I love Chinese food. I am a regular customer to a Chinese fast food centre near our house. Of course everyone likes Chinese food. So I tried one recipe with noodles. The measurements I am giving are somewhat approximate. I am gonna try the other dishes too. If they taste good, I'll definitely post them.
We can include cooked shrimp/ shredded chicken which is cooked before. Then the dish becomes shrimp chowmein/ chicken chowmein. The picture I have posted is of chicken chowmein.
Preparation time: 20 min. if chicken/ shrimp is already cooked and ready.
Ingredients:
Egg noodles: 250 grams
Shredded chicken/ shrimp: 1-2 cups
Mixed vegetables: 2 cups (broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, peas, beans.......)
Spring Onions: 1/2 cup
Button Mushrooms: 1/2 cup
Onion: 1 small
Green chili: 1-2 (optional)
Olive oil: 3 tbsp
Pepper: According to individual taste
Cooking wine/ dry sherry: 1 tbsp
Dark soy sauce: 1/2 tsp
China salt: a pinch
(Do not use china salt if you are pregnant)
Salt to taste
Method:
Boil water enough to cook noodles. Add little amount of salt to the water.
Add noodles to the boiling water and cook till they are done.
Meanwhile, boil mixed vegetables in microwave until they are done. Approximately for 6-8 min.
When the noodles are done, drain the water with the help of a strainer. Run cold water through them.
When they are cool, add 1 tbsp of olive oil to them. Mix the noodles properly until the oil is well coated to the noodles.
Again fry them lightly in a pan. Keep aside.
Heat the remaining oil in the pan.
Add onion, green chili and cooked meat. Skip the meat part to prepare veg. chowmein.
Cook until they are almost done.
Add soy sauce, china salt, cooking wine and salt.
Sprinkle pepper.
Mix well.
Add the boiled vegetables.
Mix well.
Serve hot with ketchup/ tomato-chili sauce.
