Best Chinese Recipes are Easy to Make.
Sometimes that craving for really good Chinese food hits you at the most inopportune moments. But that’s okay because you can now make your own right at home whenever you like, and if you have a wok, that makes it even easier.
These noodles are absolute perfection. They are simple to make, savory, and addictive. To make it a meal, simply add shrimp, chicken, or tofu.
We threw in some chicken and Chinese vegetables to add some extra yum to this dish, but you can mix in whatever you want. That’s the best thing about this recipe for chow mein noodles…you can go crazy with whatever you’d like to add in.
