Tips:

  • Prep Vegetables in Advance: To save time during cooking, chop and prepare all your vegetables before you start cooking.
  • Use Quality Soy Sauce: A good soy sauce makes all the difference in this dish. Look for a soy sauce that is naturally brewed and has a rich, umami flavor.
  • Add Cashews at the End: Cashews burn easily, so it's best to add them towards the end of cooking to ensure they stay crunchy.
  • Serve Immediately: Chow mein is best served immediately after it's cooked, when the noodles are still hot and chewy.
