Here in the Netherlands inflation is almost 11 percent and the energy bill has doubled. Many people struggle to make ends meet. Thanks for your great videos. They are an inspiration to make life a little easier. Adam, never change because we need people like you.

Don’t ever change Adam, your a star! Looking forward to this one and I’ve not even finished the video 🤣

Chinese style cooking without MSG is like a Pizza without cheese. So glad you added it.

Hello from Canada..I made this and is was perfect👍👍👍 Thank you so very much. All the best to you.

Just made this and absolutely delicious

Hi Adam, I'm so pleased your mission to get the bean sprouts was successful, you went the extra mile ( literally ) for your subscribers and it's much appreciated. As usual this looks absolutely delicious. I make your sweet and sour chicken with egg fried rice once a week, now I can add this to the meal as well. Bless you and thanks for sharing..

I'm loving this series. We all need to make our money stretch as far as possible. These meals go a long way to help. Thank you so much. 😁

Bloody legend mate - keep on making many others smile and enjoy fella....

Looks fab! Looking forward to making this one!

Great recipe. Thank you Adam

Inspired as ever, thank you Adam, just the idea I was looking for👍

I've started using MSG awhile back coz of one of your videos. I've also turned a few friends onto it as well. It makes a huge difference!!!! Love it! And you! And Mogs! 🥰🥰🥰

You rock Adam! Thank you for your entertaining & informative videos. Love your recipes! I'm a fan from New Jersey in the USA. 👍

Excellent videos Adam. This one looks so easy. Think ill whack some frozen peas and sliced mushroom in as well. Cant wait.!!

I make this all the time. I Love it!!!!!!! 😋😋😋😋😋

The quality and taste continues. Brilliant video Adam.

Thankyou for making the things i grew up with, had a few years of going off my food but now my love of food is coming back thanks to you, (ex cook by the way) made this last night but with some leftover salad and fresh mushrooms it was soooo tasty, husband could not believe i had eaten, i actually had corned beef hash that i lived on, nothing else, so thankyou, your recipies are simple and 'stuff' i aways have in.

That looks yummy. I agree, MSG is the secret. Great recipe, thanks Adam.

I've got an addiction to Chow Mein, so thank you for the recepie, as its costing me a fortune to buy it from the take away shop. Now I can make it myself

Hi Adam…..thanks for another great idea for tea and my lot would eat this meal…..got everything in bar the beansprouts…..Aldi in the morning 👍

Oh Adam i love recipes like this. I was looking for an idea, for a meal for later this week and I think I found one. Might add more veggies but we will see

Pmsl at your bean sprout mission,glad you got sorted Adam.Belta, cheap easy recipe yet again,I never used to have the confidence to cook till I seen you on U tube Adam,keep up the brilliant recipes and all the fantastic tips you give out whilst cooking.Love how you tell people where to get the ingredients aswell,massive help.

you make the best recipes !

Nice one Adam, thank you sir.

Nice one Adam looks v tasty ….Cheers 🍻🍻…..keep em coming 😋

Looks great as ever 👍🏻 I'm another MSG lover- Knorr do Aromat which is MSG with herbs, more suited to European flavours, and if you ever see their Plein Sud one it's the French veggie version. Worth a try 🙂

Mate I haven't made it through the video, "yet" but I'm in stitches 🤣. Fantastic sense of humour buddy, have put a smile on my face 👍❤️

Adam!!!!!! You found bean sprouts eventually WOOHOO!!! AND MSG what a great video and great Chicken Chow Mein recipe I LOVE it mate a definite bobby dazzler😋👍!!!!

Another great looking dish. One thing - surprised you didn't add any garlic. Definitely going to make this one - thanks Adam

You had me howling! I love watching Barry Lewis but you are like an adult only version. Keep doing you xx

I just made this chicken chow mein for dinner last night for my wife and I and it was fantastic. I had it for leftovers today for lunch and it was even better. I always bust out laughing while watching your channel and you inspired me to try this recipe. I haven't cooked a proper sit-down meal in almost 30 years (unless you count heating cans of chili and refried beans), since my wife enjoys doing all the cooking and she's good at it. Anyway, I followed this recipe to the letter, with no input or help from my wife (just you and me, buddy). And I EVEN DID THE DISHES AFTERWARDS (which actually took longer than making the meal). Just wanted to let you know that we both loved it and I'm looking forward to cooking more of your recipes and getting back into the kitchen.

Great recipe mate

Never imagined it was so simple to make, so why so fookin expensive in the takeaway ? This one I will definitely do. Thanks Adam

Hi Adam, will have to look for some msg then! I've never used it before.. the dish looked yummy!

I’ve been using msg for years in my Chinese recipes. My food tastes just like the takeaway. 😋 Great video Adam 👍🏻💕

I don't think people understand how much of a difference msg actually makes. It was hard to picture it completely changing the flavour before I tried it, but after adding it to egg fried rice, it tastes identical to the uk takeaways

Ha ha love the rant 🤣

My mum went shopping in Wigston town centre yesterday and she only found half the things on her list. We'll be digging up worms by Christmas at this rate. Good video 👍

Didn't know you were from Leicester! I spent a lot of summers, Christmas's and Easters in Enderby! Love your channel mate, lots of great recipes that I love making!

Looks delicious. And this is the kind of thing you can customize however you want, which is the kind of thing I love making. Keep the great recipes coming. Ya'll should check out Adam's older videos too, lots of amazing easy to make food.

It’s very easy to grow your own bean sprouts. All you need is a glass jar and some mung bean seeds placed on a window sill. Rinse at least once a day. Look up proper method. You’ll never buy sprouts again. 🥰

Hi Adam, as usual this looks great, can you make this maybe a day or two before and warm up in the oven, maybe in foil dishes?

Hello Adam . I'm Darren. I'm English too from London. I love your channel. Your meals are exactly how my family made it !! We did get the cheap sausages though but still had cheap dinners when I was a kid. I grew up in the 80s but icant cook like I dideven in the 80s. Should we just eat bread and butter??

That's a tasty looking dish there Adam

Try an Asda superstore early soon after a delivery Even restaurants buy loads, so therefore no stock left

If your in a Chinese supermarket get the Pearl River Bridge dark soy sauce. Really good - I add it to all sorts of things!

Great Video matey 👍👍

Hi sweet, bit late watching I've got new job 😁😁 and I love chow mein thanks Adam x

Thinks definitely been in the Chinese supermarket in st Matthews 😊

Sounds like u where in london rd liverpool ? Im always there shopping in t js . Glad u got ur beansprouts eventualy . X

This looks great! I'm interested to see that in most of the chicken recipes that I've seen you cook, you go for breast meat. It's a marginal saving to go for thigh meat (or even boned and skinned 'drum fillets' that Aldi've started doing) but they're my preference; I think they have more flavour and don't 'dry out' in the way that breast meat can. Just adding my sixpennorth 😅.

My favourite looks great 👍 Adam can you make a takeaway style naan bread with the sweet taste please 🙏 😋 😀

We do appreciate your dedication to getting the bean sprouts. I'd love to try this but don't hold out much hope of getting some here . Looks delicious tho xx

Adam you may be surprised about how many of this generation have no clue with cooking. Never presume people know the simplest things and come to videos like yours to get instruction. I am a fairly good cook but have never done anything like this one. X

Lol just listening and thought hes from Leicester after going London road and granby street . Hey presto, thurnby lodge here.

Hi Adam sounds like you had a nice walk did y get your 10,000 steps in love your channel

Bean sprouts are hard to find here where I live. Fitness chicken chow mien 👍🏼❤️

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 bean sprouts are like gold dust on unicorns this year 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The reason why I never eat Chinese is because of MSG it’s awful stuff,I feel so hungover the next day and I don’t even drink alcohol anymore. Nice recipe though Adam thank you.

Hi Adam Another great lesson but what measures of msg do you add?

Tinned bean sprouts all the way! Never have any fresh ones in sunny Wiltshire, either.

Thanks for this . I used Chinese 5 spice instead of msg 👍

F-king bean sprouts 🤭 great recipe. I'm about to buy a bag of MSG 😳🤣. Will make this Tuesday. Thanks Adam x

looks a treat mate 👍why do my noodles always turn into a sticky ball of mess 🤮

Great vid! If you don't have at least 3 drinks are you really even try'n? lol Take care and have a great Sunday!

Here in US no Canned beansprouts now 10 months. I have never seen any other variety but LOL I snagged canned ones today 🙏

The multi-cultural metropolis that is Leicester. Big up the East Midlands. Thanks Adam

Could you make egg fried rice restaurant style to accompany this?

Should you have used Sesame oil instead of vegetable oil?

been watching for a while and never realised you was a leicester Lad too

Made this recently tho with more veg, nice enough it was. But guess who's had an unopened bag of msg in their cupboard. Explains why it didn't have THAT flavour. Thanks Adam.

I had a Wok, but I fwoo it at a Wabbit. Cheers mate.

without a doubt that was the nicest chow mein iv ever had

That looks awesome brother, I love the deep rich color from the dark soy sauce, I’ve never had the dark soy. Msg doesn’t scare me, but I think it’s been banned in the states hasn’t it? I think I remember back in the late 70’s or 80’s some big hubbub about it here. Thank you Adam. 😁

I bought some MSG in the local asian supermarket and I have to say - it was quite a lot more expensive than that by weight. But I did get a very small jar. We only need a bit after all. Great vid. Making this tomorrow, albeit with some cooked and shredded chicken from the freezer. Never know, I might add a bit of Mr Naga. ;-)

😆🤣🤗 Better be some Fine damn bean sprouts!

This is a great simple recipe. How about Singapore Chou Mein? Chicken, pork and shrimps and quite spicy. Are you up for a bit of a challenge?

Looks great , love a chicken chow mien 👍🏻 what is MSG ??

When did the MSG go in?

London road Leicester? I went to university in Leicester in the 1980s and lived on Manor Road, around the corner. Small world.

Chinese supermarkets did not have beansprouts? Weird!

Yeah we have shortages here too - $11 for a lettuce & $10 for broccoli and things are missing from the supermarket. I live in Sydney Australia

er adam im doing this recipe tonight , go get me some bean sprouts lol

Ha, a crappy Tesco "Superstore" (it isn't!) and an Aldi. That's yer lot in my small West Country town. Don't think I'll do the 20 mile round trip - both in opposite directions - for a large Tesco, Asda or Morrisons.

I love chicken chow mein but no longer have it….too expensive. This looks amazing. Where can I get MSG? Looked everywhere. Online maybe? Big hugs to you and little Mogs x

I sympathise with you in your pursuit of the Bean Sprouts, mate, the same kind of thing has happened to me, (not an elusive recipe ingredient, but looking for a particular repair service, capable of repairing an expensive leather briefcase), which involved me driving to several distant suburbs, finding elusive parking spaces, all to no avail, wasting about 3 - 4 hours that I'll never get back. Sydney, is much more "spread-out" than your hometown, and it's virtually impossible to get anywhere without a car, but parking is a perennial problem, far more time-consuming than the actual walk to the business which you hope will be capable of providing the required service. Bean Sprouts are easily available in all Sydney supermarkets, Asian or Western, but prices are pretty steep at the moment, a result of serious flooding in many of the areas where leafy vegetables are grown. Anyway, your Chicken Chow Mein looks extra scrummy, as usual! 😋👍🏻

I always love a good excuse to use chopsticks at dinner.

Question, out of curiosity: Some people say MSG makes it a Chinese taste, but others say it's sesame oil. I have both, but which might be best?

I’ve heard people says Tesco’s before but never Lidl’s. You just did both. Anyway, excuse the boring comment, I have to dash to Asda’s

nearly right , , boil the chicken whole then cut it , takes about ten minutes , then cool and cut , then you fry it with the onion add the msg with chicken and onion not the whole lot it needs to be cooked off put in like just before the noodles you also want pearl river dark soy

I can't remember where I heard or saw it, but I am sure that a chef once said that light and dark soy are different beasts, and are not as interchangeable in the way some believe. You use dark to add flavour, and light to season! I know that it is rarely a good idea to buy equipment you don't use that often, and I am definitely a proponent of making the best of what you already have, however a proper wok can do the job more efficiently. For those of us who only have electricity to our homes a wok would have to be flat-bottomed - unless you want to spend hundreds on one of those special concave induction hobs specifically for woks! For those who would use one regularly, a wok could make sense, and with ever increasing fuel costs may even pay for itself in less time than you think. I have been pre-preparing my ingredients since I started cooking, for no other reason that I get in a right old mess if I don't. Sorry if it sounds a little OCD, but I try to place them in the order I will use them as that (mostly!) stops me realising that I should have added something earlier! If not pre-measured, I return them to the cupboard etc after they have been used, so that hopefully I have a clear space at the end, and I know that everything which should have gone in actually has, and that I don't add anything twice by mistake! I have also started writing my recipes quite differently, with the list of ingredients being in the order I use them, so unlike the ones you see in books, which invariably start with the main ingredient (often the meat) mine will often start with oil then onion. I also find it helpful to have whatever equipment you need to hand. P. S. Any plans to experiment with a pressure cooker? P. P. S. Keep up the good work and pleased to see that you are back to your usual self. P. P. S. 2 If you know someone or a family who are struggling and were previously good in the kitchen and you can easily stand the cost of a meal - invite them around to cook for, and eat with you. Not only does it make for a most pleasurable experience, especially if they have a different heritage, but helps someone out without sacrificing their dignity, and can help you expand your recipe bank too!

made last night was fab, whacked some king prawns in n'all, some of that cheap dark soy is carcinogenic cos of tar in it

“Unagi!”

Aha I had the same thing a month back, 5 different shops just looking for a bloody scourer😂

I'd have skipped the bean sprouts - bloody hate them!

I reckon you've been watching chef Jean-Pierre....

The overhead shot was a different meal.

What's so bad about MSG? But if they use them at the take away places it should be fine

MSG, 😱 I can’t eat MSG I feel like I have a hangover the next day

Hi Adam, always enjoy your cooking shows and the moans, but why do you wear an apron that looks like something Leather face from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre would wear. ?
