Notes
Fresh ramen noodles can be substituted for dried chow mein noodles for a different texture
Feel free to add other vegetables like broccoli, snow peas, or bok choy based on preference
For extra protein, add tofu, chicken, or shrimp during step 3
The dish can be made ahead and reheated, though noodles may soften slightly
Substitute tamari for soy sauce to make this recipe gluten-free (use rice noodles too)
Sesame oil adds more authentic flavor than regular vegetable oil
Double the sauce ingredients if you prefer a more saucy chow mein
