How to Make Healthy Chicken Chow Mein – Lo Mein Recipe:

The steps are super easy and done in 15 minutes: I have been cooking this particular version of the healthy chow mein since ages and it impresses one and all. It’s so simple to make and the only thing I do differently is to add extra veggies. The ones you usually eat in Chinese dishes like carrot, scallion, onions, peppers, beans, chili and my secret ingredient for that spiciness – “Schezwan/Sichuan Sauce”. Before, you ask, I make my own schezwan sauce which I’ve learned from my mom and here’s the recipe. It’s this sauce, that gives this chow mein such a zing that it’s almost impossible to eat it just once, cause you’ll be craving it again and again. This particular recipe is so famous in the Northern part of India, that you would find it in the biggest of the restaurant to the most common street shop. And, I guess, if you’ve grown up studying in India, then it’s a staple of every student (school/college). During my college days, it used to be a weekly treat with friends. We used to hang out at this local restaurant where even the owner would start sending chow mien to our table without asking – Yep, we loved it that much! It was way too oily, way too spicy but gone are those days and I just cannot handle that much oil/spice anymore. So, I created something that we could eat easily without thinking twice and hence the Healthy Chicken Chow Mein – Lo Mein Recipe.

Although I’m using glutenfree/low-calorie noodles, but you may also use regular chow mein noodles / Hakka noodles, you can use wheat noodles too. I usually use the same pot to cook the vegetables, chicken, and eggs and then finally sauteeing everything along with noodles to add that extra flavor to the final dish. I also use less salt as the soy-sauce already has salt in it, so you may want to do the same. Now, many people have complimented me on the noodles not sticking together or becoming clumpy – So here’s a TIP

Tips on How to AVOID Clumpy Noodles:: (stands true for any noodle recipe)

While boiling noodles add 1 tsp oil. Once the noodles are boiled, sieve and drizzle another tsp of oil on them. Place the noodle over ice and they’ll never stick together
