AUTHENTIC CHINESE PORK CHOW MEIN
No need to order in chow mein when you can make it yourself, this is just as good if not even better than any Chinese restaurant or take-out -- if you prefer more flavor then add in more soy sauce --- if desired after the pork is finished browning you may add in fresh minced garlic and stir for 2 minutes, this is only optional --- you will love this!

PORK CHOW MEIN IN CHAR SIU SAUCE
This is from Periplus : Chinese And Asian Step-by-Step. This is a kid pleaser. I have made this several times and it is now a firm family favourite. I have varied the vegetables in the chow mein depending on what I could get. I love adding dried shiitake mushrooms which I pre-soak in hot water before shredding. Sometimes, I don't deep-fry the noodles (for the sake of my weight conscious DH) - both ways the sauce works out fine.

PORK CHOW MEIN
I give all the credit for my love of cooking and baking to my mother, grandmother and mother-in-law. That trio inspired delicious dishes like this hearty skillet dinner. When we get a taste for stir-fry, this dish really hits the spot. -Helen Carpenter, Albuquerque, New Mexico

PORK CHOW MEIN
This was a favorite with the grand kids. I sometimes use chicken breast in place of the pork. Serve over rice and crunchy noodles.

CANTONESE PORK CHOW MEIN
This is a versatile recipe. You can do this good Oriental casserole with roasted pork leftovers, or use this recipe to make Mexican pork fajitas, omitting the chow mein vegetables and served in flour tortillas instead of serving with noodles. It is delicious in any way you cook them. Enjoy.
