanshsharan4397no thanks
@@suryanshsharan4397 i think that's a myth. normal people can eat bread and pasta every day without issue. the biggest concern should be carb intake.
its a different story if you have family history of celiac disease. intollerance to gluten causing allergic reaction in the guts. it will give you a bad time.
Say that to the chinese people who are 50 and look like 30 😂@@suryanshsharan4397
Made this for some friends today. Thankfully, they helped me with the prep cutting. It went over really well. They loved the dish.
There is something to be said about having a wok, though. Even using my largest teflo coated non-stick pan, you really begin to notice the mass of food you're dealing with once you add the noodles, especially at high heat. Might look into the woks made for convection ovens.
A decent-sized wok is a really excellent investment, I got mine when I was 23 and there are very few dishes I *don't* cook in it, obviously Asian dishes, curries etc, but I also use it to make a big batch of chilli, meat sauce, paella, risotto, it's like having a frying pan that doubles as a stew pot, especially if you can get one that comes with a lid. Best money I've ever spent, plus they are surprisingly easy to clean as long as you take care of it right away (even if you leave all the other dishes, be sure to rinse out the wok if it's the one thing you do), the non-stick on them is impeccable as long as you season them as shown in the video and only wash by hand as you would a cast iron. I recommend going big or going home, I've never regretted it as most dishes made in a wok freeze well, and if you ever do host for more than one or two people, you'll always have a pan that will do the job :)
I actually JUST made it with some minor tweaks (due to my grocery store cheating me on a few things). No "chow mein" noodles, so I went with packaged udon (dry) and snow peas instead of bean sprouts. This was the first "youtube food" I ever made that met EVERYONE'S expectations at home. I tried a particular person's approach to brownies, but it wasn't everyone's favorite, this however allowed me to do some awesome things today. My sister didn't pass her driver's test, the instructor made some inappropriate comments so I ran to the store to grab these as a surprise gift after her crappy day. She had the biggest grin on her cheeks knowing that despite following this recipe, for the liberties I made, I actually made something filling, fun, and easy in the kitchen. Thanks Josh, you helped this weakass 26 year old college kid actually cook today.

I've been using this recipe for last year, at least 2-3 times a month. I just simplify it a bit. Sometimes I use spaghetti noodles and 100% of times I use frozen vegetables. Once I meal prepped this for a whole week in an hour :D Love it! The sauce does the job.
I have been using this recipe with day old spaghetti noodles and it is definitely a good use of leftovers.

Easy to follow and gives alternatives too.
Here in Greece all the products at the super market have gone up in price and take outs even more.
Keep it up and thank you 😁
Just made this recipe and it is hands down the best Chow Mein I have ever made at home! Technique is everything and I was only missing green onions (essential I know) but this is a winner! Keep up the great work Josh!
I’ve just received Your book for Christmas and I’m in love! Making food using Your own preps, like herb butters, or stock actually makes a huge difference. Thank You for all the content!
Nice
I got it too! Jealous you've already committed to making your own stock, I 100% recommend that pickled red onion near the front of the book, it will now be permanently occupying a space in my fridge
Are you reading my mind???? This is THE recipe I've been hoping you would make!! Thanks Josh! 🌹
My first attempt at making this and wow, was it ever worth it! Super delicious and easy. Plus I now have a few dinners I can quickly reheat. Subscribed!
The addition of the raw garlic towards the end really brightens the dish and adds a pop of freshness that's incredible!
It's worth noting that you can totally use different meats in this (missed if he said that), and any veggies you have available, just cut small or sliced thinly. Great way to use up what you have in the fridge. 🥰
The chop suey approach. ❤
Josh, you should make a series called: ''But faster'', because unfortunatly, not many people have the time to cook all your amazing meals.
People have time. You're just not managing your time well. Or just prioritizing other things instead of cooking.
@@crawlingfingers just because someone does not have time, doesn’t mean that they’re not managing their time correctly.
This wont really work alot tho as you have to cook stuff for a certain amount of time for alot of stuff
@@crawlingfingers pleeeeeeaaaasssseee tell me your joking
Make time and enjoy. This particular meal doesn't take long. It's delicious too. Much better than processed and junk food
Thank you for showing us how to do this -- so cheaply. Makes me want to cook it very soon and become an expert on cooking this item. Because I love this so much.
Just made this for the family (a few substitutions were needed) and it came out great. Thanks!
This receipe is amazing, I would recomend to stir fry the noodles by themselves a minute and toss the sauce in that point so the noodles soak that beauty, then add the garlic and minced ginger if you like, stir and throw everything on top an mix mix mix, so good
You’re the one who got me into cooking and I really enjoy it thanks so much Josh!! I’ll have to buy your book!
anytime i feel down joshua just lightens up the mood.....he's great.
Based on current prices in a major city in Canada, the estimated cost for the ingredients in this recipe is around $20-$25. However, the cost may vary depending on the brand and quality of the ingredients, as well as the region and store where they are purchased.
Please do ‘but expensive’, where you make a cheap dish as fancy and expensive as possible. That would be fun to watch.

Getting a wok with a cover after I broke my pan when I was in uni changed my cooking game. I used it for EVERYTHING: from fried rice to pancakes to stews. I did not have any other pan or pot (apart from my rice cooker) for all 3 years and I cooked my meals almost every day. It is cheaper to just get one wok and use it for everything; you CAN use it for everything.
I finally made this. Followed your recipe completely. It’s honestly THE BEST chicken lo mein I have ever had in my life. The only difference is I used dark soy sauce near the end to get a good color but my god… so good!!!

Honestly, this is what i love about cooking for cheap. While i love seeing people cook with amazing quality caviar and wagyu beef, I feel so much more respect for the chef when they can make an amazing meal out of cheap ingredients that anyone can get instead of making an amazing meal out of ingredients that might they rely more on quality ingredients instead of quality cooking.
quality ingredients goes a long way. i wouldnt knock that off.
like if you used cheap 49ct ramen noodles packs instead of some higher quality noodles like joshua used, your dish could be a bit bodyless because of the cheap ramen noodles consistency.
and idk, you dont eat wagyu or caviar everyday. these are special food items not meant to be eaten every day.
these are special experiences.
In many cases though, "quality" is bullshit. It's a sliding spectrum of how rich people justify being "better."
It used to be lobster was prison food in the Philippines. Then rich people altered the perception.
Ox tails used to be Asian and poor black American food, real cheap. Now the price is ridiculous.
My mother has been looking for "feed corn" for decades, but all that gets grown in the US now is sweet corn, which she isn't a big fan of... I like it, but I don't always want my corn sweet, and I'd like it fresh rather than shoved into bags to be frozen.
How often do you eat "quality ingredients" throughout your life? Do you understand the work that gets put in? What about the waste?
Seriously, look into Japanese specialty fruit. I donxt give a fuck how much work you put in, charging 26 dollars for a pear grown in a Buddha mold or auctioning 10 watermelons for $8,000 while purposely cutting and eliminating the others from the vine for a half a year is criminal.
I made this for dinner tonight and its straight fire. Thank you for bestowing this knowledge on me.
This legit look delish. And it looks like something straight out of a Chinese take away, which is the kind of chow mein I've wanted to emulate for a long time. So I'm totally going to give this a shot.
This looks delicious I definitely will be making this. I just want to say your cookbook is amazing! It is very well thought out and I love the layout of everything all the images are great as well. I can hear you saying the words as I read it. Congratulations on a wonderful book!

Looks so good. Gonna have to try it! Would you be able to put the macros per meal (fat, protein, carbs, total cals) in future videos like this? Consistently awesome content !
I'd love to see a But Healthier series, where instead of focusing on making delicious dishes cheaper, you make delicious dishes healthier and keep track of the macros.
That's a great idea! I hope he takes you up on it.
This dish looks healthy.
ethan chlebowski does something like that. He makes food and then tries to find alternatives or things you can cut down on to make it healthier but keep the flavor.
Look into Greg Doucette and Remington James and there are also a few others. Just search your favorite fast food or meal with the word “anabolic” and your life will be forever changed.
I broke this dish down and if you serve it into 4 portions it'll be 480/500 calories.
I actually worked at Panda Express for 3 years and I can say indefinitely that these look so much more appetizing. The store would actually condone never boiling the noodles and cooking them straight out of the bag over the cooked cabbage till thawed out, but in a pinch we would do it anyways and you could definitely see and taste the difference.
NEVER BOIL? well damn
Indefinitely?
@@Zebadane Supposed to microwave them for two minutes actually. They come portioned out in a sealed plastic bag. But yeah then straight into the wok. Although I will say most of panda's stir frying techniques are pretty legit. Just don't ask how much sugar is in the orange sauce.

Try the Cantonese restaurant-style! Fry the noodles to get them CWISPYYY then pour the sauce on top. You get a nice mix of crunchy and soft noodles for that nice textural contrast.
They're so good

Ok I just made this and it's so good!! Thanks very much for the recipe Josh
Just made this and it came out so amazing! Definitely add the chili oil it makes a huge difference. I will be making it again, thank you!
I recommend everyone de-bone and deskin the chicken thighs yourself. It's way way cheaper, it's easy, and you can fry up the skin and render out the delicious chicken fat and eat the skin like a chip. It's awesome. And use the bones for a small stock too I guess. Especially if you have an instant pot.
Well not really if you are just buying a selected part the price doesn't really change that much for example chicken breast. In all honesty I would use store brought rotisserie chicken if I buy whole chicken lazy me. But because I enjoy boneless skinless chicken breast in a huge pack its cheaper for me to buy in bulk

@@escapetherace1943 I see. Thank you for letting me know that. I will be a home cook
The difficulty with these cheap meals is that I can't but the exact measurements of the ingredients.
I have to buy 500g even if I'm only using 30g. So, even if the food itself is worth $12, I've still spent like $25 - $30 on the ingredients.
Usually fine for sauces which I will use before they expire but I'm probably going to end up having to bin the rest of the fresh food
Yeah, it is frustrating that a lot of fresh ingredients are sold in such large batches in super markets. I guess mostly because they are marketed towards 3-4 person families.
Still, there is always the option to go to smaller, local markets and butchers to buy just what you need, freezing uncooked meats, and learning ways of keeping veg fresh for longer (you’d be surprised how long veg can last when you know how to store it). Also, planning meals so that you can use the veg/meat in more than one dish per week helps as well. I’m not the best at it, but planning ahead really does help.
Yes but if you have a big family not much of a problem. It is best if you plan meals using the ingredients in multiple dishes
I suggest freezing some. This reheats really well and really easily. You can also kill two birds with one stone and make this for dinner, then separate it into 2-3 containers for easy meal-prepped lunches.
@@samanthat7553 I was going to suggest the same thing. Freezing my dinner from the other night, saved me from having to make my lunch today. haha
you have to plan which can use for other menu, or sometimes just stir fried it.
veggie stir fried is good with just soy sauce and oyster sauce(optional it's just umami sauce) add sesame oil and stir 1-2 time before plating,
or you like a little spicy add dry chili but change soy sauce to fish sauce it's aroma go well with spicy thing than soy sauce or use both
for noodles use dried one instead of freash because it's can store longer
Ginger?
stripe and stir fried with chicken/liver, onion , seasoned with soy sauce, a bit of sugar
Bean sprout?
Stir fried with Tofu(Vegan meal, yeahhhh)
Made today was freaking awesome ty for sharing 🙌 ❤️
Dammmmnn loved every second of it! The professionalism, humour and noodles. ✌️🐻
I love how this recipe got me on a solid start to making Chinese food from scratch. I've doubled it, opted in snow peas instead of celery, and serve it over rice instead of using noodles. Had to tone down the sesame oil as mine is super strong.
Thanks Josh!
I finally made this tonight! Took me just over an hour, start to finish. My wok was barely able to hold everything, so pay attention to wok size! 😊 It's delicious; the sauce goes a surprisingly long way.

I think chicken broth instead of water at the end would be a great tune-up to this recipe for sure, a little bit of oyster sauce for extra umami could be nice as well.

Great recipe. Quick and easy to follow. You could use thin spaghetti pasta noodles or regular spaghetti noodles will tastes the same as Chinese eggs noodles. Most eggs noodles have preservatives and fake colors. Thank you for sharing your recipes.😋😋 🥰🥰.
If you don’t like hoisin (like me) I used vegetarian oyster sauce with a bit of honey and sugar. Still gives depth and a little sweetness like the hoisin would
I just made this. I did not have all the ingredients but I was able to get most of them. Amazing. Finally did it. Hope big papa is proud lol
You seriously just made my day 😂 you’re hilarious af I know what I’m making for dinner.
I found out about you through Snapchat and work in a restaurant so I asked my coworkers about you. They think you're really dope and I felt really happy watching your cooking videos because they're never boring and inspire me whenever I cook for myself, coworkers, and my family. Your tips are always helpful and it just makes me happy watching someone fun with professional cooking. Your videos help me sometimes forget about the stress of cooking and how cooking really comes from the heart if you're gonna want to do it long term.
I use a good old Indian Kadhai. Not the best, but does the job.
Edit: I find marinating the chicken in the sauce before you cook it makes it more flavourful
Everything about this dish is awesome
Looks good, I'll try it. Will marinate the chicken first however, and add some MSG to the sauce. I also like to stir fry my noodles by themselves in the wok for a couple of minute and get some light charring, really amps the flavor.
I can’t believe you’d forget about the king of flavor MSG
I don't think it's particularly necessary, soy sauce has glutamates in it already. But yeah would've been a nice touch. I use some myself.
@@adityaruplaha yeah but he uses soy sauce with MSG in other vids so idk why not here
