CHICKEN CHOW MEIN

  • by

TAKEAWAY VERSION
You need 2 woks for this. One for the noodles and one for everything else:
Noodle wok:
Soak some dry egg noodles in hot water until it’s soft.
Heat wok with a couple of tablespoons of oil until it’s very hot (the oil will move around the wok very easily).
Throw in a handful of beansprouts and let sit for about 30 seconds.
Throw in the softened noodles and fry for a further minute or 2. (If you want the noodles crispy then put the noodles in
first and in a lot of oil)
Add soy sauce to taste
Everything else wok:
Slice up Cabbage, Carrot,Peas,Water chestnut and green pepper and pop into the other hot wok.
After the cabbage has softened up add some sliced chicken thigh fillet or thawed frozen chicken (with added water if you
want it super tender like some takeaways serve it)
Add oyster sauce to taste.
Add the contents of the woks together and mix together.
