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.

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.

This is perfect, just what I needed. I have been searching for a cheaper ramen or noodle recipe👌 papa made me happy!!

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.

Just made this for the family (a few substitutions were needed) and it came out great. Thanks!

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 :)

amazing and easy thank you!

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.

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 truly admire watching replications of Asian dishes. This "Chicken Chow Mein" includes lots of vegetables, sauce, and chicken. Plus, it is super easy to make and, at the same time, is a filling dish for more than one person. 🍜

Just made this recipe for dinner and it turned out incredible

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.

Best part of this video is pointing out there are induction safe woks. Buying the wok was never the issue, it was the gas stove that presented a problem. Just assumed woks were a gas only type tool.

You seriously just made my day 😂 you’re hilarious af I know what I’m making for dinner.

I’m going to make this when my family comes back from mexico. The exact way he did I can’t wait.

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.

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.

I broke this dish down and if you serve it into 4 portions it'll be 480/500 calories.

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 !

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.

Ok I just made this and it's so good!! Thanks very much for the recipe Josh

Josh, if we're talking about the "throne of noodle dishes" can we do Pad Thai and/or Dan Dan Noodles, either with Chicken?

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.

Really like your energy! Subbed!

Joshua, it`s still morning over here, just saw your chicken chow mein receipe video & I`m getting ready to go grocery shopping for all your delish ingredients & I will be making this for dinner 2 nite! Thanks!

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.

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)

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 giggle every time. Yes, I learn things…while giggling! 🤣

My man Josh is the truth!! Thank you for helping me be a better home cook.

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 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.

just got my wok and this was the first thing I made , substituted beef for chicken . Absolutely delicious and very cheap !! Unreal, thank you Josh

Did it here Joshua and got pretty good! Thanks!

The fresh garlic is a must!! I’ll need to try this one. I myself prefer Chow Mein’s that use 5 spice and Oyster sauce alongside chicken broth.

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.

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!!!

Made this on a Saturday night. Then again for a late breakfast, was that good!!
