Notes
- Duck - Use boneless skin on duck breast or thigh for moist and tender results.
- Egg Noodles - You can use fresh or dry egg noodles, straight to wok noodles, rice noodles, or udon noodles for this recipe. If you use dried noodles, boil the noodles per packet instructions, then rinse in cold water and drizzle a bit of sesame oil or vegetable oil and toss the noodles. It will prevent the noodles from sticking to each other when you make stir fry.
- Vegetables - Onion, bean sprouts, and spring onions are ideal for chow mein, but you can customize with your favourite vegetables.
- Chow Mein Sauce - Make this simple sauce mixture at home, instead of using the ready-made store-bought chow mein sauce. You can make extra sauce, place it in a jar and keep it in the fridge for later use for stir fry dishes. You will find it so much better and tastier.
- Sides and dippings - Drizzle a bit of crispy chilli oil if you like to bring some heat to the dish.
