If I’m ordering takeout or eating in, I almost always make sure to get both Fried Rice and a Chowmein. One of my sons prefers rice and the other noodles, although I can never remember which is which ? Chowmein noodles are widely available. The most common kind are found dry in a 454 approx gm bag. I prefer to use the fresh semi cooked steamed noodles. These come sealed in bags in the fridge section of your local Oriental store. If you can’t find these, just ½ cook the dry noodles, drain and dry them well before using.

The protein and vegetables you use is totally upto you. I used Shrimp, Chicken, Cauliflower, Mushrooms, Green Pepper & Tofu in this recipe but you can use Broccoli, Carrots, Bok Choy, Celery … the world is your oyster!
