Detail overview
Simple, comforting, and packed with flavor, Egg Chowmein is a classic stir-fried noodle dish that’s beloved for its fluffy scrambled egg, crisp vegetables, and signature Indo-Chinese seasoning — perfect for a quick, satisfying meal any time of day.
The dish starts with long, springy noodles that are boiled until just tender, then tossed in a hot wok with beaten eggs that are scrambled lightly to stay fluffy and soft. The scrambled egg adds a rich, savory layer that coats the noodles beautifully.
Fresh vegetables — typically shredded cabbage, sliced onions, carrots, bell peppers, and spring onions — add crunch, color, and freshness, balancing the eggs and noodles with each bite.
Garlic, ginger, and green chilies (optional) are stir-fried for extra aroma, while soy sauce, a dash of vinegar, and a touch of chili sauce create that familiar savory, slightly tangy wok flavor that makes chowmein so irresistible. A sprinkle of black pepper or chili flakes can add mild heat for those who love a little kick.
Served steaming hot and garnished with fresh spring onions, Egg Chowmein is tasty on its own or as a perfect pair with momos, fried rice, or a bowl of hot soup — a simple, satisfying comfort dish that never goes out of style.
