Notes
- Tip: You can add Ginger and Garlic too after the onions bulbs. I forgot to show that in the video. Ginger and garlic add a lot of flavor to the dish. Use about 1 tbs ginger and garlic chopped fine or as paste (ratio 1:2).
- If you can't get rice vinegar, substitute with regular white vinegar
- Use Sriracha style chili sauce or ketchup if you don't want it spicy. I also like to use ketchup with a few drops of tabasco sauce.
- Lo mein noodles are also sold as chinese egg noodles or simply chow mein noodles.
- Use regular green cabbage or chinese cabbage (napa cabbage)
- See post for flavor variations. I share a list of inrgedients that you can add to call this chicken chow mein recipe your own.
