AVOID NOODLES GETTING DRIED OUT

The noodles tend to get dry overtime.
To reheat the noodles for the next day, add 1/4 cup of water to a wok and add the chicken chow mein at high flame and sautee for 3 to 4 minutes.

ANOTHER TIP

If you would like your chow mein crispy, add 4 tbsp extra oil and stir fry for additional 3 to 4 minutes.
