Chow Mein

Prep: 10 min Cook: 5 min 2 servings

Instructions

1Mix together cornflour and soy sauce, then mix in remaining ingredients.
2Alternative: Use 1/3 cup Chinese All Purpose Stir Fry Sauce, if you have some in stock.
3Marinate Chicken: Pour 1 tbsp of Sauce over the chicken, mix to coat, set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
4Noodles: Prepare the noodles according to the packet instructions (my pack says soak in boiled water for 1 minute), then drain.
5Heat oil in wok or large fry pan over high heat.
6Add garlic and stir fry for 10 seconds or until it starts to turn golden - don't let it burn!
7Add chicken and stir fry until the surface gets a tinge of browning but inside is still raw - about 1 minute.
8Add the cabbage, carrot, and the white pieces of shallots (i.e. from the base of the stalk). Stir fry for 1 1/2 minutes until the cabbage is mostly wilted.
9Add the noodles, Sauce and water*. Stir fry for 1 minute, tossing constantly.
10Add bean sprouts and remaining shallots/scallions. Toss through for 30 seconds or until the bean sprouts just start to wilt.
11Remove from heat and serve immediately.
