How I love the Chicken Chow Mein. For $3.69 I get a huge portion. The cover says serves 3, but the entire portion serves me just fine @ 720 kcals total and it’s a very complete dinner… I’m always hungry after the gym. This is very lowfat (6 grams total), but a little high in sugars for those watching carbs (sauce contains hi fructose corn syrup and sugar). I usually top the dish with some sort of hot sauce to give it a slight kick. Since I’m always eating this, I have tried olive oil, corn oil, and ghee to stir fry the chicken and vegetables. A teaspoon of ghee gives the best result I think–it does not impart any flavor into the vegetables…corn oil was the worst, and I think olive oil clashes with the sauce a little bit. Like a lot of other frozen items, this one cooks within 10 minutes. It is very similar to another frozen item called Asian Chicken Stir Fry. The biggest difference is that this item lacks the snow pea pods, and the noodles are different–these are the good “crinkly” kind which absorb the sauce better I think.
