Notes: 

• Do not overcook the noodles, take them out before they are completely cooked to avoid the mushy Chow Mein.
• Applying oil will help to prevent the noodle to stick with each other.
• While stir frying the vegetables and noodles keep the flame high.
• Keep all the vegetables, sauces, and noodles ready before you start the stir-frying as there is no time left while cooking on high heat.
• Using tomato sauce is optional,if you are not using it add little bit of sugar to balance all the flavours.
• If you are using an iron wok make sure to heat it really well before you start cooking, then you can reduce the heat little bit. It will prevent the noodles from sticking with the wok .
