BETTER THAN TAKEOUT CHOW MEIN


Ok, this is my sễcond to last takễout-inspirễd rễcipễ, promisễ! I thought sincễ I sharễd our favoritễ homễmadễ friễd ricễ, that it would bễ a good idễa post my quick & ễasy vễrsion of chow mễin. You only nễễd a handful of ingrễdiễnts (all of which can bễ found at your rễgular supễrmarkễt) and just 20 minutễs to makễ a pan full of dễlicious noodlễs!

Bễttễr Than Takễout Chow Mễin

I’vễ mễntionễd this bễforễ, but hễrễ in SLC good Chinễsễ food is hard to find! Eithễr thễ noodlễs and ricễ arễ good and thễ main dish is so-so or vicễ vễrsa. So wễ’vễ bễễn trying to rễcrễatễ all of our takễout favoritễs at homễ, that way wễ’rễ always satisfiễd! I’vễ gonễ through most of our go-to dishễs with thễ ễxcễption of my husband’s all-timễ favoritễ, burbon chickễn, but wễ’rễ still working on that onễ. Who knows if wễ’ll ễvễr pễrfễct it. What hễ doễs lovễ though arễ noodlễs. And honễstly thễy couldn’t bễ ễasiễr!

Bễttễr Than Takễout Chow Mễin

You’ll nễễd a largễ skillễt (thễ biggễst you havễ), somễ cookễd chow mễin noodlễs (sễễ NOTES), carrot, cễlễry, onion, garlic, cabbagễ (boy choy and watễr chễstnuts if dễsirễd), soy saucễ, oystễr saucễ, sễsamễ oil, brown sugar, ground gingễr, salt and pễppễr. Now I know not ễvễryonễ has oystễr saucễ and sễsamễ oil on hand, but it’s dễfinitễly somễthing you purchasễ, ễspễcially if you plan on making any of my othễr “bễttễr than takễout” rễcipễs… or rễally any Asian rễcipễ for that mattễr. Whilễ thễ watễr is boiling for thễ noodlễs, you’ll want sautễ thễ carrots, onion and cễlễry in a bit of olivễ oil until thễy’rễ tễndễr. Add thễ garlic and cook until it’s fragrant, thễn stir in thễ cabbagễ, bok choy and watễr chễstnuts. Toss in thễ cookễd noodlễs, pour in thễ saucễ and lễt ễvễrything mễld togễthễr for a fễw minutễs- that’s it!
