Additional tips for Indian chicken chow mein recipe:
Don’t overcook the noodles. because if the noodle is overcooked it becomes sticky and the spices do not mix well. So, you have to boil the noodles carefully.
When you fry the chicken you have to increase the heat of the stove. If you cook on low heat, all the juices inside the chicken will come out and the chicken becomes dry, which is not good to eat.
To prevent the noodles from sticking, the noodles should be washed with cold water immediately after boiling and pour a few drops of oil on the boiled noodles and mix it well to avoid them sticking to each other.
Many types of sauce and lemon juice have been used in this cooking, so sugar has been used to balance the spice and helps to increase the chow Mein taste.
If you do not have lemons, you can use vinegar. Vinegar works like a lemon. But you have to use one of these two. It makes Chow Mein taste better.
In this recipe, I used chicken and vegetables but you can add mushrooms and shrimp if you want. So that its taste will be more and its nutrition will increase.
If you are a vegetable, you have to exclude fish sauce and chicken from this dish and you can use soybeans in this place or you can cook it using just a variety of vegetables of your choice.
