Chicken Chow Mein is a Cantonese noodle dish with fried egg noodles and tender chicken chunks. It is a trendy and delectable noodle dish that everybody loves.
In this cooking instruction, you will learn how to make it the way Chinese restaurants serve it takeaway (takeout).
The following essential items are required for the recipe:
- Egg Noodles – you may get fresh or dried egg noodles.
- Poultry meat. I like skinless and boneless chicken breasts, although chicken thighs are great.
- Cabbage, bean sprouts, and carrots
- Sauce for chow mein
As a result, hurry to the grocery shop and start this meal tonight! You will not be sorry.
Chow mein sauce is produced using oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and water. The sauce imparts a delectable savory flavor to the noodles.
Tenderize the chicken by coating it with corn starch. This ensures delicate and smooth chicken in Chinese restaurants.
For the most outstanding results, use a deep skillet or Chinese wok.
Preheat the utensil over a high heat source. Stir fry the chicken, veggies, and egg noodles by tossing and turning them back and forth with a spatula.
Use a pair of Chinese long wooden chopsticks instead of a spatula if you have them.
Chopsticks will prevent the noodles from disintegrating throughout the cooking process.
Lo Mein is a Chinese noodle meal in which the noodles are combined with the sauce rather than stir-fried.
