I'm grateful that my eldest brother 'forced' me to order Singapore vermicelli one day from the chippy. We're talking mid 1980s here. ever since then I've always gravitated towards the Cantonese/Singapore versions of classics. Trying to find Chow Mein in Oslo that's anything like it is back in Liverpool. Mostly just fried noodles here. One or two places do have Chow Mein and Chow Fan though. But you have to scour menus. Ace video as usual. Given me some inspiration to make Char Siu too.

My cheat code for Char sui mate is get a pork loin cut in half (not lengthways), use red dye, water, seasoning (5 spice, hoisin sauce, can use other stuff), mix put in zip-locked bag with the pork loin, put in fridge for 24hrs, roast in the oven until cooked (use meat thermometer if req.), let cool then cut into meal sized portions, wrap in cling-film and then pop into zip bag, pop in freezer. Every time you cook a char sui dish, pop one out 30 mins before your cooking, cut nice and equal chunks whilst its still firm, pop into dish and enjoy. Its also a great technique for doing fresh char sui dishes, like popping them straight onto bao buns (which also freezing amazingly).

As I said on your previous video, I think it was the live, this is my go to chow mein. I always ask for extra spicy as I find the standard too bland for my smokers palette. Thank to to you and Choo. You have both cheered me up in what has been a difficult time for me in the last couple of weeks as I sadly lost my mum. Her funeral is on the 22nd but I've tried to find things to watch that make me smile and you both have. Thank you so much ❤️
