Tips:

Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help prevent food from sticking and will also help to create a smoky flavor.
Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your chow mein. Use fresh vegetables, good quality meat, and a flavorful sauce.
Cook the noodles properly: The noodles should be cooked until they are al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked noodles will become mushy and ruin the texture of the dish.
Don't overcrowd the wok: When cooking the chow mein, don't overcrowd the wok. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly and will also make it difficult to stir-fry the noodles.
Use a variety of vegetables: Chow mein is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add any vegetables you like to the dish, such as broccoli, carrots, celery, or bell peppers.
Make sure the sauce is flavorful: The sauce is what really brings the chow mein together. Make sure it is flavorful and well-seasoned.
