Chow Mein

Stir-fried noodles are known as Chow Mein in Cantonese. It's one of the greatest Chinese recipes, including noodles, onion, sliced beef, green pepper, and green onion as the main ingredients. To begin, boil the noodles until they are 90 percent done. After the noodles have cooled, stir-fry them with the remaining ingredients until golden yellow. Chow Mein is most Chinese people's first pick for late-night supper since it is simple to prepare.
