Delicious Chicken Chow Mein | Step by Step How To Make Stir Fried Noodles at Home

Chicken Chow Mein, also known as Stir Fried Noodles with Chicken, can be a quick meal, not to be mistaken with the other Chicken Chow Mein takeout without noodles (see my recipe below). In the end of the video, I also compared Chow Mein and Lo Mein. Mein in Chinese means noodles (Mian). While you may use either noodles for this recipe, it is preferred to use Chow Mein noodles since they are harder and crispier. Enjoy!
