Tips: use the premium oyster sauce(by lee kum kee) cuz thats the flavor we all know & love when hoping to make chinese restaurant food. Also use mushroom soy sauce(brand hardly matters here). Both of these are easy to find at your large upscale asian markets like H-Mart if you have one of them. Dont expect to find these flavors at walmart where you will find overpriced options of lesser flavor concerning oyster sauce & they never have mushroom soy sauce(both of which are fundamental to these style cuisine...dont be afraid to buy a sea food soy sauce too). You probably should invest in some lee kum kee chicken powder too as it has a whole different flavor than knorr chicken bouillon & a tiny bit of it works well in chicken dishes(where as light sprinkle of sea food soy sauce does good for shrimp noodles/rice). You do the sesame oil last because the flavor is lost via heat so you actually want to turn the heat off before you add it(& I found its stronger the fresher the bottle is...after using a strong bottle 3 months after I opened it, it wasnt strong anymore like when I first opened it). Also keep your premium oyster sauce in the fridge cuz it can get mold do to the higher amount of oyster extract in it(major flavor). A tiny bit of hoison sauce does add some missing flavor profile & thickens the sauce(as does a little broth). Always aim to under salt & under flavor your food making this cuisine as most all the seasonings have too much sodium in them(including the store bought asian chili oils). The trick is to marry samples of these flavors together, not to glob any particular flavor as though it were wing sauce. The dripping juices from your noodles should be water & broth FLAVORED by your sauces, it shouldnt be dripping with sauce(trust me, Ive made these mistakes for years off & on to figure out the difference). By the time you have your individual bowl of noodles flavored with all the additional things you like(chili oil, sprinkle of fish sauce, etc), consider yourself highly favored if your food isnt too salty & should you find the space to add salt, add just that(salt not soy sauce...trust me). As for salt, even that should be chosen wisely(pink himelayan salt is the salt we should be eating, not refined bleached white table salt which contains traces of glass & sand hence the many morbid things we say about salt & health when in truth salt is supposed to be healthy & is when you use the right kind vs man altered products that cause morbid health issues needlessly... ....you can find pink salt even at your local dollar store, just beware the size of the salt shaker holes...try to use the same size holes to sprinkle the same amount youre used to as the bigger holes are confusing to first timers where as some smaller holes on salt shakers are too small even for fine pink salt). As for noodles, you can even experiment using ramen noodles(just save the flavor packets & use the noodles...try to under cook them in water first as they do get soggy quick). Once you know what youre doing with per say linguine noodles, upgrade to using the authentic egg noodles like at the restaurants. You can youtube how to make egg noodles & its better to make them yourself than buy them(they are usually over priced like crazy at your local asian markets & let me assure you your fav restaurants arent buying those noodles otherwise they would have to sell the food for double the price...rather they make their own noodles as should you). No more secrets, now you know. -That Guy who said it all

@Bedrock Miner Don lol crazy right? My comment is even longer that I made about a year ago on another video(still get dozens of replies to this day asking me to make a food channel). Id simply make my own channel & video but for the fact that Ive perfected my recipe these last few months via cooking fried rice & noodles so much Im almost tired of it plus I hate the camera on my phone so I need a new one before I put in all the work. No promises but its likely i film the video on a new channel in the next 2 weeks, & if I do I will find this comment & post a link so you dont miss it(itll be refined too so nobody tells me TMI lol...Im passionate about this cuz it took years of misinformation to finally learn the better insights).

@Bedrock Miner Don Just so you know, here in Texas mushroom soy sauce usually goes for around $2(size: NET 16.9 fl oz) & the large bottles of premium oyster sauce(NET 18 fl oz or 1 lb 2 oz) is almost always on sale for just over $3 cuz people go through them fast & they dont make large enough bottles. Seafood soy sauce is sort of mandatory for shrimp fried dishes but sort of not because you can work around its limited but sharp flavor(just tastes like super salty soy sauce with fish sauce in it). Sesame oil is mandatory. You can find decent price hoison sauce at walmart or other local grocery stores(not mandatory but there is a contributing flavor in it that helps the lo mein taste perfect). The most expensive thing is the lee kum kee chicken powder/bouillon as its sold in a pretty big container & was around $10 give or take(doesnt matter which one you get, i'd get low sodium...this flavor is important for that perfect chicken fried rice the way it used to taste everywhere since the 90s...you only use a tiny bit too). You can still substitute it with knorr though(Id say just use even less). Ive found using low sodium chicken broth to make your chicken lo mein & fried rice is mandatory especially if you dont have the asian chicken powder(which tastes more like powdered chicken broth than knorr). In other words, you can use water instead of broth when using the chicken powder but it tastes better using both, however if you dont invest in it, you should be good with regular knorr bouillon but make sure you use some chicken broth as Im certain even a splash of its flavor makes a HUGE difference(& yes you only need a little more than a splash per batch...vegetable stock + seafood soy sauce is more traditional when making shrimp dishes instead). I had to make many mistakes perfecting my recipe these last few months to teach this as I do...Im declaring mine the best recipe & best instructions on youtube when it comes out. Just watch, youll see. imma show where to buy the wok & everything...Imma make it condensed but thorough(good 5-7 minute video). Im teaching how to make sushi & a few other dishes Ive mastered too(home made pizza restaurant quality, cold smoked salmon, etc).

A a few years ago I discovered the Japanese Ponzu sauce, like sauce sauce but has a mixture of kombu, mirin and either lemon or lime. Amazing taste with sashim/sushi... or rice or noodles etc. If you like soy sauce, you will love PONZU!, Available at your Asian store but maybe also at your local store, anyway here in Canada
