Notes
- Cook on high heat: vegetable chow mein, as well as most stir fry dishes, cooks best on high heat. Make sure oil is hot before adding anything to the skillet.
- Process goes fast: because chow mein is cooked on high heat, it cooks quickly and the process does fast, which also means everything moves really fast once you start cooking.
- Easy reach: prep everything ahead of time and make sure all ingredients can be reached easily when you start cooking.
- Use large enough skillet: use a large skillet so that items can move around freely and cook evenly when stir frying.
