Homemade Chicken Chow Mein Recipe

Good Quality Noodles:

Chow Mein typically uses egg noodles, Chow Mein noodles are made with wheat and egg. They are very similar to Italian pasta noodles and have a wonderful bite to them. Most grocery stores carry dry chow Mein noodles in the Asian aisle. But, if you are lucky, you will find pre-cooked Chow Mein noodles in the refrigerated section that can be used in the recipe. The noodles should be boiled well, drained and then stir-fried with all the other ingredients together.

Sauces:

Each cuisine uses different Sauces, the Westernized and Indo-Chinese versions use their own sauces to suit the palate. Whatsoever, what's important is to use the right amount of sauce, just enough to bring out the flavour without leaving the noodles dry or soggy. Chow Mein gets its signature flavour from the sauces and the rice wine vinegar the noodles are tossed with. It gives the perfect balance of sweetness & sourness to the Chow Mein.

Vegetables:

Carrots, Cabbage, Capsicums/Bell Peppers are the perfect combination of veggies to use for Chow Mein. Greens like Bok Choy, Sawi, or veggies like Beans, Baby Corn, Mushrooms fits well into the recipe.

Meats:

Chicken Breasts are the best fit for slicing into strips for Chow Mein. But can easily swap Chicken with for beef, shrimp or pork.

The Heat on the Wok:

It has to be right—not too hot or too low. And it also helps to bring out the 'Aroma from the Wok', which is unique to Chinese Stir fries - stir-fry on high heat. The cook plays with the flame & the Oil in the dish, in & around the wok to give the dish a smoky aroma to the stir fries – may be its Fried Rice, Noodles or Veggies.

Authentic Stir-Fried Chicken Chow Mein

Method: Step-by-step guide on How to Make Chicken Chow Mein:

This quick chicken chow mein comes together in under 30 minutes and is best cooked on high heat for that signature takeaway-style flavour.

Step 1. Prepping the Noodle Base

Boil water in a large pot with a teaspoon of oil and salt.
Add noodles and cook until al dente (just soft but with a bite).

Pro Tip: |Immediately drain and rinse under cold running water. This "shocks" the noodles, stopping the cook and preventing them from turning into a gummy mass.

Step 2. Whisk the Sauce

In a small bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients. Stir well to ensure the corn starch is fully dissolved. Set aside.

Step 3: Prepping for the Chow Mein

Clean, Wash and Cut Chicken into small pieces.
Clean, peel and cut the Carrots into Julienne's and keep it aside.
Chop Bell Peppers into thin strips and shred the Cabbage.
Finely chop the Onions, Garlic and Green Chillies

Step 4: The High-Heat Stir-frying

Heat oil in a wok or large frying pan until shimmering. Sauté onions, garlic, and chillies on high heat.
Add chicken strips and sear until they turn opaque and slightly golden.
Toss in the carrots and peppers. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and sugar.

Pro Tip: | The sugar helps the vegetables retain their vibrant colour against the dark sauces.

Step 5: The Final Toss

Pour in your prepared Chow Mein sauce. Let it bubble for 30 seconds until it begins to thicken and look glossy.
Add your cooked noodles. Using tongs or two spatulas, toss vigorously on high heat so every strand is coated.
Fold in the shredded cabbage at the very last second—we want it wilted but still crunchy!
Sprinkle with white pepper, garnish with spring onions, and serve immediately.

Pro Tips and Notes

The "Wok Hei" Secret: Don't overcrowd the pan. If you're doubling the recipe, cook in two batches to keep the heat high and avoid "stewing" the meat.
Noodle Swap: Any variety of Noodles can be used for the recipe. If you can't find egg noodles, spaghetti works in a pinch, though the texture will be slightly different.
Vegetable Crunch: Always add your "soft" greens (like cabbage or bok choy) at the very end to maintain texture.

Serving Suggestions

Chicken Chow Mein is best served hot, straight from the wok. It pairs well with simple sides like Kung Pao Chicken, Cauliflower Manchurian, or even a Cantonese Chicken Corn Soup. A drizzle of Chilli Oil or a dash of soy sauce on top can elevate the flavours further.

Storage Suggestions

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Reheat in a pan with a splash of water or stock to loosen the noodles.
