Questions about Vegetable chow mein
How do you make vegetable chow mein without soggy noodles?
Boil the noodles until just tender, then drain them very well; rinse briefly with cold water if they are sticking. Stir-fry the vegetables over high heat until crisp-tender, add the noodles and sauce, and toss for a minute or two so they heat through without stewing.
Which vegetables work best in vegetable chow mein?
Choose vegetables that stay crisp after a quick stir-fry, such as cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, spring onions and peppers. Cut firmer vegetables into thin strips so they cook in the same time as the softer ones.
What sauce goes in vegetable chow mein?
A simple sauce combines soy sauce, a little sesame oil and a splash of water; add garlic or ginger for extra flavour. Stir it together before cooking, then pour it around the hot pan so it coats the noodles quickly.
Can you use spaghetti instead of chow mein noodles?
Yes. Thin spaghetti makes a useful stand-in: boil it just until tender, drain thoroughly and toss it in the hot pan with the vegetables and sauce. It will be less chewy than many Chinese-style wheat noodles.
What can you serve with vegetable chow mein?
Serve it as a main dish or alongside spring rolls, dumplings or a simple vegetable soup. You can also add tofu, egg, chicken or prawns to make the noodles more substantial.
How should you store leftover vegetable chow mein?
Cool leftovers promptly, put them in a covered container and refrigerate within two hours. Eat within three days, reheating only the portion you need until steaming hot throughout.
How is vegetable chow mein different from vegetable lo mein?
The names are used differently by restaurants, but chow mein is commonly stir-fried so the noodles can become lightly browned, while lo mein is usually softer and more thoroughly coated in sauce. Both can contain wheat noodles and mixed vegetables.
