list will be on my website smoking and Grilling with a.com and that's wab.com right so I'm going to be using L look real chain noodles you know what I'm going to give you guys a little hack you can use regular spaghetti not the angel but the regular spaghetti you know noodles that'll substitute just fine right so the first thing I'm getting ready to do is we want to cut this chicken down and we want to get it into a uh you know start our little marinade right so got my board out I'm going to go ahead and just start cutting these now look don't make the mistake that I always do look this is what I want to show you see this right here you want to cut these kind of small you know what I mean cuz you don't want to have all those big chunks inside of there I mean you can that's up to you really you know what I mean but I'm going to go ahead and do them small I like them like this cuz I want to get them in like every bite not just a big giant piece right so put this over here just like that now I'm not going to bore you guys I'm going to go ahead and just finish this up then when I'm done with this I'm going to show you what we do next all right so now I got my chicken you know cut down right so I want you guys to look you see the sizes don't forget once you hit that hot you know hot pan it's going to like kind of like draw back a little bit get a little bit smaller you know what I mean this one might be a little bit bigger but the main objective objective is to kind of like get them all the same size so that way they' be done at the same time right so I'm going to take these and put this inside of this bowl okay so look now what I do is this is what helps me and makes it so cool to like cook right so it's not stressfree you guys notice that I always use these little bowls they like candy dishes uh I use them for everything you know what I mean but so what I do is I make all I get all my measurements and I get everything out and then actually I line them out as the you know in order that I need them right so first thing we going to do is make this little marinade so I want you guys to pay attention I'mma to take my soy sauce right and then I'm going to come with my corn starch and this is where we going to let it sit we want to at least let it sit for about 15 20 minutes right so this should be the first thing that you do I got gloves on then I get in here and I just work this around you want to get everything nice and coated all right cornstarch soy sauce look at how it looks right again we want to go about 15 20 20 minutes be preferred you know what I mean I guess extra 5 minutes but 15 minutes right so got this done I'm going to put this off now we're getting ready to make the sauce now if you guys take a look just practicing what I preach listen I get all of my ingredients that I'm going to need next and this is going to be for my child main sauce right so I got everything already measured out and it's sitting right here in front of me now I want to show you guys this real quick look we got soy sauce oyster sauce sesame seed oil and this right here is hosing sauce right I suggest you guys get that listen I got a lot of recipes that I use these are going to be your base you know when we start doing these uh you know Asian type recipes you know what I mean super easy to get they readily available just about everywhere you know I mean so once you have them and we make these you know I mean you don't have to say well dang I got to go out and get them so I got everything here and check this out we going to be using fresh ginger right so you want to get yourself a bowl I'm going to go ahead and Grate this right now you can use you know Dry Ginger but you know what I'm thinking best way to go is fresh folks all right so now that we got the fresh ginger in here right the rest of our ingredients we going to put them all in here no particular order I just want to make sure that I get it all inside then you guys going to want to have yourself a whisk right so let me get it all in and this right here is going to be the sauce right this is what's going to make it fire folks all right once you get all your ingredients in you just want to go ahead and give it a mix right obviously I'm using this whisk you know what I mean we just want to get this and this is going to be that sauce folks this is what's going to give us that flavor that we all have come to you know love from having Chia main all right once you're done whisking what you want to do is you want to just set this off to the side I'mma leave this right there and I think what I'm going to do now is we going to go ahead and cook our noodles all right so we going to cook these per the instructions on the package right so let me you know you guys use whatever you use but make sure you read your package you want to make to you cuz after I get these going we going to start and then once we start everything will be come together and it be nice and fast all right so now that I got my pot boiling now listen my instructions say have your water boiling first then put them inside and then you just want to cook them for 3 minutes right so what I'm going to do is I'm just going to grab it you see how it is and I'm going to let it cook down on its own right not doing no break like we do spaghetti or nothing like that still got it on high let it come back up now meanwhile I want to show you guys look I already got got my bean sprouts done onions was already done you know what I mean and then we got our carrots while that's working let's get this down here while this is going I got a Minal timer going on on my head remember we just going 3 minutes after that we going to hit that colander and we going to make sure that it's we going to make sure that we stop that cooking process right but I just want to show you this part right here look I already started cutting some of these cares down here now after cutting that flat spot it keeps it from Rolling right so now I just go ahead and cut it down like this I'm just show you this part right here then we put this over here on the top like that then you guys can cut these down however you want to this is how we get the match sticks and then we just cut them however we want to see you know have them in the inside I don't like a lot of whole lot of I don't like a whole lot of carrots you know what I mean so this right here is fine enough for me but I just wanted to show you guys now we right at 3 minutes I'm going to go ahead turn my water on I got a colander here turn the fire off I'm coming over there and let's stop this process okay so now we sto the cooking process I'll just leave that over there in the sink I got my walk now listen just because I'm using a walk I mean that's more like traditional right but you can make this like in this you know uh in the skillet right so got me a wooden spoon let's look at my heat that's high we want to be like a medium high heat cuz we want it to go ahead and cook right that's just the way it's normally done now we going to bring our marinated chicken back into the game medium high heat right now we're going to come with our olve oil now this is infused olive oil you know what I mean this is uh branch and Vines uh garlic infused since we cooking with garlic it kind of like just makes sense don't it all right so let me just move this around a little bit now like I said we bringing the chicken back into play it's been marinating long enough you know longer the better all right so once this get hot we put that in there and then we going to cook it right now I always tell you guys and I practice what I preach which I didn't do in the very beginning I don't know how I did not do it you always want to keep yourself some hot soapy water right so when I'm done I like to wash my dishes as I go I got a dishwasher right here sometime I you know I load this up it depends on how big it is or whatever and the timing of my cooking right but when this bowl is look since we put the marinade it's got that cornstarch see that right there I'm going to rinse it I'm going to hit it in this water and while the chicken is cooking and I'm moving that around I'm going finish doing that and this can be ready to be put up Pro tips I can tell that my olive oil is uh ready to go CU it's got that little Shimmer on there right I got these big lights in here so I'm going going to take this and now we just add it okay so I'm moving this around cuz we want to get all of the chicken to cook on all the sizes right all sides so we want to have it completely cooked you guys can see it got that raw look to it then you can see where it's starting to cook and if you guys have a food thermometer you can like check a few to make sure chicken is done at 165 right so but don't worry this right here going to be Juicy you'll see so I'm going to turn turn my fire off I checked one of the bigger pieces we was at 162 but I know that we going to cook this a little bit more you know what I mean so this a finish and I'm still talking right so I'm going to take these take this out and just set this aside remember just that same bowl that I went ahead and cut it right fire is off now I just turned my fire back on I'm at a medium flame my walk is nice and hot right so what I want to do is I want to just hit it just a little bit with a little bit of that olive oil right right now we going to come with these onions now remember if anything uh stuck don't worry about it cuz the acidity in these onions is going to help pick everything up right get everything off the bottom and we all know what that is that's theine so I'm going to start with my onions and my carrots first and I already washed my you know my cabbage so what I want to do is I'm going to cut this off down cut that one off and then these pieces right here that you can see that look like they dirty you know what I mean we just peel them off too so we get those like that and now what I'm going to do is I'm just going to cut this down just like you see now what you going to need is just a couple of you're just going to need a couple of cuts I mean a couple of Cups right you don't need no whole lot that right there is good come back over here to your walk let's start moving this around let's start picking up some of that fine right you can add yourself just a little bit more as you cook you can just add whatever you need as far as oil goes to it you know need a whole lot we're not trying to deep fry it we're just trying to keep the bottom of it nice and moist and to get that fire on and what we really want to do is soften up them carrots and some of these onions so now come here and check this out you can see that these carrots are getting nice and soft right you can see as I'm pushing them they start to curl and you know look this is it right here this is what I like and look I can give you guys a little heads up it's if you don't want to keep adding oil to it which is okay you can see how all my fine got picked up but check this out watch this I'm going to walk this over here to my stove I mean to my sink just give it a little bit of water right come on back over this way and then we work you know what I mean and uh this right here moistens everything up and guess what it does it evaporates out leaving all of my flavor and everything picked up right so now that I'm looking at my cabbage I'm going get myself one more cut you know what I mean we'll just do it like that get this going now I like what I'm getting I don't want to make them like super super soft now we going to add our cabbage right man this is so easy to make folks now it might be a lot of talking that I'm doing cuz I'm explaining and it kill it cuts into my time just to get this video but these are the kind of things you make like super super super fast right so remember medium high back down on the bottom on your heat right now we going to come with our stir I mean our uh bean sprouts now this is something that a lot of people don't do and that's eat bean sprouts listen you don't have to have it you can leave that part out you know what I mean I when I was younger I didn't like it but now I seem to just like the beans BR right so now we want to sweat this down get that cabbage to get a little bit small sweaty release some of it's liquid you know which is cabbage ain't nothing but 80% water right so now you guys are understanding how it's all coming together right so we just keep this going and then you usually want to use the word stir fry because if you look at what I'm doing I keep this moving remember the heat is right here concentrated in the middle anytime something get too hot or something like that I push things off to the side just letting you guys know man there's so much you can do you know what I mean that just I'm trying to get everybody to start making some of these dishes we don't always have to go out to you know have take out all right so after about 2 or 3 minutes I want you guys to look at it you can see they sweating down just nicely you don't want to make them like uh like fried cabbage you know so we get them in there like that then we bring reintroduce you know our chicken you guys can see how it's coming back together right now and then check this out folk anything that left behind we not leaving no flavor all right so now we got it steaming real nice it heated reheats up the chicken and guess what folks it's child main time now I'm going to turn my fire off all right and you put your in there kind of like you know like cools it off anyway you hear I quick it quit sizzling you know and frying down there so now we just do it like this we just want to get it mixed up it's nice and hot right now I had this paper towel that was underneath the colender cuz obviously we rinsed it just to keep my kitchen clean right so now I'm going to go ahead and
