Chicken Chow Mein Recipe
Ingredients
Stir Fry Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 Tablespoon Rice Vinegar
- 2 Teaspoon Chili Sauce
- ½ Teaspoon Sugar
Chow Mein
- 1 packet Lo Mein Noodles
- 2 Tablespoons Oil
- 1 small Carrot diced
- 4.6 ounces boneless Chicken cut into stripes
- 1 Tablespoon Ginger + Garlic *see Notes
- 2 Tablespoon Water
- 3 stalks Green Onions aka Spring Onion
Instructions
- In a bowl add the ingredients for the stir fry sauce; the soy sauce, the vinegar, chili sauce and sugar. Mix all well and keep aside.
- Grab a pot and fill it with water to cook the noodles. Let it boil and then add all the noodles. Get a timer and time it at 2½ minutes (or prepare according to packet instructions). We need to cook the noodles half way or they will get mushy while stir frying.
- Heat up your shallow pan or wok with the oil and stir fry your ginger garlic first, then add the carrot and stir fry for 2 minutes or until the ingredients start to get soft. Then add the Chicken strips and stir fry until barely cooked as well.
- Pour the stir fry sauce over the noodles in the wok. Stir fry and mix the whole content for 3 minutes or until all the ingredients are cooked and well incorporated. The content should not stick to the wok.
- garnish with sliced green onion stalks.
Notes
- Use fresh gigner and garlic finely chopped (raton 1:2) or use ginger and garlic in paste form.
