Thick Noodles No.1: 4 nest

These are what you find in Chinese takeaways throughout the UK, A Tip boil them first in a large amount of water. 2 - 3 minutes. Drain them immediately and rinse thoroughly with cold water under the tap. Dry / Shake them really well and then let them sit for a good 30 minutes, This will avoid any sticking in your WOK and lead to that more Authentic Taste

During lockdown I started perfecting Chinese dishes like restaurants do. These are the noodles that the majority of Chinese takeaways and restaurants use for chow mein. I used to have to buy 15kg boxes of them which was a pain to store. These small retail boxes are so much more convenient. Trust me if you have never tried them they will be a game changer for you. Best method is put in boiling water in pan for 3 minutes, then let sit for 2 minutes, drain and then rinse under cold water and lay flat on a tray to dry out for at least 20 minutes. Then for typical chow mein get yourself some MSG, salt, Lee kum Kee light and dark soy sauce, onions, spring onions and beansprouts and a pinch of white pepper and you will have the best chow mein

I’ve been trying out different brands of noodles for my stir-fry dishes, and Lucky Boat No. 1 Chow Mein Noodles are hands down the best I’ve come across. They cook perfectly, just the right balance of firmness and chew without getting soggy or sticking together. The flavor is neutral, which makes them the perfect base to soak up all the delicious sauces and seasonings in my chow mein and other Asian dishes. They also reheat really well, which is great for leftovers. If you’re looking for authentic chow mein noodles that cook quickly and taste fantastic, I highly recommend giving these a try. They’ve become a staple in my cooking!

Supposed to be those used in takeaways and much nicer than the usual noodles stocked in supermarkets

I liked these noodles a lot. A way better option than buying the massive box that I can never use up

Perfectiom

One of my goals in cooking is to recreate my local Chinese takeaway’s Chicken Chow Mein. Using these noodles has allowed me to come very, very close. The noodles are easy to cook and have the perfect texture. Definitely would recommend.

Bought these this week and cooked them today. They cook well and have a lovely texture and flavour. Unlike other noodles I have used, these add taste to the meal not just carbs. I shall buy these again.
