## What's Chicken Chow Mein

Chicken chow mein is a popular Chinese dish that is enjoyed worldwide. It combines tender chicken, colorful vegetables, and savory sauce in a perfect balance of flavors. This recipe will teach you how to make a healthier alternative to takeaway chicken chow mein that is full of nutrients and flavor.

## Top Tips and Secrets for Making the Best Chicken Chow Mein

- Marinate the chicken pieces to ensure they become tasty by themselves.
- To ensure your chicken pieces are not overcooked, cook them separate in the pan just by themselves.
- To ensure your vegetables don't become overcooked, stir-fry the vegetables by themselves. Stop cooking while they still have a bit of crunch as will finish cooking them with the noodles, chicken and sauce.
- When stir-frying the vegetables, start with the ones that are the hardest (bell pepper and carrots) and finish off with the softest (beansprouts).
- When cooking the egg noodles, no need to boil the water. Hot water is enough.
- Do not overcook the noodles by submerging them too long in the hot water. Remember that we will finish cooking the noodles off in the pan.
- If you notice too much runny liquid in your wok, add a tsp of cornflour mixed in a teaspoon of water. This should thicken the juices up. Try to work quickly to avoid overcooking the other ingredients.

## What Makes Chicken Chow Mein So Good?

There are a few factors that contribute to the deliciousness of chicken chow mein.

First, the combination of tender chicken, soft noodles, and crunchy vegetables creates a satisfying texture.

The savory sauce, which is typically made with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and other seasonings, adds depth of flavor to the dish.

Finally, the use of fresh ingredients and the cooking method, which typically involves stir-frying, helps to preserve the natural flavors of the chicken and vegetables.

Overall, the combination of flavors, textures, and cooking techniques in Chicken Chow Mein make it a tasty and satisfying dish.

## What is in Chow Mein?

- Egg Noodles: These egg noodles should be readily available at your grocery store. If you can't find any, you can go ahead and substitute your favourite noodles. There are even groceries selling pre-cooked egg noodles that you can simply mix into your stir fry.
- Vegetables: Feel free to use any spare vegetables in this dish. We chose bell pepper, carrots and bean sprouts but these can easily be substituted with broccoli, mushrooms, leeks, etc. Watch out for too much liquid in your dish from the vegetables. If you notice too much moisture leaking down at the bottom of your wok, you can thicken this up with 1 tsp of cornflour mixed with 1 tsp of cold water.
- Protein: When using chicken, pork or beef, ensure to marinade them for at least 4 hours to ensure you can get full flavour from them. For a vegetarian option, you can use firm tofu instead.
- Sauce: The sauce is a mix of oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil and sugar. The light soy sauce and oyster sauce adds saltiness and umami to the dish. The dark soy sauce adds color. The sugar adds a bit of sweetness and some caramelisation to the dish. And finally, the sesame oil adds a distinctive earthy flavour to the dish.
- Sauce Thickener: If you see your dish suddenly oozing with too much liquid, then you can thicken the sauce up with a tsp of cornflour mixed with a teaspoon of cold water. Stir this up quickly so that the rest of the ingredients don't overcook.

## Top Tips and Secrets for the Perfect Quick and Easy Chicken Lo Mein

- Marinate your chicken pieces for at least 30 minutes or even overnight. This ensures you have tasty chicken pieces. The baking soda also tenderizes the meat and helps to prevent it from being overcooked and tough.
- Stir-fry the chicken pieces separately from the vegetables. This ensures you don't overcook the chicken pieces.
- Stir fry the vegetables separately to ensure they don't get overcooked. Start with the hardest onces like carrots and bell pepper, and finish off with the softest ones like mushrooms.
- When cooking the egg noodles, do not use boiling water. Warm water is enough. Slightly undercook the noodles as we will finish it off in the wok with the Lo Mein sauce.

## What are the Ingredient Substitutes to Make Chicken Lo Mein?

- Instead of chicken, feel free to use any other protein you have like pork, beef, tofu and even seafood like shrimps. Be sure to cut your protein pieces in the same sizes so they all cook together.
- Feel free to use any leftover vegetables you have like broccoli.
- If you don't have hoisin sauce, you can use either oyster sauce or a mix of soy sauce, peanut butter and some sugar.
- If you don't have Shaoxing cooking wine, you can use some light beer like lager. Careful not to use stout or ale as these are a bit too bitter.

## What Can I Serve with Chicken Lo Mein

Chicken Lo Mein can already be served by itself, but it will also work well with any other Chinese or Asian dishes.

## Chicken Chow Mein vs Chicken Lo Mein

Chicken Chow Mein and Chicken Lo Mein are two popular Chinese dishes that may seem similar, but there are some differences in their ingredients and cooking methods.

### Noodles

The main difference between Chicken Chow Mein and Chicken Lo Mein is the type of noodles used and how they are prepared. Chow Mein typically uses thin, crispy egg noodles that are either pan-fried or deep-fried until they are crispy. In contrast, Lo Mein uses soft egg noodles that are boiled and then stir-fried with the other ingredients.

### Cooking Method

Chicken Chow Mein is often prepared by stir-frying the vegetables and chicken separately, then combining them with the crispy noodles and a sauce at the end. Chicken Lo Mein, on the other hand, involves stir-frying the cooked, soft noodles together with the vegetables, chicken, and sauce, creating a more homogenous dish.

### Sauce

The sauce for Chicken Chow Mein is usually lighter and less complex, often consisting of soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sometimes a bit of sugar. Chicken Lo Mein's sauce tends to be richer and more flavorful, with ingredients like dark soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and Shaoxing cooking wine in addition to the soy sauce and oyster sauce.

### Texture

Due to the difference in noodles and cooking methods, Chicken Chow Mein has a crispier texture with a mix of crunchy noodles and tender vegetables and chicken, while Chicken Lo Mein has a softer, more uniform texture with the noodles, vegetables, and chicken all well-coated in the sauce.

## Nutrition Information

Based on the ingredients used, each serving of Chicken Lo Mein provides the following approximate nutritional values:
