Chow Mein
Chow mein is a popular Chinese dish that is made with wheat noodles, vegetables, and a flavorful sauce.
To make this dish, you will need to boil the noodles, cool them, and then stir-fry them with lots of vegetables. Cabbage, carrots, and bell peppers are some of the best veggies to pair with chow mein. They add a great crunch and a variety of colors to the dish.
The sauce for this chow mein recipe is a combination of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and (lots of) garlic. This creates a delicious and unique flavor that is both mildly acidic and garlicky. It is a great balance that will make your taste buds dance.
