Chicken Chow Mein

Chow mein is a traditional Chinese dish made of egg noodles and stir-fried vegetables. Our favorite protein is chicken, but you can also use tofu or other meats. The noodles are pan-fried to get them crispy, and then they’re tossed with a delicious sauce. Chow mein can be an superb option for nights when you do not want to dirty many pans and make a mess in the kitchen.

The thick, dark sauce tossed over the noodles gives it its distinctive flavor. The perfect balance between sweet and salty makes it impossible to put down the chopsticks.

Chow mein Ingredients:

• Chow Mein noodles: Chow Mein noodles are make from wheat and eggs. These noodles are similar to Italian pasta and have a great bite. The Asian aisle is usually where you can find dry chow-mein noodles. You may discover pre-cooked noodles in the refrigerator section if you’re lucky. These can be put directly into your pan.
• Chow mein is best served with carrots, cabbages, green onions and bean sprouts. Other vegetables like celery, bok choy or spinach can easily replace them. Use what you want or whatever is in your refrigerator!
• Meats: The best meat for cutting into strips is high-quality chicken breasts. You can substitute chicken for beef, pork, or shrimp.
  • Host vegetarians, too? You can also serve tofu cubes with your noodles.
