Usually, people prepare chow mein with
spaghetti/noodles but here I made some changes to this recipe and cook in my
style_firstly I didn’t use ketchup as I don’t like using it in chow mein or any other type of Chinese cooking secondly I
cooked chow mein with pasta instead of noodles or spaghetti
This will likely become one of your go-to dinner
recipes because it's very easy to make yet it tastes so good besides a wholesome
recipe
A big bowl of homemade chicken chow mein is way
more satisfying and can be made with ease_tender pieces of chicken breast are
marinated in salt, black pepper, cornflour, and white egg and then deep-fried
until lightly browned_to add some crunch and a colorful combination of chopped
vegetables like carrots, cabbage, spring onion, green or red capsicum are added, an
authentic savory sauce coats each chewy Italian pasta for an irresistible dish
the whole we love

Ingredients that are used in the recipe:
Meat: I used broiler chicken
breast but the best part of the chicken is thigh meat that is also tender and
juicy_i prefer using thigh instead of breast
Veggies: green cabbage, carrot, spring
onion, and capsicum are added to the recipe but you can use any other veggies of
your choice like peas, yellow and red pepper, purple cabbage, and beans
Sauces: red chili sauce, soya
sauce, white vinegar, Worcestershire
sauce along with sesame oil which is the main ingredient of this recipe_adding
sauce of your choice is up to you
I skipped adding ketchup and alternatively, added
chili sauce in my recipe as I understand red chili sauce can enhance the
taste of chow mein rather than ketchup
Ketchup is considered the main ingredient of
the recipe alternatively can be used as chili sauce or garlic sauce as well
Spices: I used black
pepper, salt, cornflour, white pepper, and chicken powder_you can use red chili
flakes too if you are a spice lover
Chowmein
noodles: this recipe can be used in many verities of noodles, spaghetti, egg noodles, Italian
pasta, or macarons as well
I used Italian pasta in the recipe
Tips For Cooking:
I cook the chicken first in hot oil to
create a lightly golden surface. The meat also gets an extra layer of texture
from the small amount of cornstarch added to the marinade. The lean poultry cooks
in just a few minutes and then gets transferred to a plate so it doesn’t
dry out.
