Chow mein noodles are typically fried until they are crispy, while lo mein noodles are boiled and then stir-fried with the other ingredients. Both dishes are usually seasoned with a savory sauce made from soy sauce, oyster sauce, and other ingredients.
At a restaurant, a bag of fried noodles may be served as a main dish or as a side dish. They can be garnished with green onions, sesame seeds, or other toppings.
If you want to try making fried noodles at home, you can start by purchasing fresh or dried chow mein or lo mein noodles at an Asian grocery store. You will also need a variety of vegetables, such as bell peppers, carrots, and cabbage, as well as a protein if you choose. For the sauce, you can use a pre-made sauce or make your own by mixing soy sauce, oyster sauce, and other ingredients.
Here is a simple recipe for chicken chow mein that you can try:
1. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
3. Add the chicken and cook until it is cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Add the bell pepper, cabbage, and carrot to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are tender.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and water.
7. Add the cooked chicken and noodles to the skillet. Pour the sauce over the top and stir to combine.
8. Cook until the sauce has thickened and the noodles are coated.
