Chow Mein Recipe
Description
The Chow Mein Recipe starts by preparing a sauce of hoisin and soy sauce with a touch of sesame oil, chicken broth, sugar, and cornstarch to create a glossy coating for the noodles. The vegetables including cabbage, julienned carrot, and bean sprouts are quickly sautéed until just tender but still retaining some crunch. Then cooked noodles are added with the sauce and cooked further to allow the flavors to meld.
The texture is a pleasant mix of soft noodles and crisp vegetables, with garlic and green onion lending aromatic highlights. The sauce balances sweet, savory, and umami flavors to complement the fresh vegetable mix.
This dish is served warm, garnished with green onions and a sprinkle of garlic salt. It makes for an approachable meal with a variety of textures and can be made primarily with pantry staples and fresh produce.
