Rib Tip Chowmein
Rib Tip Chowmein is one of those dishes that are a combination of my favorite things. Growing up in NYC, Chinese food was a big part of our lifestyle. As teenagers, it was a popular choice for when we wanted a quick meal because it was pretty inexpensive and tasty. My favorite order was roast pork fried rice with half fried chicken or with rib tips! Now I no longer live in NYC so I make my own rib tips at home. One day I got the brilliant idea to make a rib tip chowmein and was completely blown away – it was one of the tastiest versions of chowmein that I’ve ever had.
I’ve made these quite a bit and even shared it a few times on Instagram and I’ve always gotten requests for the recipe, so I decided it’s time to share it! Its super easy, as most of my recipes tend to be, and it is so good! I’ve also included a video for this recipe so be sure to subscribe to my YouTube Channel and give this video a thumbs up. If you make this rib tip chowmein be sure to share a photo and tag me on Instagram.
