I Made The Best Chinese Takeout Meal Ever 

Can you do a video about herbs? Parsley, thyme, sage, etc? When to use, the flavors they add, tips and tricks?

Who else loves to watch Josh’s videos but never make his dishes?

One of my best friends growing up was Chinese, and her ancient grandmother was always in the kitchen making egg rolls by hand...every time I went over, she was always their rolling up dozens of eggrolls. I benefitted from this friendship enormously. And not just from the great food, but we were like souls sisters. Still miss her.

I am so glad that Josh is showing us how to make these things at home. It's getting TOO EXPENSIVE to eat out for families, so we are learning to cook everything at home now.

Of all the over the top things Josh does/has, the pristine clean and shiny baking sheet might be the biggest

I'm so glad Beef & Broccoli was included it is literally my favorite whenever we do chinese takeout!

My parents are both from Portugal, so, during my entire childhood, all I ate was what my mom cooked, which she learned from her mom, and so on. Then, at some point, I dated a girl who was taking French classes. She became friends with people from a lot of different countries and every now and then, we were invited to eat at their place, so I had the chance to eat typical homemade food from India, Thailand, Indonesia... I could never really afford to travel to different places but just trying all this different food made by people from all those different places, it really opened my mind to different flavours! Also, if you like to cook, you can try to make those dishes yourself but even better, you can choose what you like best from each of these dishes and make your own meal. Some people might feel offended if you change one of their typical meals by mixing in ingredients from a completely different country but I think that, as long as you're not claiming that you're "improving" a traditional meal but you're creating your own, inspired by different cultures and traditions, you're doing nothing wrong.

I ordered your book and you have no idea how much you have encouraged, blessed, and really lifted my spirit! Thank you so much!!!

"What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?"

I hope I’m not the only one to say this. It’s so refreshing seeing this type of video. Josh does amazing creative stuff but a staple recipe video is phenomenal

Uncle Roger is watching you

I love cooking Asian foods. I was impressed with your ingredient selections especially on your sauces which is critical on Asian cooking! Couldn't help laughing and smiling at your humor. Thank you! Can't wait to actually cook these dishes!

Hey Joshua , I like your way to describe the different tipes of food that you eat and you cook, I can understand almost every word you say so every video is a new food esperiece and a free english lesson where I try to learn many words as possible to try to use them in my videos. I wanted to say thank you so much for the really nice job you are doing, keep going like this. ah subscribed!

man, i always love your videos. Killing it, i always want to try these recipes.

This chef!!! All the cooking techniques and actually recipes love it all

I have immense respect for anything Josh preps/present based on my personal experience with cooking for decades.

Love the lo mein, but Egg rolls with hot mustard are to die for. A solid chicken soup. Cleans the sinuses and warms the heart. Addictive. Great with beer.

My mom got me both of your cook books for Easter! I love your vids and I've already made two of your recipes!

Definitely going to be trying a few of those recipes. Your book is now on my birthday wish list.

it's interesting to me how this is such a vastly different selection to what I would consider classic chinese take-out (I'm german). Cool to think about how different cultures shape the way other cultures' foods are interpreted and consumed

15:31 Josh: "Lo Mein! I love Lo Mein" also Josh: "... I like Lo Mein, but I don't love it." whaaaaa???

A round of applause for the insane amount of efforts done in this video. Thanks Joshua for this high quality content, i salut you sir!

Appreciate all you do Josh your food looks so good I started learning to cook😂

You could never forget your husky friend to share a meal!!!! Love it…foood looks amazing! 😋

Probably some of the best, most well produced food video series I've seen on RU-vid.. It was like watching a movie. Joshua makes it so compelling. You can't help but root for him. 👍👍👍

Thanks for sharing this recipe 😊👌

Nothing beats a succulent Chinese meal

Your special effects guy is on point. Lol Josh has made my husband a happier man! 😂 Finding a chef that speaks to my adhd and gives the perfect details to the questions I didn’t know I had, is just amazing!!! Ah!

I love how Joshua, Uncle Roger and Guga released videos within the same hour

Oh man, just recently started to watch Your videos on 2x speed (You know to save some time - "But faster") and those high-pitched sounds on doubles-speed make my day. 😂

Everything looks amazing

I've just made your Eggroll recipe!!! It is so simple and yet so yummy. Thank you so much for this amazing recipe. It will become a keeper for my family.

Josh. Please do more but cheaper. Times are hard

Now we need: - Chinese Chicken Wings - BBQ Spare Ribs - Egg Drop Soup - Pork Egg-Foo Young - Sweet n Sour Chicken Also, Pork Fried Rice is the superior fried rice.

Love these!! Definitely useful!!

Sooo... I made the beef and broccoli recipe from this video tonight for dinner Honestly, the best beef and broccoli I've ever had. Thanks!

You missed the greatest secret for the dumplings, to add a little potato starch and baking powder to the filling. It will get juicier if you do that.

crab rangoon is my fav

Yess! This is all my favourite stuff, general tsos, sweet & sour sauce is elite

I have also been making egg rolls lately, I have made the original Pork one's, also made Big Mac, Ruben Sandwiches Rolls!! Love Them!

really hit the classics here, but I'm begging for a mapo tofu recipe too!

2:08 “i just like to control my product” -Joshua, the Hisenberg of food

I think this is the best, you did every thing right. Perfect take out meal !

There are so many recipes in this video, that I had to download it 😊

Joshua, you have outdone yourself! Everything is so delicious just looking at it! Bravo!

This will be my food project for next week, tyvm

Love these new videos!

Kind of enjoyed the format of this episode. More then in the past with similar episodes. Ty, broccoli beef is one of my favorites.

I've always loved General Tso's chicken, fried rice, and egg rolls!

Idea for a video. Substitutions! especially for alcohol stuff. How to substitute and what you should be looking for when substituting wine for a steak sauce for example

Egg rolls are probably my favorite food ever and I've been making them at home for many years. One time, I made homemade egg rolls at a house party, people were drinking and partying hard, I put the egg rolls out, a pyramid of them stacked on a plate , one person tried one and word of mouth spread fast, they were gone very quickly and I got lots of compliments and questions about it. No lie, homemade egg rolls are not comparable to any other egg roll from a restaurant or frozen food isle. It gets so much better. Personally I go heavier on the veggie ratio and use nice little bite cubes of fresh ginger, black pepper, garlic, green onion, mushroom, those flavors play off eachother.

9 millions subscribers! Good job Josh! Great channel!

Guga and JW in an hour? Hell yeah

i would change lo me in with egg drop soup i love eggdrop soup - wonton can be delicious, but so many places do a cheap broth with a lot of soup mix , a really though out wonton soup is out of this world😊

The beef and broc was soooo good!! I've already made it twice and bought a new wok❤ really simple but flavorful.

Thanks Joshua! I am making this for Shabbat, sans pork, after Pesach. Lo Amein is a good swap for the Tehina noodles I have been making.

It's interesting on how different chinese menus are from country to country. in germany every chinese restauraunt has the best sweet and sour duck. it is my absolute favourite

The longest step of all the recipes will be the cleaning

Love your video! just want to share a small tip:when you mix the meat stuff of eggroll or potsticker, you can blend it from one direction, either clockwise or counter clockwise. That will help the meat to block the juice and flavour.

Crab cheese puffs!! I’d also add egg drop soup, that was an app we always ordered with a lunch special. The egg rolls can be made with a firm tofu sub for the meat! And I used to use the Soy Vey teriyaki sauce to flavour the filling. Super easy and delicious.

I kinda miss the old recipe videos

I came here to say, “cartouche”. That is all.

My mouth watered the entire video

Nice video 🥰 thank you for sharing

Crab Rangoon

"I love lo mein!". Tries it, two seconds later, "I like lo mein but I don't love it"

Congrats on 9 million!

I like all the flavor comments and tones they make it epic when he straight starts singing its legendary what a G

The best Asian wrap I've ever had was Laotian spring rolls. A co-worker from Laos made them for a potluck and it was astoundingly good. I had to stop myself from stealing the whole dish.

This is why I go to Chinese RU-vid channels for Chinese food.

Watching this video was what finally made me cave and start a coveted playlist slot for recipes and ideas 🌮🍔🥩🤤

I am visiting your channel for the first time. Your video is very beautiful and I support you❤

The small plastic storage containers holding liquid ingredient measurements is an interesting choice lol

Happy Easter papa! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🐇🐇🐇🐇

Worked prep at a Thai restaurant so I laughed and seriously side-eyed you when you said "The rest is extremely easy". I couldn't get the hang of rolling wrappers to save my life! So 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

Thank you Joshua Weissman, for showing & inspiring me to make Chinese takeout! I made the General Tso’s Chicken and.... while it was excellent the sauce lacked something (maybe honey and or siracha/chili oil) compared to Montreal take out General Tso (what I was hoping to recreate). The gooey texture was spot on for the sauce and the chicken marinated overnight then deep fried was perfection!

2:04 Joshua became Gustavo for a moment 💀🔥

As a person from the uk, I believe that we've been doing Chinese takeout as a sit-down meal for years. However I can't speak for other countries

Just from looking at the thumbnail, without watching one second of your video, when I saw the title that "you made the best Chinese takeout meal ever", I thought "Dude, I believe you!". Looks great!

As someone from the UK I have to say I highly rate the recipes, as well as loving your "British" accent at 6:13 😃

I took the WOKKKKKK TO POLANNDDD

Velveting is egg whites,corn starch, Shaoxing wine, white pepper, soy sauce. No baking soda. Baking soda is used sometimes to tenderize tough meat before velveting, and then its only 4-5 minutes at the most.

I love the new formula, you deserve your 9M Jesus that’s a lot, subscribers

i appreciate you doing recipe videos again! i like the other content too but i cant live without a papa recipe video

I just noticed something. You desperately need a pop filter for your mic man, it really pops HARD right now :D (at least around the 2min mark where I'm currently at)

Plum sauce is the most underrated condiment and should always be used for dumplings.

Thank you for long format videos

OMG!!!! I made your egg rolls and sauce from this video and when I tell you how much these are AWARD WINNING THE SAUCE AND EGG ROLLS ARE QUITE LITERALLY THE BEST IVE EVER HAD BY A LOOOOONG SHOT BRAVO!!👏👌

I NEED TO HAVE YOUR COOKING

The perfect Easter episode! 🙌

Made the beef & broccoli tonight…WOW!! Family devoured it!! Thanks Papa!! 🥰

CHINESE TAKE AWAY IS A GOAT🔥🔥🔥

As a chinese, my best chinese dinner courses are Crispy oatmeal chicken Steamed egg Hotpan tofu Minced pork french bean Yum, I can eat this combo for my whole Life

I'm addicted to this channel

My favorite takeout place closed down forever a couple years ago and I miss their lo mein! I'm going to try making some at home this week. :D

I love it when Joshua posts an actual cooking video instead of clickbait bullshit :3

It is missing Crab Rangoon. For sure.

you should do a video on what ingredients to always have on hand or the most used ingredients

Whoa when did you get 9 million subs?! Hell yeah! WTG!!

I love Chinese food
