I had these growing up in Salem MA. They served them at Salem Willows park. They had white sauce not brown. Serving them since 1912 the original place closed in 2023 and recently was reopened. They are called Chop Suey sandwiches on the North Shore. Those South Shore people are crazy. lol.
Most importantly, the chop suey sandwich an iconic regional food that consists of bean sprouts and pieces of chicken cooked in a thick sauce and dolloped onto a hamburger bun will still be on the menu at the new Salem Lowe. The restaurant’s popular pepper steak sandwich is also making a return.

Technically up here in Fall River MA, home of the OG chow mein sandwich, chow mein in general here is made with a slightly different chow mein noodle vs the typical noodle. They are fried and crunchy and not boiled. If you look up Oriental Chow Mein Company, or Hoo-Mee Chow Mein (both Fall River companies, you will see what I mean. The meat/veggies are made in more of a brown gravy which is then tossed with the fried noodles and poured all over the bread and ends up being a wet sandwitch like a roast beef sandwich being soaked in au jus.

I'll throw in a little something for those wary of oyster sauce. I've tried oysters in the past, and wouldn't eat an oyster if it was the last food on Earth, because they're DISGUSTING. But oyster sauce is totally OK. It actually makes your stir fry taste smoother and a bit richer, maybe even a little sweet, with - and I'm totally not kidding - zero fishy or oyster-y taste. It's weird, but it just works.

There was a place in Calgary back in the day called Bad Ass Jack's and they had subs and wraps, and you could get noodles in the wraps, don't remember regarding the subs because I always got wraps, anyway. They were like ramen noodles in these wraps, cooked, of course, sauced, and whatever other wrap ingredients strike one's fancy. Anyway, maybe on this theme you could try and make one of those

I watch a lot of anime and read a lot of manga and something that always confused me was the portrayal of Yakisoba-pan which is pretty much a yakisoba sandwich. It looks like this except it's in an elongated bun and I think there's no protein. I'm definitely making this one I just need to get my hands on a decent wok.

Gotta be the Hoo-Mee noodles as others have said, its a whole new level better than any other noodles out there for something like this. Order some online, and keep them in the freezer till your ready to use em. You have no idea what your missing till you tried real New England chow mein

Yeah man. It’s a good effort, but you didn’t use Hoo Mee Fall River Chow Mein noodles, so it’s only kind of a Chow Mein sandwich. Also, it’s more of a south eastern New England thing than it is a Rhode Island thing. Rhode Island and South Eastern Mass. I grew up with this.

Sam, I grew up eating something similar. I’m a Filipino and my mom would take leftover pancit and place it on pan de sol, sprits some lemon juice, and eat it like a sandwich.
I still make this whenever I have leftovers of pancit. Also, it’s good for breakfast!

Over the years, I've put just about EVERYTHING in a sandwich! Used to do Beef Curry and Rice sarnies as a teenager after school. Lasagne sandos are brilliant! Salt and Vinegar crisps (chips to you strange folks over the pond. Spag Bol. But this is a new one! I must try!

It’s a Massachusetts thing there Sammy boy not Rhode Island. . And this is not even close to being it. Chowmein up here is a brown gravy with hardly any vegetables in it and you just put the crispy chow mein noodles in it and then throw that on the bun.

Glad you like it Sam because I think it sucks. I watch your videos all the time. So I'm not apologizing. This may be the worst recipe you've ever come up with and not sure why. If that's what they eat in Rhode Island that explains a lot.

My only addition to this or other chow mein dishes are to put a blow torch to them to finish off the fish and give the breath of the wok flavor. Only takes 10 seconds max and it makes all the difference.

This would be amazing if it was put on the same bread as a lobster roll.
Also: I've made a sandwich out of Instant Ramen Noodles before. Bread, butter, and the seasoned instant Ramen. Its quite filling.

Dude! What you blaming Rhode Island on this sandwich Sure, maybe is delish, not RI. If there is any sandwich attributable to Rhode Island, it is a Dynamite. Look it up, Woonsocket, RI.

I don't know man. Not for me.
Shock the noodles with cold water BTW. Rinses the starch and prevents over-cooking. And add garlic at end with green onion - it'll change your LIFE son.

This reminds me of the spaghetti sandwiches I made as a kid: leftover sauced spaghetti noodles (heated) between 2 slices of buttered bread. I loved that - and I am sure I would love this.

Hey Sam since you mentioned beef chow fun how about making that Also make the noodles from scratch since they are hard to find even in an Asian grocery store. Keep up the great work!

Actually you need completely different kind of noodles for the real Fall River chicken chow mein. It’s a hard brown noodle that softens with the brown gravy chow mein sauce.
