Chicken Chow Mein

Chicken chow mein is an easy recipe to make from scratch and taste devine. This is one that my mom made when I was a kid and it still brings back my childhood today.  This recipe is not true Chinese food but our American Chinese Cuisine Invention. 


History of Chow Mein

When it is cooked add mushrooms, stir fry vegetables, bamboo shoots, and bean sprouts. You can add or omit any of the ingredients about or omit if you don't like them. Some options are broccoli, snap peas, peas, carrots and corn.

Cook until the chow mein is tender or cooked. Add beef or chicken broth as needed to cook veggies. Once the chow mein is done add cornstarch a teaspoon at a time until it is thick like gravy. Don't add too much because you want it like gravy consistency.
