Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your chow mein the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the noodles, be sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from sticking together and cooking evenly.
  • Cook the noodles until they are al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian. This means that the noodles should be cooked until they are tender, but still have a little bit of a bite to them.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the food from sticking.
  • Add the sauce gradually: Start by adding a small amount of sauce and then gradually add more until you reach the desired flavor.
  • Serve immediately: Chow mein is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will prevent the noodles from becoming soggy.
