Cantonese Soy Sauce Chow Mein (豉油皇炒麵)

Step 1

Cover your egg noodles in boiling water and allot them to soak for 1 minute. Drain and let it cook while you prepare the remaining ingredients.

Step 2

Slice your onion and cut the chives into 6 inch segments. I prepare the beansprouts by peeling off the ends but that is completely optional. Some grocery stores sell pre peeled beansprouts.

Step 3

Mix together all the sauce ingredients into a bowl.

Step 4

Heat up a wok over high heat with 1 tbsp of oil to cook your onions and beansprouts for 1 minute or until begins to soften then remove.

Step 5

Add 1½ tbsp of oil into the high heat wok along with your egg noodles. Spread it out then cook for 1 minute on each side, adding another 1.5 tbsp of oil after you flip.

Step 6

Add your onions, beansprouts, chives and the sauce. Continue to mix thoroughly until there are no more bald spots in the noodles.

Step 7

Once the sauce is fully combined, top the noodles with sesame oil.

Step 8

Garnish with sesame seeds, and chili oil.
