Chow mein taste and method: When it comes to Chowmeen, a picture of India’s street food comes out in the minds of most people, fried vegetables on high flame, fragrance of spices and hot spicy taste. But have you ever thought that the Chaumin we like so much, he has actually come from China? And is the same chowmin in China which is found in India?
What is special in Chinese Chaumin?
In China, the chowmin is cooked very closely and in a traditional way. Things used in its preparation there are also slightly different from India. For example-
Oil and Tadka: Chinese is not added much oil or red chili in the chowmeen. There is freshness and lightness in it. In India, cooking on the pan on the pan is cooked and filled with spices.
When Chaumin came in India, it was adapted to the Indian taste. People here prefer to eat spicy food, so chili, tomato sauce, green chillies and sometimes garam masala started to be added to the chowmin.
Here street vendors prepares the chowmin on high heat quickly, which makes it a crisis and spicy. This is the reason that India’s Choumeen seems to be different from Chinese Chaumin, whether taste or fragrance.
