Tostadas de Chow Mein Recipe
Tostadas de Chow Mein is a popular Guatemalan recipe, featuring chow mein noodles and veggies served on top of a tostada.
The chow mein tostada has become a Guatemalan favorite since Chinese immigrants brought Chow Mein to the country in the late 1800s. It has evolved over time to the version served on a tostada, but still relies on sauces like Lee Kum Kee Dark Soy Sauce Premium and Sesame Oil Blended with Soybean Oil to add those Chinese flavors that are quintessential to chow mein.
