This simple Chicken Chow Mein recipe came from a class my mother took in the 1970's. She even bought an electric wok (in classic 70's burnt orange) to make this and a few of the other dishes from the class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fear not! You don't need a wok to make this. A large skillet will do just fine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once everything is chopped it only takes about 10 minutes to cook it. You can throw everything into the wok at once, but it comes out so much better if you take the little bit of extra time to cook it as directed to allow everything it's proper amount of cooking time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to find ingredients for Almond Chicken Chow Mein<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike some of the other Chinese recipes on the site, this one has pretty basic ingredients you should easily find at most well stocked grocery stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bok choy<\/strong> or Chinese pea pods<\/strong> and bean sprouts<\/strong> are going to be in the fresh produce aisle, though you can get canned bean sprouts if fresh aren't available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chow mein noodles<\/strong> are in the Asian food section. Get the long noodles that look like angel hair pasta. In fact you can use spaghetti or angel hair as a substitute if needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black mushrooms<\/strong>, bamboo shoots<\/strong> and water chestnuts<\/strong> should all be in the Asian food aisle. The mushrooms will be in a clear plastic container while the others are canned.<\/p>\n\n\n
