WELL I made chow mein noodles for the first time in about 7 years, I didn't need a cookbook, surprisingly I remembered how to make them MAYBE BECAUSE THEY TASTED SO GOOD.

But I made a recipe for once and I'll share it.

This is pretty much chicken chow mein, with chopped Onions and string beans, It's fairly simple to make and doesn't require many ingredients.


INGREDIENTS.
________________
-2 10oz packages of chow mein noodles.
-Generous handful of String Beans. (remember to steam or boil them before you stick them in the skillet)
-Diced Onions (use a quarter to a half of an onion)
-Chicken Brest, Fillets (though you can use thighs or whatever you like)
____________________________________________________________
And for the sauce.
-Rice wine vinegar
-Oyster sauce
-Low sodium Soy sauce

(Ratio I use for the sauce) 40% soy sauce
35% Oyster sauce
35% Rice wine Vinegar
=100% YEAH THIS TASTES ABOUT RIGHT

I made about a half a cup of the sauce for the 20oz. of noodles

So you would use 4 1/2 ounces of Rice Vinegar, 4 1/2 ounces of Oyster sauce, and then 6 1/2 ounces of Soy sauce.

HOPE THAT MAKES SENSE, also I'm terrible at math.

the ingredients aside, I boiled then chopped up my chicken Brest fillets into cubes (Of course you can chop them to any size you like and use however much chicken you like)

After that I put the chopped up chicken aside and used the same pot I boiled them in to boil my String Beans, There is no say on when string beans are done, just cook them until you like the texture of them. Some people like them softer, and others like them crunchier.

After the string beans we're cooked to my liking I put them aside with the chicken.

Now I began chopping up my onion (I used a quarter onion)
once I diced it up nice and small I began working wit the skillet.

FIRST REMEMBER, oil up your pan or skillet, if you don't then your food is going to stick and burn.

I used Canola oil and put a fair amount about a quarter cup.

Now before you put the noodles in or the chicken or the string beans, put in the diced onions and cook them off at medium heat until they're slightly brown (I heart grilled onions)

ALRIGHTY, now that the onions are finished you can start putting everything else in. Again at medium heat I put in the boiled chicken cubes to sear them and get them slightly crispy and lightly brown.

Next put in the 20oz. of chow mein noodles, and if your noodles seem to be sticking to much you can always, of course, use some more oil.

Begin spreading and mixing the noodles around with your chicken and onions, just remember to continue mixing and moving often as you add you ingredients to prevent the noodles from sticking and burning.

If you like you can use a lower heat since all the ingredients are cooked already there's no need to worry about under cooked food.

Now that you have the noodles in the pan you can add the sting beans, AND NOW ADD YOUR SAUCE (again I used a half cup)

When pouring your sauce don't pour it all in one spot, try and get it all over the pan or skillet I JUST MAKES MIXING EASIER,

Once you've done that and you have everything in the pan or skillet it just depends on how crispy and brown you want your noodles to be.

You can continue cooking them or turn of the burner and EAT EM UP.

Personally I made mine a bit crispy.

*claps* And yer done, now I hope this was somewhat helpful, and I didn't forget anything.

Hopefully it gave you some idea of making a basic CHICKEN CHOW MEIN DINNER.
