We love it with this spicy broccoli over fresh greens, and for dessert we love these Doubletree cookies!

How to perk up leftover mock chow mein

The casserole itself reheats nicely in the microwave, but I like to sprinkle on a handful of fresh, crunchy chow mein noodles after heating because the original noodles will have softened. I always have a tin in the pantry for this reason and because they’re fun to toss on a salad now and then.

EASY variation of mock chow mein (Great for starving college students)

In saucepan, mix together a can of cream of chicken soup, some leftover chopped chicken (or canned chicken) and about a third of a can of water. Heat on stove until hot. Make a bed of chow mein noodles on serving plates and spoon the sauce over the noodles.
