I am a former chef and a devotee of Cantonese Chow mein, the recipe first given was a bit thin, I get mine with squid, chicken, pork, BBQ pork, shrimp and veg like bok choy, celery, some peppers, carrots and garlic, the sauce is pretty basic as the first person said, a sotck, soya sauce, rice wine and cornstarch or tapioca sauce thickened sauce, tapioca starch make a clear sauce like the one for Sweet and sour!.
