Chow Mein Ingredients

Egg Noodles / Yakisoba : Normally chow mein is made with yakisoba or egg noodles available to you. If you cant find either then you can always use whatever merk or variety of noodles you get to use in this recipe. The sauce does the magic.

Chow Mein Sauce: The chicken chow mein sauce plays the trick to make chow mein noodle the best.

Veggies of your Choice: I have used scallions/spring onion,bell peppers,carrot,celery and cabbage. You can also use snap peas,broccoli or any other veggies of your choice.

Chicken: I have used chicken breast meat but you can also use thigh meat too as its more juicier and retains moisture.
To use chicken in this recipe I have tenderized the chicken with cornstarch/soy sauce/salt and pepper powder.

What are Chow Mein Noodles

Normally chow mein is made with egg noodles/yakisoba or even dry chow mein noodles.

I personally like either dry chowmein noodles or egg noodles but you can always go with whatever best option available with you.

These noodles are mostly available in Asian markets.
