Hi do i make chicken chow mien?
Answers:
I use:-
Some chicken breast cut into strips
A carrot cut into matchstick pieces
Some beanspouts (now i use fresh but as a student I used tinned)
A tin of water chestnuts sliced
A bunch of spring onions sliced
Some noodles - I like quite thick noodles but this is a personal preference I think.
Garlic and ginger finely chopped
A little five spice powder
A little veg oil
Some soy sauce.
(optional pinch of sugar and splash of rice wine vinegar or dry sherry)
I start by putting the noodles to soak in boiling water. Then I heat the oil in a wok and add the five spice, the garlic, ginger and spring onions. Then I add the chicken and stir until cooked. Then in go the carrots, the beanspouts and waterchestnuts. You don't want to overcook these cos you still need a bit of crunch. Drain your noodles and add to the wok. Stir in some soy sauce and the sugar and vingar/sherry. Serve.
