Notes
1️⃣ Don’t Overcook the Noodles: Cook the chow mein noodles just until al dente. Overcooking will make them mushy when stir-fried.
2️⃣ High Heat is Key: Stir-fry everything on high heat to ensure the chicken stays tender, the vegetables remain crisp, and the noodles don’t become soggy.
3️⃣ Prep Before Cooking: Have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go before starting. Stir-frying is a quick process, and everything needs to be added at the right time.
