Chow Mein with shrimps and spinach
Hello!
Today we have noodles again. This time it is the famous Chinese "Chow Mein" — fried noodles, which can be found in almost any restaurant of the Pan-Asian type around the world.
There are a great many options for cooking this dish, so it is pointless to argue which recipe is original. If even the base (noodles) can be of absolutely different origin, what about the accompanying ingredients?
Today we will cook a Chow Mein of wheat noodles with shrimps and spinach.
