Pork Chow Mein – Chinese Fakeaway Recipe
Chow mein is probably one of the most well-known dishes available from western Chinese takeaways. How authentically Chinese it is will always be disputed, but it does seem that something like modern chow mein was brought to the US by Chinese immigrants around about 1850. Chow mein simply means ‘fried noodles’, and it is important to stir-fry them, not just boil them. I’m using pork for this video, but chow mein can also be made with chicken, beef, prawns or tofu. Chow mein is a very simple dish – it’s very easy to make and totally delicious.

This is on the menu this weekend , thanks Kieth .
Shite ache mushrooms😂😂🤝😂Keef you are a legend!
Mange tout are sugar snap peas or snow peas in the USA I miss eating them as a veggie on my plate. Lovely pork chow mien or here lo mien wher I live 🤷♀️
Either way delish 👍🏼😘🥰
Lovely Keef, I've been thinking of doing this meself.
Nice one, Chef!
A very colorful and tasty looking stir fry. Cheers, Keef! 👍👍✌️
"flick off any dirt on the mushrooms" Bung the buggers in!! We ate dirt when we were kids!
Looks delicious. Only thing you got wrong here was serving on a plate. Bowls and chopsticks work together.
I heard Ainsley Harriott describe Chow Mein as "Throw everything in the dish; this lot are p*ssed and won't care/notice!" 😃
Tasty little dish, our Keef. Nice one
this looked yummy Keef….good idea using pork chop too…..cheaper than tenderloin xx
😋
Mange tout Rodney, mange tout! I used to be able to use chopsticks But i've forgotten! Also i may have gotten a bit mad but i'm sure this weeks vidayo was about bacon rolls or did i just dream that.
Didn't know you were a lefty Keef!
It looks truly scrumptious . I thought it would be a lot of work but you make it look easy . It turned out delicious I can almost hear the crunch of those stir fried veg !! Lovely 👏👏👍
After deboning the chops, if you freeze them for a bit till just firm, getting uniform slices are easier, though it really isn't necessary. Some stir fries like beef benefit though. Cheers!
Thank you that was great
Sorry Keef, but you pronounced Haslet correctly, but not the mushrooms. They are pronounced shit-are key, also if the ginger is juicy it is fresh, and at its best, almost drips when taken out of the soil.
Keef, that looks wonderful! So fresh and crunchy and tasty. Yum yum! I might have to get a wok. That said, I have electric burners on my stove and I'm not sure they would get a wok hot enough. Hm. I could always try in a big frying pan and see how it goes. Great video! Loved the dramatic slow-mo.
If that type of egg noodles is unavailable, a thin pasta noodle like angel hair, thin spaghetti or thin linguine is a good substitute. Cook according to package instructions, then drain and rinse because the excess starch will make the chow mein gooey. I learned that the hard way 🙁
Looks nice…can't beat a bit of chinky for crunchy veggies.
Wonder if pork shoulder would do? Sacrilege using chops!
I would avoid the shit-ake mushrooms on account of the smell.
Looks great Keef!
Home made take away food is my new obsession. Looking forward to trying this one 👍
Yum that looks fandabbysdozy Keef, 😎Deffo having a try at this recipe as since watching your videos I've stocked up on lots of the stuff in your vids 🙂, In fact I've just been sowing seeds of almost all those fresh ingredients in the greenhouse this morning.
Thank you Sir.
There's no fake like Keeffake. I'm in!
Looks delicious Keef! 😀Had something similar yesterday but instead of noodles, it was rice with the pork and veg dish served separately. Btw love the way you integrate bits of music into your videos 😎👍
Chow Mein translates to "beggar man's bowl". So Keef throws almost every item he could find in the grocery store into his version 😂
Thank you Chinese immigrant Keef this is verty tasty
