If you would your chow mein vegan, use noodles without egg in them, Blue Dragon and Noodl do vegan noodles. For a gluten free chow mein use rice noodlesI popped a small dish of this into the freezer last night to see what it would be like. I’ve just defrosted it, heated it, and tried it. Success, those delicate little bean sprouts survived!Got a great recipe? How about submitting it to appear on Thrifty Lesley!
