The GOOD FOOD Show THE BEST Singapore Chow Mein (Jimmy’s Sate)

This Singapore Chow Mein was the one that me and Mum were mean’t to demo at the Jimmy’s Sate stall, but the Good Food Show had other plans lol, long story short, we didn’t have any ingredients to cook, literally none, which was disappointing but meant we could be out the front far more often, actually meeting and talking to you the viewers which was amazing! So thanks to everyone that came over to say hi and the new viewers we managed to get alone the way!

  1. Oh,I just see, me no have time,too late still need to clean kitchen ,will watch later, chicken feet baroque when finish work,yum yum 😊

  2. I have always personally struggled making this one. Great educational watch thanku. Explaining why you do something is so important. Cheers.

  3. Seen videos on Fb where so many takeaways always add beansprouts before noodles, then when you comment about beansprouts being overcooked some wiseacre comments, what takeaway did you run!?
    Knobheads!

  4. Best ever Singapore chow mein I've seen, anytime I ver had one from a takeaway always seems greasy!

  5. That looks delicious!

    I lived in Singapore for 23 years and not once did I see ‘Singapore Chow Mein’, or ‘Singapore- style noodles’ in any restaurant or hawker centre, yet since I’ve been back in the UK for the last one year, I think I’ve seen it on practically every UK Chinese restaurant menu, and many Youtubers have been making it.

    Apparently, this SIngapore Chow Mein was introduced in Hong Kong Following World War II, when Cantonese chefs in Hong Kong began blending traditional Chinese stir-fry techniques with curry powder.

    Curry had been introduced to Hong Kong by the British – I’m assuming more correctly, by Indian immigrants to Hong Kong – and because Singapore was renowned for its diverse Indian and Chinese communities, Hong Kong chefs named the curried noodle dish ‘Singapore-style’ to evoke a sense of exotic Southeast Asian fusion. And over the decades, this ‘iconic’ dish became a staple in Chinese takeaways and restaurants across the US, UK, and Australia.

    Either way, I’m definitely going to be making your version (minus the prawns) next time I get my wok out of the cupboard 👌

    By the way, I’ve pre-ordered your new cook book on Amazon and I’m looking forward to working my way through all your recipes.

    Keep up the great work!

  6. I ordered because of you . After your Good Food show visit toasty I am thinking Warburton Crumpets pre toasted then topped and grilled. Only because my dad and I love crumpets.
    I don't know if it will work Chin and not being a knob. My Belgian Malinios try's to do that to me when she sees a squirrel or a cat every morning.

  7. Couldn't find Jimmys sate on Amazon will have to wait till I get to the Asian market to purchase

  8. The way I used to get this, it had that slight charred or burnt flavour from a used very hot wok, theres a chinese term for this. It was also cooked to seem dry, slightly oily but dry texture, and it had an almost gritty feel to the curry paste or something. This is the proper way to do it and possibly the hardest part to reproduce at home. I dont know how it was done, exactly.

  9. Just a video production critique – you have the stereo swapped the wrong way, and even if it were the right way, it would really weird having one person per ear. Please mix them together in future like normal 🙂

  10. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes…. I love a Singapore chow mein! This looks Stunning 😍 I have only made it with Eastern Star curry powder before. Looking forward to doing it this way!
    Jimmy's has such a good Unami 👍 😊

  11. Excellent video! Please may I ask what brand of wok you use? I am looking for a non-stick one which can handle very high heat. Thank you kindly:)

  12. Looks amazing and I will be trying it on Saturday 😋
    Guys do you have anymore recopies featuring hoi sin sauce? Following your ingredients video I stocked my cupboards but I never seem to use the hoi sin which is a crying shame because it's fantastic. Any future recopies using it would be greatly appreciated

  13. No offense but I really detest the flavor of jimmys. The taste of the dried shrimp , to me, is something that I really can’t take. For satay, I will always make my own for the restaurant. Good luck to anyone who does enjoy the flavor and there are many! Good video guys, as usual.

  14. I just pre-ordered your new book. I wish you both all the success you deserve. Thank you for the recipes over the years. Now it's my payback time to you lovely two people. 👍

  15. I've got Your first cook book and I won't be able to get the second one anymore? 😔😔😔

  16. Just made it, best one yet. Already a fan of the Jimmy's, but first time using it in Singapore chow mein. Cheers you two, and have a good weekend.
