Vietnamese Egg Noodles (Mi xao mem)
Mì xao mem, as opposed to mi xao don (crispy egg noodles) is the Vietnamese version of Chinese chow mein. This dish appears in almost every Vietnamese fast food joint.
It usually comes with chicken and seafood such as baby squid and shrimp, but I wanted to make sure the entire family would enjoy the dish as well (half of my family is vegetarian). So this time, I mixed the soft egg noodles with rolled tofu skin and several vegetables.
Living in the Bay Area, we’re lucky enough that Asian markets carry a wide variety of fresh egg noodles. I always look for the thin kinds. If you can’t find any, you could always boil angel hair pasta. The flavor will be slightly different but still delicious
