What is Indian Style Egg Chow Mein?
It’s a popular dish that combines the flavors of Indian and Chinese cuisine amazingly. Made using Chinese sauces along with Indian spices, mixed veggies, and egg. Can be easily customized to suit individual tastes. You can add more vegetables, adjust the spice level, or even add some protein such as chicken or shrimp to make it a more substantial dish. It’s one of my MOST Favorite Goto recipes, especially on a crazy busy day or even a lazy one 😉 Also, I ALWAYS make it using spaghetti as it’s an extremely common kitchen pantry ingredient.
Ingredients for Egg Chow Mein:
One of the MOST important things for me to make this recipe is that all the ingredients are easily available in your kitchen: Eggs Spaghetti Noodles: you can use egg noodles too Mixed Vegetables: like carrots, beans, cabbage, onion, green bell pepper (capsicum) Sauces: soy sauce, hot-spicy sauce, ketchup (if you like a hint of sweetness). Spices: turmeric, salt, chili pepper, black pepper Oil: for stir fry and making eggs Topping: Sesame seeds, fresh cilantro, and green onions (all is optional)
How to Make The Recipe:
I’m dividing the recipe into 2 parts: Cooking the Eggs: I make a simple omelet seasoned with spices and sauce. Cooking Veggies: then quickly stir fry the veggies in sauce and spices. Then toss in the cooked chow mein / spaghetti + omelet and stir fry everything together. The detailed recipe is given below.
So, go ahead and try this delicious and quick recipe asap and save some for the next meal/day too as they taste good the next day too. This dish is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or lunch. You can also add your own twist to it by adding other vegetables or meat of your choice or adjusting the spice level to suit your taste.

Chili Sauce + Ketchup: you can use either or both (as I’m using) Soy Sauce: if need be, you can replace it with tamari. White Vinegar: you can use rice vinegar or lightly flavored vinegar too. Turmeric: is optional, for color and slight Indian taste. Ginger + Garlic paste: you can use dry powder instead.
