Vegetable chowmein
Also called: veg chowmein, vegetable chowmein, veg chow mein, veggie chowmein, veg chowmin, sabzi chowmein, vegetable chow mein, veg choumien
Vegetable chowmein is that classic street-style snack or quick dinner we all love — noodles tossed with crunchy sabzi, garlic, a little chilli and soy sauce. It’s the kind of thing you get from a chai tapri, hostel canteen, or make at home when you want something spicy, saucy, and filling without much fuss.

What Goes Into It
Per serving (1 plate)
gastroenterology Gut Health Insight
This plate brings some decent gut-friendly bits from cabbage, capsicum, carrots, beans, spring onion, and sprouted moong — so you get around 5.7 g fiber per serving, which helps keep things moving nicely. The vinegar and garlic can also make the dish feel lighter on the stomach, while the chilli and pepper may stimulate digestion in some people. One thing to watch is the sodium: with soy sauce, chilli sauce, and added salt, it comes to about 258.5 mg sodium per 100 g, so if you’re having it at a stall, ask for less sauce and extra vegetables to make it easier on your gut.
