Veg Chowmein

Veg Chowmein Recipe: Boiled, smooth, velvety noodles tossed with crispy vegetables; that’s how I love my veg chowmein, full of colorful veggies, and I’m sure you do too. Whenever my tummy wants Chinese food, veg chowmein is the first thing that comes to my mind.

During my college days, I loved having chowmein. Whenever my best friend and I went out for lunch, we would always order chowmein. Since those days, I have wanted to make chowmein at home. I tried so many times but couldn’t get it perfect. Then, about two years ago, I finally figured out how to make it just right, and since then, I have been making this Veg Chowmein Recipe at home.

This is not a microwave veg chowmein recipe. After learning how to make perfect chowmein, I always cook it on a gas stove in a pan. I love making my chowmein this way, so there is no microwave method in this recipe.

I use ajinomoto (MSG) in this recipe, but you can skip it if you prefer not to use it. It is commonly used to enhance the savory taste of chowmein. Even without it, your veg chowmein will still be delicious.
