Longinus00 posted:You're thinking of the Cantonese specific version which is pan fried. "Chow mein" literally is stir fried noodles. Lo mein is when you just mix noodles with a sauce. I believe your confusion comes from American Chinese cuisine where you can call your dish whatever you want and no one will know. Hmm. Well, the Chinese restaurants in the city where I live are at least internally consistent, because at every one the difference between chow mein and lo mein has simply been whether the noodles are crunchy or soft respectively. I'm not just talking about the takeout places, either.

Longinus00 posted:My bad, you're right. I didn't really pay attention to the Cooking Mama part of the video when I watched it earlier but the end product does looks like noodle soup with "knife cut noodles". Ok, that makes more sense than shaving what seemed to be an egg. I vote spaghetti on the proviso you make your own pasta.

According to wikipedia's extensive article about chow mein, the name issue is apparently a regional thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chow_mein#American_Chinese_cuisine quote:There is a regional difference in the US between the East and West Coast use of the term "chow mein." On the East Coast, "chow mein" is always the crispy or "Hong Kong style." Also I forgot to vote: samosas.

Bobbin Threadbare posted:What was with Cooking Mama's chow mein? Chow mein means the noodles are fried and hard; lo mein is what you call it when you add soft, boiled noodles instead. Chow mein is only crispy in cantonese restaurants mostly in the US. Chow mein means fried noodles, you have to fry the absolute crap out of noodles to make them crispy.

No, in fact I would argue that is almost literally the entire point of the thread. The fact that the Cooking Mama games are basically all just a series of lovely minigames that actually teach you very little about real life cooking. All the VA is amazing tho.

For those who care I recorded the Spagheppi footage, I just have to edit and commentate it now. Except as I mentioned in the Beyond Two Souls thread I have a new job so I'm not sure how long it'll be until I get into the swing of things there.

Oh hey what a video Sorry that took so long. Real life poo poo and all that.    Recipe Take a box of your favorite spaghetti. Or any kind of pasta really. Prepare it according to the directions on the box (salt the water, boil it, cook it, drain it) But the important bit here is the sauce. 1 jar Tomato Sauce, any variety you want. I used Trader Joe's brand Garlic Tomato Sauce in the video but I generally just buy whatever is on sale. 4-6 strips bacon 1/2 tube Sausage 1 lb ground beef 1 half onion, chopped salt and pepper to taste And whatever else you might want to add This isn't rocket science really. Cook up your ground meats, add some cooked bacon, the onion, and cook in the same pan until the onion is slightly translucent. Dump all that poo poo into a sauce pot big enough for a ton of meat + a jar of tomato sauce. Allow to simmer for however long it takes for you to get water boiling and pasta to be done. Once the pasta is cooked, mix the sauce in. It's that simple! Music Seinfeld Dubstep Remix The Fiery Furnaces - 1917 Handsome Furs - Face Control Voting Samosas Chicken Kiev Chicken Kebabs
