  • Yes I have and I've cooked it at home. It's like a soupy lo mein, some broth with wheat noodles. I love making it with pork or duck
  • The only ingredients in "yat Gaw Mien" is the noodles. In Cantonese Yat means 1. Gaw means piece or item. Mein means noodles. So basically it means 1 item noodles. What they will put in the noodles will be down to the place you get it from. Most though will put a little bit of seasoning in and bean-sprouts. If you wanted duck in it, then it would be "yat gaw AP mien" 1 item duck noodles. Lo mien is just another way of saying noodles. I'm interested to know where you saw or heard this?
  • I used to eat "Yock" in Philadelphia's China Town in the middle 1960's. It was tradition. My grandfather would take me to a Phillies game at Connie Mac Stadium a few times a summer and the first stop was always China Town for dinner before the game. He didn't call it Yat-Gaw-Mein. He'd say, "Let's get a big bowl of Yock". Or Pork Yock. It was wonderful. A big bowl of this tasty soy sauce colored broth loaded with noodles and pork and scallion. I hadn't thought about it in years. Looks like I'm going to have to take the family into Philadelphia for dinner this Saturday. Hopefully we'll get back home in time to watch -- you guessed it -- the Phillies battle the NY Yankees in the World Series. Amazing how things always seem to come full circle. :)
  • Yat Gaw Mein is a beef noodle soup with vegetables. I found it rather weak tasting. +3
