Making Guyanese Style Chicken Chow Mein (My Way)

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium soy sauce reduces sodium intake while maintaining flavor.

egg noodles

🥗Healthier: whole wheat noodles

💰Cheaper: spaghetti

Whole wheat noodles add fiber, while spaghetti is often less expensive.

Boil a pot of water and add a little salt for flavor.

Add chow mein to the boiling water and cook for about 15 minutes until slightly soft, but not too soft.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet until hot.

Add seasoned chicken to the skillet and allow it to cook, stirring occasionally.

Once the chicken is cooked and the water has evaporated, add Chinese sauce to the chicken.

Add garlic and ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for a bit.

Pour in boiling water to create a sauce, ensuring it remains saucy and not dry.

Season with salt and add two cubes for flavor.

Add black pepper and chow mein seasoning to taste.

Cover the skillet and let it reduce for a while.

After reducing, add carrots, corn, and red and green bell peppers to the chicken mixture.

Add a little Chinese spice and butter, then let it sit for 10 more minutes.

After 10 minutes, mix in the cooked chow mein with the chicken and vegetables.
