VEGETABLE CHOW MEIN

VEGETABLE CHOW MEIN
We loved!  Easy!  Have everything ready before starting to prepare on stove.  Goes together fast once things prepped.  Sugar snap peas or broccoli would be a good addition.

  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
  • 4 cups Napa Cabbage (shredded, more to taste) (Napa was so spendy used regular cabbage)
  • 1 cup Carrots (shredded)
  • 1/2 bunch Green Onions (sliced in long thin strips)
  • 1lb Fresh Steamed Thin Chow Mein Noodles** 
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce (Light)
  • 1/8 - 1/4 cup Pure Sesame Oil (To taste)
  • 1/4 cup Panda Brand Lo Mein Sauce (oyster sauce, 1 tsp Better than Bouillon Chicken base, and 1/2 tsp sugar.)
  • 2 cups Bean Sprouts (cleaned and trimmed)
  • 2 cups Baby Bok Choy (sliced thin)

**used 3 pkgs ramen - cooked 2 min in boiling water or Angel Hair pasta and cook the pasta for 2 minutes, then rinse with cold water

Step 1
In a large colander, run hot water through the steamed chow mein for about 30 seconds, separating the noodles and removing the excess flour. Set aside.

Step 2
In large wok or pan, heat oil on medium-high and add green onions, cabbage and carrots. Stir-fry for about 2-4 minutes, or until the cabbage is wilted.

Step 3
Increase the temperature to high and add the chow mein noodles and 1/2 cup of chicken broth. Cook stirring and tossing constantly for about 45 seconds and then add the remaining chicken broth. Cook for another 1-2 minutes or so or until all the liquid is dissolved.

Step 4
Add the remaining ingredients, soy sauce, sesame oil and lo mein sauce. Continue to cook for another 2-4 minutes. Remove from heat and serve.

Step 5
Variation: You can also choose at this point to crisp the bottom by spreading the noodles on the pa
n and cooking on high for about 1-2 minutes without moving or stirring the noodles. Flip over onto a plate and serve.
