A simple Chicken Chow Mein recipe– loved by kids and adults alike! One of the best things about making chow mein at home is that you can modify it to your own tastes. Like it spicy? Throw in some sliced chilies or sriracha. Don’t like chicken? Add in some cooked shrimp at the end. Trying to get extra veg into the kids? Add some peas and broccoli in there too. This meal is so easy and versatile, anything goes!

I also like to skip the chicken sometimes and serve the chow mein as a side dish – along with baked salmon or even a fried egg.

You can make it ahead too, and reheat later in the wok – which makes it a great addition if you’re cooking several dishes (mmmm how about a Chinese banquet!)
