Chicken Chow Mein image

There are lots of chow mein recipes out there, but this is how I like to make it. It reminds me of fast food chow mein, but it's not nearly as greasy. I call for chicken here, but use whatever protein you like- or none at all!

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 teaspoons soy sauce (I use low sodium)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into very thin slices
12 ounces chow mein noodles (the soft kind found fresh, not the hard crunchy ones)
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 small napa cabbage, sliced into 1 inch strips
2 baby bok choy, sliced into 1 inch strips
5 ounces water chestnuts, sliced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Marinate the chicken: Combine the 2 teaspoons soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Add the sliced chicken, and toss to completely coat. Set aside while you cook the noodles.
  • Cook the chow mein noodles according to package directions, drain well, and set aside.
  • Heat half of the oil (1 tablespoon) in a very large skillet or wok. When is is very hot, but not smoking, add the chicken mixture, and stir fry until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken to a plate, set aside and keep warm.
  • Add the rest of the oil to the skillet, then add the cabbage, bok choy, water chestnuts and garlic; stir fry for a couple of minutes until the vegetables begin to wilt. Add the noodles, and continue to cook until the noodles are hot, and well combined with the vegetables.
  • Add the soy sauce and oyster sauce, toss to combine. Add the chicken, toss to combine.
  • Transfer the chow mein to a serving platter, and top with the chopped green onions. Serve immediately.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the vegetables were overcooked.

The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall this was a good recipe.

I've tried many chow mein recipes, but this one is definitely my favorite. The addition of ginger and garlic really gives it a nice flavor.

This chow mein was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. The sauce was delicious, but not too heavy.
