Soy Sauce Chow Mein 豉油皇炒麵

Auntie Emilys Kitchen-Soy Sauce Chow Mein

This is a very basic chow mein recipe. You can add proteins such as beef, pork, chicken, sausages, shrimp, pressed tofu and more.

Try adding some shitake mushrooms or preserved vegetables for some added flavours.

White sesame seeds are also often sprinkled on top (I forgot the sesame seeds when I made the one in the picture, oops!)
