The magic of this dish is in the incredible contrast of textures. To start, fresh noodles are fried and crisped in a touch of oil. Then they’re topped with saucy, snappy veggies, allowing some noodles to soften while the rest remain crunchy. If you can’t find chow mein or Chinese egg noodles, swap in vermicelli or thin spaghetti, cooked al dente.
