Personally, I would pre-marinate the strips of chicken in Shaoxin Rice Wine (or dry sherry as a substitute), soy sauce, pepper and cornflour - known as 'silking'. Makes the meat more tender and it melts in the mouth... works great with turkey, which tends to be generally dryer & tougher than chicken, but is a lot cheaper! *- Great Britain -*
tapdancerman Good point. I'm wondering why he didnt do something like that - I dont think the chicken will have much flavour the way he did it. If chow means fried shouldnt he fry the noodles at the start?
7 years ago, this is the first dish I ever cook and I remember how proud I was being able to stir fry noodles. Tq jamie for this simple recipe and being an excellent teacher.
as a chinese i think this is more of a westernized chow mein, or just jamie oliver's chow mein as title, but i would definitely enjoy this version too!
I found this so easy to cook when following the video!! To everyone that says its bad Chinese cooking, it’s just a simplified version that Jamie has offered. If it was complicated wouldn’t have made it because there is too much faff. This took me 15 mins and tasted absolutely beautiful. I will defiantly be looking up more videos recipes that I can follow. Thanks Jamie!!! x
I think it looks delicious! There is an Oriental grocery market near my home and I can (thank God!) find everything needed there. I'm going to try this. Thanks, Jamie Oliver. :) I think you're a spectacular Chef!
What if I made spaghetti and squeeze a lemon in it. Would you still feel the same way? Or how about fry up some steaks and pour fish sauce over it as seasoning? I pretty sure you would bitch too. We Chinese do not squeeze a fucking lemon into our chow mein. Pad Thai yes. Chow mein hell no.
for the record, i squeeze lemon/lime on my spaghetti all the time. i love it. fish sauce on steak in an interesting idea. i understand what he is doing isn't exactly traditional. but give it a try (or not), you might like it. its food! experiment and enjoy it.
Too bad Jamie didn't provide a list/quantity of ingredients for the dish. Grab a tablet and start watching and writing. Would gave been so easy to list on this page.
I leave out the boiled noodles, add bamboo shoots, and bean sprouts. Serve over fried chow mein noodles. If you want it to taste like take out, don't forget the MSG.
During preparation, make sure you waste the majority of the Ginger you bought....Use a spoon people the skin comes off VERY easily and just peel and cut off what you need. No need to waste so much of it.
+MaZEEZaM Probably done with a sharp knife for neat precise television appeal. Also probably because ginger costs pennies and isn't something that most people would be bothered to save to that extent. I use a normal potato peeler for ginger and if I have left over it freezes perfectly.
People complaining that it's not the same way Chinese cook thier stir-fry noodles but it was never meant to be the authentic one . It's Jamie's version and knowing him he likes to make more healthier and fresher version .
Reading all the complaints on this video, I figured the result would be a mess. Instead it looks delicious. What did Jamie Oliver do to make so many people angry lol
Put it to you this way. This recipe for chow mein is analogous to saying I'm going to make a grilled burger on brioche, and then you watch me sautee a meatball in ketchup and chicken gravy for some reason, and put it on sandwich bread toast. It might be delicious, but it is not remotely what I said it would be. If he called it "sautéed chicken and noodles", it would be fine. This more closely resembles an Italian dish than chow mein.
look ive watched him for yrs an enjoy what he does. very talented an skilled. use to be on food network for awhile too if you all remember. now there are only a few Add to dictionary I don't agree with for this delicious dish
I wanted to test out this recipe. So I cooked it 3 times just to make sure I did it correctly. The first time it end up in the garbage. 1 bite and it was sour and tasted watery. The second time, I used less lime and it still tasted like crap. So 3 times a charm I right? Wrong... I don't know what Chinese food you are eating Jaime, but this shit is shit. I went to a local Chinese restaurant and showed him this video. The chef laughed so hard he had tears in his eyes.
Ryan Do Chinese seldom use lime or lemon. Don’t add so much soya sauce, add some sugar, dash of oyster sauce, chicken stock or powder, and this dish should taste better. Shred some carrots, dice some chestnuts (not the whole tin or just leave it out) slice some mushrooms, add prawns.
Why are people so pissed that this isn't traditional? It tastes good so who cares. It honestly tastes better than the chinese take-outs I've been to. That being said I don't think this trumps the original recipe but it's a damn load better than the shit you get served at most of those restaurants. It has a western twist to it much like the California roll with sushi...
To all the Asians here replying on this video: make a video of your own instead of reply on video's with such a inappropriate sense of superiority just because you're Asian. Jeez. Am I do the same thing to video recipes of South American food just because I have South American roots? No, because I don't care about the authenticity of food, I just love food! My fucking lord.
You must marinate the meat first, at least 30min before cooking. The marinate: Soy sauce, cooking rice wine, 2 drops of sesame oil, rice starch, mix meat in and let cool. In Chinese cooking, you always start with stir-frying the "flavor ingredients" such as scallions/garlic/onions/ginger/chilli. This is so the flavors will be in the oil in the pan and everything else goes in will absorb all the flavors better. And, your noodles were in the water too long. Chinese cooking is VERY sophisticated..

+tapdancerman Turkey is FAR more expensive than chicken here in Australia.
I would add ginger in that marinade
Tapdancerman, totally agree and also add to that a large pinch of baking soda it makes all the difference.
James Haydon The baking soda works to tenderize, so marinated and worked into the meat it makes it juicy and tender.

This is how I cook noodles!!!!.

Jamie is awesome
YUM-MO!!! Can’t wait to try this Jamie!! I would get those Crunchy Skinny Rice noodles & put in top!!🥢💓💓💓🙌🙌🙌🥰😋
please change your ingredients before cooking never follow his style
I love chowmein!!!
so he recoded this with a frying pan
Like he said, he recoded this with a wok. The wok has this nice shape so you can toss the video and recode it very fast.
so much banta
It is not a frying pan is a WOK
LOOOL
It's your eyes that are at fault here.....er.....and mine as well......Oh, there's my coat.
To all the people complaining: this is his version of chow mein. If you like it, good; if you don't, stop complaining and do it your way.
What if I made spaghetti and squeeze a lemon in it. Would you still feel the same way? Or how about fry up some steaks and pour fish sauce over it as seasoning? I pretty sure you would bitch too.

i understand what he is doing isn't exactly traditional. but give it a try (or not), you might like it. its food! experiment and enjoy it.
That's what you get served in Chinatowns around the world - Gwai Lo Chinese food.
So in case you can get the traditional one easily, be grateful!
YUM😀have you ever seen little Oliver's cookbook?please tell me what you think😊
Jamie is such a boss
I love ur cooking and your hair style. ..you look awesome in pink shirt.
Great work Jamie :)
All twelve pixels of this video looked very tasty!
Hi thank u so much for the recipe. u taught it really well.. :))
jamie doesn´t use chicken for his dish he uses "lovely chicken" :D
Too bad Jamie didn't provide a list/quantity of ingredients for the dish. Grab a tablet and start watching and writing. Would gave been so easy to list on this page.
I leave out the boiled noodles, add bamboo shoots, and bean sprouts. Serve over fried chow mein noodles. If you want it to taste like take out, don't forget the MSG.
FUIYOOH.
Receta español, se le agradece..
GREAT Jamie I like you serial
So easy done thank you I ill try soon
this guy adds lime to everything
surprised he didn't add thyme
very good recipe its so delicious
A wonderful dish!
Really? You tried it yet?
I just made a stir fry like this last week. I added shrimp rather than chicken.

He always uses it for tea
Chinese don’t Evan take the skin off and tbh they are right the skin contains a lot of nutrition
Yummy that looks so nice
People complaining that it's not the same way Chinese cook thier stir-fry noodles but it was never meant to be the authentic one . It's Jamie's version and knowing him he likes to make more healthier and fresher version .
You call those fresh?
love this guy soooo much!!!!!
Reading all the complaints on this video, I figured the result would be a mess. Instead it looks delicious. What did Jamie Oliver do to make so many people angry lol

Very Good l will make it tonight
dude he gets payed for this OBVIOUSLY he knows how to cook a chinese dish
Love it
This is dinner tonight! Dang this is awesome! I hate bok choy and water chestnuts....lol...but this will change my mind I'm sure.... :)
very Good i like it
With the shiitake mushrooms, you can buy dried ones in the Asian section of most supermarkets. Soak them in boiling water for 10 minutes & drain.
The comments omg... Im chinese but I dont care; I like this version too.
Jamie's version of chow mein😁
very delicious 😍
Yummy , Thx master chef Jamie.
my point exactly
This is the first chow mein video that I've seen that has not used oyster sauce.
what a nice instant noodle tutorial
just cooked one today
i love Chinese fast food
Still waiting for a Jamie’s dish w/o lime and coriander.
2:15
lol If I do this and my mom saw it, she will probably kill me.
He's so cute. Lol
look ive watched him for yrs an enjoy what he does. very talented an skilled. use to be on food network for awhile too if you all remember. now there are only a few Add to dictionary I don't agree with for this delicious dish
I really need to stop watching this while I am hungry...

Good chicken chow mein！
+Mary Whitehouse malcontent
He makes chow mein like it's spaghetti lol
We'll have to challenge Jamie to a Chow Mein -off... that's a thing right?
Fresh ginger, chilli and garlic.
Love it. Keep up the good work. welcome to youtube, Ignore the haters :P
Quite a few things missing here, beansprouts, sesame oil, oyster sauce etc
I love Jay pretending to care about the regards that can't boil noodles
For Mr. Chow's sake, at least slice the mushrooms up, Man! What are we, dinosaurs?!
I am
He didnt even chop the vegetable
Yabba Dabba Doo!
LailyCouture Chow mein has nothing to do with Mr.chow. ‘Chow’ is just stir fry in Cantonese.
@@yumengguan8135 I suspect Laily was just being humourous. At least I hope so.

Can you link your recipe? I love cooking authentic and spin offs and would love to try your way !
thanks !
i believe u are good "western" chef
I have never seen him make a good recipe
I would add some extra hosein, fish sauces, love umami.
lol he makes it the same as his fried rice with sizzling beef!! haha
Stephen Yan would approve. :-)

I don't get it, you should have like millions of subscribers!
The way he cut the ginger..
For all the haters, the title says Jamie Oliver's chicken chow mein, NOT chinese chicken chow mein
Basically it's a Chicken and Mushroom Pot Noodle done in a frying pan
Video cuts so he can wash his hand after cutting the chicken too but its still a quick dish, he was moving fast with that knife.
Nice video and cooking. Thank you! Shouldn't you be using a wooden spatula on a non-stick wok?
Fish and chips are quality.
Videos like this should not have a full-screen option....
