CHICKEN CHOW MEIN - EASY!
From BBC's Chinese Food Made Easy, the best recent TV cookery show. Very simple to make, and tasty! I added a little more five-spice than the original recipe. Omit the chilli sauce if you wish, or add a little more to give it extra zing. If you don't have groundnut oil (peanut oil), use vegetable oil, NOT olive oil, which is too strong flavoured. Serves two as a main course, or four as a side dish.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your chow mein.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too much food to the pan, it will steam instead of fry and you won't get that nice crispy texture.
- Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Overcooked noodles will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
- Use a wok or a large skillet. A wok is the traditional Chinese cooking pan, but a large skillet will also work.
- Heat the oil over high heat. This will help to sear the noodles and vegetables and give them a nice smoky flavor.
- Add the noodles and vegetables to the pan and stir-fry until they are tender. Don't overcook them, or they will become mushy.
- Add the sauce and cook until the noodles are evenly coated.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Conclusion:
Chow mein is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover vegetables and noodles, and it can be easily customized to your own taste. With a little practice, you can make chow mein that is just as good as your favorite takeout restaurant. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give chow mein a try!
