Chicken Tofu Vegetable Chow Mein

Chicken Tofu Vegetable Chow Mein. Crispy chow mein smothered in a glossy sauce packed with protein and vegetables. Perfect for dinner and comes together in 30 minutes!

Chicken Tofu Vegetable Chow Mein

Chow mein is one of my favourite dishes to order on a Chinese menu! I love that crispy noodles covered in that savoury sauce accompanied by all those delicious fresh veggies and proteins.

This tofu chicken vegetable chow mein recipe is easy to make and you actually don't need a wok to make this! You just need a non-stick pan, some high heat and a large plate! I'm being serious with the last one because there's a lot of noodles in this recipe!

Chicken Tofu Vegetable Chow Mein

My chow mein noodle recipe is slightly healthier because they are not deep fried like how they do it in the restaurants. This one is shallow fried in oil and yes it is more than just a couple tablespoons but if you want those crispy noodles then shallow frying is key to this chow mein recipe.

I love it so much I have a few more Chow Mein recipes to share below if you're interested. So now you can have chow mein at home and you don't have to head out to the restaurant to get it.

For this recipe

You will need the following ingredients for my tofu chicken and vegetable chow mein:

  • 2 cups fried tofu balls, sliced in half
  • 1 pack cantonese style chow mein noodles
  • 2 skinless boneless chicken thighs, sliced thinly
  • 1 cup carrot, sliced into matchstick
  • 2 cups gai lan, chopped
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • ⅓ cup avocado oil

Chicken Marinade:
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp cornstarch
½ tsp sugar

Chow Mein Sauce:
6 tbsp oyster sauce
2 cups water
2 tbsp cornstarch

How to make chicken vegetable chow mein

  1. Marinate your sliced chicken.
  2. Mix together your ingredients for your noodle sauce. Note: There may be extra sauce but I decided to provide a recipe for more sauce than less. If you prefer less saucy noodles, only use 1.5 cups water, 4 tbsp oyster sauce, 2 tbsp cornstarch.
  3. In a hot non-stick pan over high heat, add your avocado oil. Then add your fresh Cantonese chow mein noodles. Fry on each side until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Make sure you check your noodles every now and then to prevent burning.
  4. Once the noodles are crispy, transfer to a large serving plate.
  5. In the same pan over high heat, add 1 tsp of avocado oil and fry your chicken. Fry until ¾ of the way cooked.
  6. Add in your fried tofu balls. Cook for 1 minute.
  7. Then add in all your vegetables. Fry until veggies are softened.
  8. Lower heat and stir in your noodle sauce quickly. Do not let this set or it'll solidify.
  9. Then pour noodle sauce over your noodles and enjoy!
