  • Looking for a protein boost? Toss in shrimp, chicken, or tofu to make your own version of chicken chow fun or shrimp chow fun.
  • Want to know the difference between chow fun vs chow mein? Chow fun uses wide, flat rice noodles while chow mein sticks to wheat-based ones. 
  • To keep this dish 100% gluten-free, double-check that all your sauces (especially soy and oyster) are labeled gluten-free. 
  • If you're wondering, “Is chow fun gluten free?”—traditionally no, but this version is!
