Cantonese Chow Mein


A cantonese chef -- my roommate-- gave me this recipe that i translated into english. it's pan-fried egg noodles (crispy brown in places) topped with a mix of vegetables and seafood in a light white sauce. very nice.

Steps


Immerse egg noodles into boiling water for 30 seconds , then remove and set aside.
Heat your wok at high heat , keep it dry.
Add 5 tbsp oil and coat the wok evenly with oil.
Fry the noodles for about 2 minutes , and keep shaking it back and forth , until the noodles turn golden brown.
Flip and repeat.
The outer noodles should be golden , inner ones are soft.
Remove noodles and arrange in center of a plate.
Blanch the vegetables in boiling water.
You can arrange the bok choy in a circle around the noodles if you like.
Put some oil and fry minced garlic in the work , then add the blanched vegetables and stir fry.
Add the meat ingredients , 1 tbsp water , cover the wok and steam for 1 - 2 minutes.
Add the flavouring ingredients , the water with corn starch , and fry gently.
Add a bit more water if you want more sauce.
Pour the veggies and meat over the noodles.
Traditionally , chinese people use a carbon steel wok , which is baked in the oven after purchase , and then rubb.
