Craving chicken chow mein? This simple recipe delivers takeaway flavour at home.
Few dishes are as comforting as a steaming plate of chicken chow mein. Packed with tender chicken, crisp vegetables and noodles coated in a savoury sauce, it's a meal that feels like a treat without the hefty takeaway bill.
The good news is that chicken chow mein is surprisingly easy to make at home using everyday ingredients available at most South African supermarkets. It also comes together in around 30 minutes, making it an ideal weeknight dinner for busy families.
One of the best things about chow mein is its versatility. You can use whatever vegetables you have in the fridge, making it a great way to reduce food waste while creating a colourful, nutritious meal.
Cook the egg noodles according to the packet instructions.
