Answer 3

You're not a cannibal, are you? Chow-Men? (Or, is that how it is supposed to really be spelled?) Just curious.

Anyway: The secret is in the sauce; Use "chow-mein" noodles (obviously) Chopped vegetables of your choosing, i.e. cabbage, green onions, white or yellow onions, etc. You want to make sure that you use "Peanut Oil" to sautee' the noodles, once they are boiled to desired tenderness/softness. Then mix in a combination of "Golden Soy Sauce" "Thin" or "White" Soy Sauce" and "touch" of "Black Soy Sauce".

Taste as you go, and add the sauces slowly as you continue to mix and taste. You can always add more sauce, but you cant take out "TOO MUCH" sauce.

Personalize your chow mein. Add the things you like and leave out the things you don't. There is no set rule, on what you "have" to have as ingredients.
But... the keys to success are the Peanut Oil and the different soy sauces that I mentioned above.
Good luck, and "Bon-Appetite".

Answer 4

ALL THESE INGREDIENTS HAVE TO BE HOT at the same FOR IT TO BE PERFECT!
Thus you have to have a few pots and pans going on your oven or use a microwave for some ingredients if you cant keep track of it all.

1. Take your noodles, then add pepperica

2. quick stem it

3. Add corn, better to blend it

4. add cut boiled eggs

5. Toss in any ingredients you like

then add plum sauce and voila! CHOW MEN!

Answer 5

noodles, fine shred carrot, spring onions and chow mein sauce. Boil noodles, stir fry in wok with veg and then stir through sauce. Easiest and best. Of course if you want chicken or whatever then stir fry first before you add your cooked noodles.
