WHAT IS HONG KONG CHOW MEIN 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:

• Here's a quick run-down of the types of HK-style noodles you can buy:
• We'll be washing and cutting our vegetables:
• Next, we'll heat our pan on high heat for about 2-3 minutes. If you're using a non-stick pan like the one pictured, use medium-high heat to help protect the non-stick coating. Then, we'll add 1 tbsp of corn oil. Swirl it around the pan and let the oil heat up until it's shimmering, or forming ripples across the surface.
• Add the chicken, and cook for about 1 minute before adding the other ingredients.
• We don't need to add additional oil, since there's already some in the pan.
• We'll add the shrimp, chicken, and aromatics back into the pan. Mix everything for a bit.
• Transfer the vegetables, meats, and gravy onto the noodles! It's time to eat :)
