Recipe fact:
"Chow mein" originally meant a type of noodle, but we have expanded the meaning to refer to a dish of vegetables and meat or poultry in sauce, served over crunchy fried noodles.
Ingredient info:
Bok choy is a leafy vegetable with crisp white stalks and shiny, dark green leaves. Both the leaves and the stems are edible. The stalks have a cabbage-like flavor, and the leaves add bright color and extra nutrients to stir-fries and rice dishes.
Kitchen tip:
to heat chow mein noodles, place them in a paper towel-lined microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 1 to 2 minutes. Or, wrap them tightly in aluminum foil and bake them at 350� for 10 to 15 minutes.
