Chicken Chow Mein


Chow mein is of Chinese-American origin although its name comes from the Mandarin, meaning ‘to stir fry noodles’. It’s usually a dish of noodles, vegetables and meat or shellfish but you can leave out the meat if you prefer.


You will need
4 teaspoons sherry
4 teaspoons light soy sauce
2 clove garlic, crushed
2 teaspoon grated root ginger
4 chicken fillets, thinly sliced
1 pack medium egg noodles (for 4)
2 carrots, peeled
4 oz mange tout, topped and tailed
8 spring onions
4 oz broccoli
3 oz green cabbage
4 oz bean sprouts
oil
2 tablespoon oyster sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil


method

Make a marinade of the sherry, soy sauce, garlic and ginger and leave the chicken slices to marinate for 1 hour.
Diagonally halve the mange tout and slice the remaining vegetables into similar shapes or sizes. Cook the noodles as stated on the packet. Drain.
Heat some oil in a wok and fry the chicken and its marinade for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is browned. Add the carrots, mange tout, spring onions and broccoli and stir fry for 2-3 minutes. Add the cabbage, bean sprouts, oyster sauce, sesame oil and noodles and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
Serve immediately.
