You can make this recipe with chicken also, but in that case use chicken stock instead of vegetable stock. If you don't get fresh stock use stock cubes. But fresh ingredients make the dish better. Oyster sauce is the main sauce used to make Chow Mein, but I like to add a little soy sauce too. You can skip adding it if you want. You can also use any other vegetables of your choice. Broccoli & bell peppers would make the dish colourful. Make sure you don't cook the noodles or the vegetables too much in the initial stage, then everything will be overcooked in the end. Be careful while adding salt, the sauces are salty. This might not be the traditional Chow Mein Recipe. I don't believe oregano is used 😉 So if you don't want to then skip it.
