HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN RAMEN SPICY

You can make this dish as spicy as you like by simply adding in more or less of the “red pepper chili paste”. Chili paste can be found in almost every ethnic isle in your local grocery.

It last a long time and is well worth picking up.

It’s my go to Chicken Ramen /Chow mein dish, very very tasty!

I’m the type of lady that has to try every chow mein dish whenever we go to the chinese restaurants. I do this to compare really, just kidding.

Well kinda, I mean some restaurants do it right and others so wrong. Right? It’s not always easy to find a good chow mein these days. 

But with my recipe it’s foolproof, if you follow it to a tea you will be in Chow Mein Heaven!

So please skip the takeout tonight and learn to make this iconic dish in the comfort of your own home.

Impress yourself, I know you can do it!

The brand I like to use can be seen below, it is very low in sodium!

The chicken and veggies are tossed together in the most delicious asian inspired sauce.

And the chow mein noodles are fried just a bit to give it the perfect amount of cripsyness. 

I use a combination of olive oil and sesame oil to fry my noodles, however you can use regular cooking oil if desired.

That is what most restaurants use anyway, then a dash of sesame oil just for flavor. 

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.

Actually being that this is a Vegetarian dish, it can be pulled together in less than 30 minutes.

I have experimented with a few chow mein recipes over the years and promise you your going to love this one.

Chow Mein is one of my favorite asian dishes, I will order it everytime I go to my favorite asian restaurant and I will also order it when I try new asian restaurants.

Some restaurants make their chow mein better than others, typically it has allot to do with the type of ingredients that are added to the noodles.
