Indo-Chinese Chow Mein | The Ultimate Street Food Fusion
Indo-Chinese Chow Mein
Ingredients
4 nests fine egg noodles, 250g
6 tbsp vegetable oil or any neutral oil
2 medium onions, cut into chunky petals
8 fat cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 large green pepper, cut into chunks
2 carrots, cut into thick batons
2 pak choi, roughly chopped
1 bunch spring onions, sliced (use half while cooking and half for garnish)
Sauce
5 tbsp Light Soy Sauce
4 tbsp Cholula Original Hot Sauce
3 tbsp Rice vinegar
1 tbsp Ketchup
½ tsp MSG
Sesame seeds, for garnish
Method
Prepare all the vegetables. In a jar or bowl, mix together the light soy sauce, Cholula, ketchup and rice vinegar.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large rounded pot over high heat. Add the onions and cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the green pepper, carrots, pak choi, green chillies and half of the spring onions. Stir-fry over high heat for 5 minutes. Add Msg.
Pour in the prepared sauce and cook for another 5 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles according to the packet instructions. Mine took 4–5 minutes in boiling water.
Drain the noodles, rinse them under cold running water, then drizzle with a little oil and toss well to prevent them from sticking together.
Add the cooked noodles to the wok and toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce.
Serve, garnished with the remaining spring onions and a generous sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Chowmein tastes best when rested, don’t eat when its too hot.

So yummy and easy to make😊
But msg IS blah blah blah!
"You signed up for it, by marrying an Indian girl" as he's coughing his lungs up due to spice 🤣🤣🤣🤣 She's hilarious, love this
I don't know the host/chef's name, but she was very feisty in today's episode and more funny than usual. One of my favourite in the series so far, my very best wishes to her, her husband and her crew(?) from Ontario, Canada.
As Uncle Roger spits truthbombs – MSG = Make Sh1t Good
When someone cooks this way…you immediately ask them to marry you. (I'm sure Sana's husband is glad he did) This looks delicious!
I'm definitely going to make this, although I may have to take it easy on the hot sauce (wife isn't keen on hot food). It looks delicious), thank you for showing how easy chow mein can be.
Msg is blah blah blah, sorry, couldn't resist 😂
She's what happens when you put an artist in the kitchen
Just adore your videos Sana
Looks far more appetizing than what I grew up with. For what it's worth, we always served it with lemon juice + sprinkled chillie powder.
Hi Sana, I recently came across your channel and instantly started watching all your previous videos and I must say that your trips to India and eating all the good food across our country is one of my favourites from your channel, would love to see more vlog and travel style videos, those are such a vibe. Lots of love to you guys !
My heart's little prayer is that this could be the coziest, most tastefully curated, captivatingly humourous, delightfully inspiring all veg channel. Understandably, that would not be the most conducive move towards channel growth, capturing the widest possible viewer audience.
In any case, we'll keep relishing every veg episode you publish with the utmost joy & heartwarming splendour.
Cheers to you both!
This reminded me of Simpson's in Lucknow. We ate there often as foreign students in the 70's! Thanks for the memories, for taking me back to those wonderful days. 😍
I love the antics at the end. Good food and entertainment all in one😊
Yum, yum
I just did my research and found out that MSG is blah, blah, blah:)
Wow great recipe 👍👍👍
You forgot to add chicken or beef
I know how the camera man feels. I married an Indian woman whose family are from Trinidad. Even a simple looking salad can kill me.
Lovely ❤❤
Ouch ! They deleted my innocent comment.
can i use rice noodles or other eggless noodles to make it vegan?
Looks yum! Thanks for the fun video. Is this recipe essentially chili paneer with noodles replacing the paneer?
So classy and soft spoken with amazing content. I love this gorgeous lady
Someone please get this woman a wok! Uncle Roger would not approve of that casserole dish she was using.
This is more like lo mein rather than chow mein. You can look up the difference yourself.
Excellent Presentation.
Yes. Small Amouts of
MSG may Be OK? However,
IF You have Any kind of
Respitory issues. With the
MSG and the hot suace
And Soy. You Will Be Gasping for Air. 😮
Their Loaded with Refined Sugars,
Preservatives And Food Colorings.
Blah 🤪😂🤪. Although
Your Channel Is Great!
Thank Yu ! 🙏
I use MSG all the time – it's rated as healthier than salt by the WHO. Parmesan cheese is literally 3% MSG. It's so great to see someone with a rational attitude towards it.
i admire your videos but for a desi chowmein it has long flat cut vegetables (green pepers , onions) not diced vegetables cut ..apart from that everything was perfect
Yay for evidence based MSGing 👍
You're just becoming full professional with these videos, presentation, production and all…you're on your way to a cooking empire. Best wishes to you.
This is maybe a controversial opinion and I don't want to detract from your recipe but imo a lot of indo-chinese food is overrated and actually lacks balance. The base sauce is often too basic (student pantry-type stuff) and ends up being too sour/sweet/spice. But regardless of that, I don't think it's a fusion of food cultures that results in synergism (i.e. better than the sum of its chinese and indian parts). Honestly I just think chinese-only recipes do a better job in terms of umami/savouriness and balance for this type of food.
Sorry this comes across as hater energy and I'm sure there are many many people who disagree lol
What a great dish. What a stunningly beautiful woman!
Looks delicious. I don't think of Cholula as being all that hot. Seems like Kashmiri chili powder or Indian chilies would be hotter. I love this channel.
I ate Chili Chicken in Nepal and it was amazing but not the chow mein..I saw it in restaurants there and it's popular..
As a Chinese person who cooks a lot of Chinese food, I was shocked at how good Indian chow mein was…to me it might even be better than Chinese chow mein. Also great video
YAAASSSSS! MSG is king of umami, a little pinch goes a long way and anyone who calls msg bad is a moron.
Was Nolan Directing this video?
Congrats!!!
My fav chowmein combination is red and green cabbage, green pepper, carrot, mushroom and onion. But I’ll try your veg combination next time ☝🏽🩷
Beautiful
Your not wrong! Very similar to Nepali style chowmin (spelt the Nepali way 😂).
I never knew it was a thing until I started learning about Asian food, my HK Chinese friends didn’t know it was popular in Nepal or India either .
I like doing it with plenty of sauce and deep fried chicken that has been marinated in corn starch, white pepper, mild curry powder and ginger garlic paste 😋😋🙏🇳🇵🇮🇳🇬🇧
crushing garlic before cutting and cooking gives good taste and healthy
videos are getting better. Nice job.
