I used to spend a lot of money on takeout, now I just make it at home. Pretty much every other day, depending on how I’m feeling. Asian cuisine has to be one of my favorites, however I do love Indian and other cuisines nearly as much.

HOW TO MAKE BEEF CHOW MEIN
- Start by boiling the Chow Mein noodles, then strain and set aside. The brand I like to use can be seen below, it is very low in sodium and healthy! You can always use fresh as well!
- Next, fry the Chow Mein noodles in a little bit of vegetable oil.
- In a separate pan, fry vegetables till soft in beef stock.
- Pour in the sauce and add some sesame seed oil and sauté for a few minutes till everything is combined and hot.
- Serve and enjoy!
The hardest part about making homemade Chow Mein is “chopping those vegetables”.
Once you have that part done, the rest comes together in a snap.
