Chinese Takeout Lo Mein Secrets Revealed

Wanna learn how to make Chinese takeout fried rice at home? Check out this video: https://youtu.be/qURmdmgCCOI

I swear, this video along with the one on fried rice are better than any cooking program I've ever seen in my life.

I love how you take the time to show alternatives to equipment or ingredients so that the recipe can be accessible to almost anyone. Great video Jason.

My brother’s review of this when I brought him a plate: “dude this is freaking fantastic” Thanks for the thorough walkthrough of the recipe! This was my first time making anything like this, and it turned out amazing!!

I made this recently and to my surprise it actually came out so good, and was just as delicious as the take out we get, even my dad was impressed by it!

Thank you so much for just straight up including a google doc of the recipe. Most people won't even put text instructions in their video description anymore, since they seem to think it's clever to force you to rewatch their video over and over to cross-reference it. I can't believe you're the first person I've seen actually link a detailed writeup!

As someone with a shellfish allergy who used to love chinese takeout, thank you for mentioning the oyster sauce substitutes. It took me ages to find out they made those and it helps so much with flavors.

YES!! Just made this, and it turned out great. Every bit as good as restaurant takeout! The beef came out tender and tasty (that's been the problem when I've tried to grope my way through this dish in the past). The sauce was perfect. Noodles were coated, but not soupy. Just fantastic. My wife enjoyed it. And my little girl, well, she actually ate it without any complaining, and trust me, that's high praise from her. So a huge success. Thanks so much for spelling out the tricks that took this to the next level.

Oyster sauce was created on accident. Cook forgot oyster soup on stove, cooked down to a rich amazing sauce, without a strong oyster flavor. Oyster sauce a staple in Hawaiian cooking. Thank you for sharing.

My favourite thing in your videos is how you always cut to a small bit of footage backing up what you're saying at the time e.g. when you say "turn down the heat" we see the flame getting smaller. I really appreciate that kind of attention to detail, very satisfying.

"lo main-tenance" I caught that! Lol. I swear this is what I get every time I go to a Chinese restaurant, a combination lo mein. Oh and a side of salt and pepper fried chicken wings. Thank you so much for this ❤️

Dude. Your videos are SO comprehensive. Thank you sir.

As a Lo Meiniac, I just want to say how awesome it is that you always include grams with your instructions. You legit can not find easier-to-follow instructional videos than yours anywhere. Na na na nananana, nannana, hey Jason

You're quickly becoming one of my favourite cookery YouTubers.

This is HANDS DOWN the best recipe I have found!!! Thank you for sharing.

This is the most perfect video for DIY lo mein. Precise instructions and alternative ingredients are a nice touch. Great job.

Thank you so much for putting the recipe in a google doc, and not on a cluttered website with advertisements. Your content is the best!

When he emphasized LEE KUM KEE's premium oyter sauce, I knew this channel is committed. I am Madarin Chinese with no Cantonese background and I love SERIOUS Cantonese cuisine in traditional way. Thanks Jason.

I really appreciate how you explain every step and the rationale behind them, so many times people do not do that. Thank you.

I've made this three times now and it's in my regular rotation! Oyster sauce is a must! Without it, your lo mein won't have that deep, satisfying flavor
