Omit the chicken and add paneer, tofu, or mushrooms. Sauté them after the aromatics until golden brown. Ensure your noodles are egg-free for a vegan version.
Substitute chicken with 300g of peeled and deveined prawns. Marinate them similarly and stir-fry for just 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and curl up.
Add 1-2 tablespoons of Schezwan sauce along with the other sauces for a fiery and pungent flavor.
Feel free to add other quick-cooking vegetables like bean sprouts, sliced mushrooms, baby corn, or snow peas.

Chicken Chowmein can be a balanced meal as it contains protein from chicken, carbohydrates from noodles, and vitamins from vegetables. However, it can be high in sodium and fat due to sauces and oil. To make it healthier, use whole wheat noodles, load up on vegetables, use low-sodium soy sauce, and reduce the amount of oil.

In the context of Indo-Chinese cuisine, the terms are often used interchangeably. 'Hakka Noodles' refers to the type of noodle, while 'Chowmein' is the name of the stir-fried dish made with those noodles. Essentially, you make Chowmein using Hakka noodles.
The key is to undercook the noodles slightly (al dente), as they will cook further in the wok. Immediately rinsing them under cold water stops the cooking process and removes excess starch, which also helps prevent mushiness.
