Excuse the lengthy video, we're a bit passionate about fried noodles!
There's a million different fried noodle dishes in China - we wanted to share one of our favorites, the Cantonese 'Supreme Soy Sauce' Fried Noodles. A lot of fried noodle dishes in China are really oily (which is alright too) - but this Cantonese style has very little oil, is pretty easy to make, and is quite tasty.
This is 'chow mein' (which is the Cantonese word for chaomian - fried noodles), but if you're looking for some Panda express style American-Chinese food, you're watching the wrong video. This is the real deal, the sort of noodles that you'd find in a nice noodle shop in Hong Kong or Guangzhou.
A detailed recipe with an ingredient list and a discussion on technique is here on reddit, from /r/cooking:

One more thing - at 7:30 in the video, we really wanted to show you guys what a 'xiaochao' in the street looks like. A special thank you to RU-vidr 'Felipe Lima', who shot that awesome footage. You can find the full video here:

ABOUT US
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm Chris Thomas from the United States and I've been living as an expat in China now for upwards of nine years, most of which in Shenzhen. I love living here, and the food is absolutely incredible. I read and speak some Chinese, and have been trying to religiously recreate the most authentic versions of the food I've eaten and loved here.
My partner in these videos is Stephanie Li, my similarly food-and-travel-obsessed long term girlfriend. She's a translator from Guangzhou and is an incredible home cook. Sometimes I'll be behind the wok but usually it'll be her cooking.
