We can have this dish in any fancy restaurant with some fancy name, but I hope you will agree with me that the taste we get from that popular street vendor who sells will have a different taste with that desi touch and adding those Indian masalas.
If it is vegetarian or non-vegetarian noodles, Chowmein is always been my favorite childhood food.
When I look back to my childhood memories and remember that famous street vendor where
I see a cart on the roadside making and selling chowmein.
It was really a mouthwatering moment for those who pass by the cart no matter what age it is.
Chow Mein is a Chinese stir-fried noodle dish with vegetables and sometimes with meat or tofu and the name is a romanization of the Taishanese chāu-mèn.
It is commonly found in most Chinese restaurants and takeout places.
Generally, this dish is very easy to make but time-consuming also because of the amount of chopping vegetables needed but once everything has been prepared, tossing all the ingredients into a single pan is easy.
So come let’s cook together and cherish those childhood memories.
I made this recipe in a simple way and it is my version.
