The Choi sum and mixed vegetable salad with pineapple dressing would also go well with this dish.

This is a classic takeaway dish and a classic Chinese snack – Chow mein in Mandarin Chinese is pronounced ‘chao meean’ and it means ‘stir-noodle’, or stir-fried noodle.

I like this simple dish with plenty of fresh crunchy vegetables and light soy sauce and toasted sesame oil – but the key to a good chow mein is in the quality of the noodles. I use shi wheat flour noodles – ‘shi’ means ‘thin’ – and whether yellow shi or white, they are easy to cook, just 3 minutes in boiling water. Then all the ingredients go into a wok – couldn’t be easier or healthier!
