To the pan, add 2 tablespoons oil and mushrooms and cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Add carrots and Chinese broccoli. Toss 1 minute. Add ginger and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

TOFU CHOW MEIN
This is an easy recipe for a "tofu beginner," as it teaches people how to use it. If you have time, one way to prepare it is to cut the tofu block in half and wrap well in a terry kitchen towel. Let it sit in the fridge for at least an hour to absorb excess water. For a complete meal, serve with Chinese soup and egg rolls! - Autumn SinClaire, Gold Beach, Oregon

CHOW MEIN (HONG KONG STYLE)
This is my favorite way to eat chow mein. I prefer to always have that crispy layer of noodles at the bottom--but watch out, or else I'll eat all the crispy bits before anyone else gets a chance! You can add other veggies, or different meats, depending on what you prefer. From AlohaWorld.
