Chow Mein

I went to Young’s Noodle Factory this week to get some locally made fresh Asian noodles.  I didn’t know what anything on the menu was except “chow mein  $1.19/lb”. That seemed like a great price to me so I bought 2 lbs. I have never made chow mein before and never really enjoyed it in restaurants either. So this was a new endeavor. I chopped: green onions, celery, carrots, red onion, bean sprouts, garlic, and red bell peppers. It was very colorful. I think chow mein is generally too bland, so I made a sauce of chicken broth, stir fry sauce, and soy sauce with a little cornstarch to thicken and threw that on. It made everything moist and more flavorful. Then I threw in some shrimp to make it special, and the chow mein noodles! Very yummy dinner.
