Cooking tips 💡

• If the sour flavor is unfamiliar or overwhelming, you can omit the vinegar from the sauce mix and keep only the sweet and savory base; it will still be delicious.
• There is no fixed rule for the vegetables in chow mein; leftover veggies like cabbage or carrots in your fridge work great for using them up.
• Adding all the starch slurry at once can cause clumping, so keep the heat high and add it little by little to achieve your preferred consistency and avoid failure.
