Top tips for making Chinese vegetable chow mein
This is a great dish for using up leftover meat like leftover chicken or leftover beef strips. All you have to do is add them at the end of stir-frying and make sure the meat is piping hot before serving again.
This chow mein is best made and eaten on the same day for the freshest flavour but leftovers can be kept in the fridge in an airtight container for up to one day.
