Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, crisp vegetables, tender pork, and a flavorful sauce.
Marinate the pork for at least 30 minutes to help it tenderize and absorb the flavors of the marinade.
Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Be sure not to overcook them, or they will become mushy.
Stir-fry the vegetables and pork over high heat to keep them crisp and flavorful. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the food will not cook evenly.
Add the sauce to the noodles and vegetables and stir-fry until everything is evenly coated.
Serve the chow mein immediately, garnished with green onions, sesame seeds, and chili peppers, if desired.
