This week I decided to make a fusion recipe since I have been missing the street style food a lot that were available to us by the roadside. This is a spicy and savory dish. Chow mein For me, comfort and flavor as all the colors that wash over the eyes and that food in general implies. It is a dish that is derived from Chinese but some modifications were made by the Indians. This is a dish where noodles are stir fried till they are golden brown and somewhat crunchy, reeled in a colorful mix of vegetables, soft meat, chicken or tofu and a hint of gravy. The sauce and noodle are perfectly balanced  in the flavors of this golden brown dish, which is made from the soya, sesame, and hints of spices. It is important here to note that chow mein is versatile: for each mouthful of chow mein is texturally diverse – the crunch of fresh vegetables complemented by the tender noodles. It’s a food that reminds people what friendship is, a food that makes people feel good, especially when grabbed from the cart or cooked by our mothers at home. I made this dish with a mixture of my mom’s recipe and my favorite youtube channel’s recipe which is Spice eats.
