What is Chow Mein?
Chow mein is a stir-fry attic dish that is made in many different variations. Traditional chow mein is made with fried noodles but often zhou mein is prepared with boiled lo mine, chow mein, or yaki-soba noodles. then it is added to a vegetable stimulate child with chicken or beef and a chow mein sauce .
If you would like to make this zhou mein recipe even more authentic, try frying the noodles in a little spot of oil before adding them to the pan .
What is Chow Mein made of?
There are many variations of chow mein but this chow mein is made with noodles, pilfer, celery, green onions, and garlic .
Chow Mein sauce is made with sesame oil, soy sauce, oyster sauce, ginger, brown sugar, and cornstarch .
I like to use refrigerate yakisoba noodles to make chow mein, but you can use dried chow mein noodles, lo mein, or spaghetti noodles. Yakisoba noodles can be found at most grocery stores near the bean curd and won ton wrappers, in the refrigerated section .
What other vegetables can I add to Chow Mein?
Feel free to add more vegetables to your chow mein ! Bok choy, bell peppers, mushrooms, snap peas, broccoli, and water chestnuts would all work well .

What’s the difference between lo mein and chow mein?
Lo Mein and Chow Mein are two popular Chinese-American dishes that are very exchangeable and much even used interchangeably. The main dispute between these two chinese dishes is in the noodles. Lo Mein is typically made with dense noodles ( think spaghetti ) where Chow Mein is made with thin noodles that are traditionally fried and crisp .
