Chicken chow mein
Ingredients
150g/5oz dried medium egg noodles
dash toasted sesame oil
300g/11oz skinless chicken breast fillets, sliced into strips
dash dark soy sauce
1 tsp five-spice powder
1 tsp chilli sauce (optional)
1 tbsp cornflour
1-2 tbsp groundnut oil
1 red pepper, de-seeded and finely sliced
150g/5oz bean sprouts
1 large spring onion, sliced lengthways
2 tbsp light soy sauce
freshly ground black pepper
Cook the noodles in a pan of boiling water for 2-3 minutes until al dente, or according to packet instructions. Drain, then rinse under cold running water and drain again. Drizzle with a dash of sesame oil and toss through to prevent the noodles from sticking to each other.
Place the chicken strips in a bowl and season with a dash of dark soy sauce, the five-spice powder and chilli sauce, if using. Mix well, then lightly dust the chicken strips with the cornflour.
Heat a wok until smoking and add the groundnut oil, then add the chicken and stir fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken is golden-brown and cooked through.
Add the red pepper and stir fry for one minute, then add the bean sprouts and spring onion and stir fry for 30 seconds. Stir in the cooked noodles and season with the light soy sauce, a dash of sesame oil and freshly ground black pepper.
Pile the noodles onto a serving plate and serve immediately.
Chow mein - the classic Chinese comfort dish. Here is a standard way of preparing noodles for chow mein. Parboiled noodles are browned on one side, then turned over and cooked on the other side. This makes the noodles browned and crunchy on the outside and tender inside. Noodles cooked this way are also called "both sides browned" and "twice browned" noodles.
Here's what you'll need to cook the chow mein noodles:
1/2 pound fresh egg noodles
2 1/2 tablespoons vegetable or peanut oil, or as needed
1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
1 12-inch skillet with a non-stick coating
