Chow Mein

Chow mein might just be the perfect food: smoky, crispy, and full of flavor with protein, vegetables, and carbs in one delicious dish.I love all carbs but I have to admit that noodles are my ultimate fave. I’m pretty sure that I can eat noodles all day, every day for the rest of my life and be perfectly happy. Especially if the noodle dishes include chow mein.

I grew up eating chow mein: homemade for lunch or dinner; chow mein at parties; at the end of Chinese banquets; or just all the time, every time. It’s smoky, crispy, full of flavor and so, so good. I love that it’s an all-in-one meal: protein, vegetables, and carbs in one delicious dish.
