CHOW MEIN HONG KONG STYLE RECIPES

Steps:

• Marinate selected meat(s) with 1 tsp of corn starch, ½ tsp of sherry, ½ tsp of soy sauce, garlic, and a pinch of baking soda.
• Set aside for 15 minutes or longer.
• Heat wok or large pot with ¾ - 1 cup corn or vegetable oil until smoking.
• Pan fry fresh noodles until crispy golden brown and set aside in a serving container or platter.
• Sear meat(s) and set aside with noodles for later.
• Add a little oil to the wok (approx. 2 tablespoons) and stir fry veggies except for the bean sprouts.
• Mix chicken stock with corn starch to thicken sauce and add rest of the ingredients.
• Either mix noodles with the thickened sauce or serve over the fried noodles (Hong Kong Style).
• Flavor with sesame oil and garnish with cilantro for presentation.
• Noodles are available as packaged fresh thin "steamed" egg noodles in Asian markets not to be confused with the thin "egg noodle balls" for won ton soups.
• The latter tends to get gooey and starchy when using "lower heat temperatured" home stoves.

Steps:

• Mix chicken with egg white, 2 teaspoons cornstarch, and sesame oil in a bowl.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add egg noodles; cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Drain. Spread out on paper towels to remove excess moisture.
• Heat vegetable oil in a wok over medium heat. Cook and stir noodles in the hot oil until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
• Stir chicken into the wok; cook, stirring frequently, until white, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon.
• Pour chicken stock into the wok; stir in spring onions, soy sauce, rice wine, white pepper, and black pepper.
• Mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until smooth. Pour into the wok. Stir in oyster sauce. Add chicken and bean sprouts; cook and stir until chicken is tender and sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes. Serve over noodles.
