CHICKEN CHOW MEIN

Chicken Chow Mein is the most popular noodle dish in the world It all comes right down to the flavor.

Chicken Chow Mein is an instant hit. Everybody loves it. I believe it's due to the flavor that the noodles acquire when they are stir-fried with the condiment. It's a distinctive delicious flavour that covers the chicken, the vegetables, as well as the noodles, which is what I love the most. It's also a fantastic method to get your vegetables into. I like having chicken in my meals but shrimp, or simply veggies are also great.

A few ingredients create this the classic Chow Mein flavour

There are some ingredients that I would not replace or attempt to find substitutes for. Soy sauce and sesame oil provide these noodles a delicious flavour that is savory. It's impossible to get the same flavour without these two ingredients. The verdict isn't yet in on the noodles however. I'm sure Chow Mein noodles should be utilized for this, however there are times when I've not been able to locate these. It happens often and is the reason I usually use spaghetti to make this. The texture isn't quite like the critty Chow Mein noodles you should choose, but you can create the same taste by stir the noodles in a pan using a little bit of corn starch.

Variations let you make it your own

I enjoy adding my personal taste to recipes which is why you could easily incorporate your own flavour to these recipes for chicken Chow Mein. I like mixing up the veggies according to my mood and what's at home. I've included some substations and alternatives in the notes on the recipe below. This recipe is packed with flavour, but if are a fan of spicy food, you must absolutely go for this delicious spicy pasta noodles made of chicken. It's the same as Spicy Chicken Chow Mein and it's delicious. It's very similar, only the sauce is different.

NOTES

The noodles. It's a challenge to locate Chow Mein noodles (not the cracker similar ones. I prefer the chicken Chow Mein noodles) at all grocery stores. I don't always cut Chow Mein noodles in my kitchen; however, I always have a bag of spaghetti and it is great for this recipe. It is possible to use thin spaghetti or regular spaghetti. I typically use 3/4 of the box that is approximately 12 grams.

The vegetables. I like keeping them a small and crunch. It is possible to add any vegetable you like. Other alternatives to the ones that are mentioned above include broccoli, bell peppers, and bean sprouts.

You can save time. I enjoy being fast when cooking, and that's why I make use of a coleslaw bag for this chow-mien. It's faster when I don't need to chop the cabbage finely. I also prefer matchstick carrots.

Are you not a fan of chicken? Do not worry about it. Make the same dish simply substitute the chicken with the strips of lean beef or shrimp. If you're looking to be extravagant you can add two!
