Tips On How To Cook Chicken Chow Mein
Tenderize the chicken by “velveting” the chicken with corn starch. This will ensure Chinese-restaurant tender and silky chicken. You will need a deep skillet or Chinese wok (preferred) for the best results. Heat up the utensil on high heat. Add cooking oil, then stir fry by tossing and flipping the chicken, vegetables and egg noodles back and forth with a spatula. If you have a pair of Chinese long wooden chopsticks, use them instead of a spatula. The chopsticks will ensure that the noodles are not broken up during the cooking process.
