What is Chowmein?

Noodles stir-fried with vegetables and sauces, chow mein is a very popular Chinese dish. However, because of its popularity, it has reached many parts of the world and each country has its take on it. Here I am sharing the Indian chowmein recipe, which is very popular street food. Noodles, combined with colorful and crunchy vegetables, flavored with spicy, tangy and sweet sauces, is Indian vegetable chowmein.

Let’s talk about the ingredients for Veg Chowmein Recipe

Noodles… you can use any noodles of your choice. What is important is to cook them properly. They should be cooked until Al Dente, as we cook pasta. The correct way and timing are mentioned on the pack of the noodles used. Vegetables… you can use veggies of your choice; again what is important is to cook them properly, they should not lose the crunch!! Chinese food uses lots of sauces. I have added sauces as per my taste; you can adjust the same as per your choice. One more thing critical about Chinese food especially chowmein is that the flame remains high. Yes, most of the ingredients are added and cooked on high flame.

Hi! I am CA Vini Mehta. A Chartered Accountant by profession, a food blogger by passion! First of all, I would like to thank you for stopping by at Viniscookbook, I hope you have a good time. Here, yo...u will find the recipes which have been tried, at times re-tried in my kitchen and relished on the dining table. I am mother of two kids and the wife of a person with a high and selective taste sense, so basically anything, before finding its place on the blog, has many levels to cross and clear. This journey started a couple of years back. Before that I was making the most usual kind of food. The only experiment used to be asking my mother how to make something new or different☺. Then, one day, I tried a recipe for butter cookies. And they did not get to go in the container as they were over before I could store them. That day I was introduced to the joy of experimenting with recipes. And I loved everything else that followed especially garnishing and photographing food. I am still not well versed with the photography dos and don’ts but I love to experiment and learn, be it photography or cooking. Hope you too enjoy this journey as much as I do☺! Stay healthy, stay tuned!.
