I love Chow Mein too! This link has a recipe that works well but its makes quiet a lot, you can either freeze some or cut it down! I just change the oil for fry light , use chicken bovril for the chicken stock/broth and skip the sesame seeds (I don't like them and my local Chinese takeaway doesn't use them!) The only sins are the oyster sauce (0.5 per tbsp) and the corn starch (1 per tsp)! Hope you enjoy!
