Chicken Chow Mein Recipe (How to Make Chow Mein)

boneless skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)

oyster sauce

sugar

Fresh chow mein noodles

canola oil

green cabbage (shredded)

purple cabbage (shredded)

rib celery (chopped)

carrot (julienned)

Marinate the chicken - In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the cornstarch, soy sauce, and Chinese cooking wine. Add the chopped chicken to the bowl and thoroughly mix to coat the chicken in the marinade. Set aside.

Prepare the sauce - As the chicken marinates, combine the corn starch, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, Chinese cooking wine, and sugar. Stir well to combine and set aside.

Prepare the noodles - Cook the noodles according to package instructions. For me, this meant boiling my noodles in water for 2-3 minutes max. Do not overcook, you want them to remain slightly undercooked. Drain well.

Fry the noodles - Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the oil, swirl to coat the entire surface of the skillet. Add the noodles. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes, or until golden and starting to turn crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the chicken - Add an additional tablespoon of oil to a large wok or heavy-bottomed skillet set over high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes, mixing frequently, to ensure even cooking. Once cooked, remove to a clean plate and set aside.

Saute the aromatics and vegetables - Return the wok or skillet to high heat. Add an additional tablespoon of oil and the minced garlic, immediately add the shredded cabbage, celery, carrots, and green onion. Thoroughly mix to combine and cook, stirring continuously for 1-2 minutes.

Add the sauce - Add the noodles, sauce, and return the chicken to the pan. Stir fry for 1 minute, tossing continuously. Finally, stir in the bean sprouts. Mix thoroughly and cook for an additional 30-60 seconds.

Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Ever wondered how to make restaurant quality Chow Mein it at home? It&#39;s actually easier than you might think! With just a few basic tips and tricks, you&#39;ll be making chowmein as good (or even better) than your go-to takeout place!

cabbage

green onions/spring onions

carrots

300 grams/11 oz noodles ((preferably egg noodles))

tbsp cooking oil ((neutral))

tsp toasted sesame oil ((optional))

tbsp dark soy sauce

tbsp oyster sauce ((regular

tsp sugar

Thinly slice cabbage, carrots and white parts of the green onions/spring onions. Cut the green parts into 2-inch pieces.

Mix all the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Keeping this ready makes it easier while stir frying.

Boil water and cook noodles 2 minutes less than the package instructions. The noodles will cook further while stir frying so it’s important to undercook them.

Strain the noodles and dunk them into cold water or rinse them until they have cooled completely. This stops the noodles from overcooking. Strain out excess water and coat in some oil to prevent them from clumping together.

Preparation

Heat a wok/pan on high heat and add some oil. Add the carrots and stir fry for 1 minute. Next add the cabbage and stir fry for 1 minute. Next add the white part of green onion/spring onions and mix well.

Spread the veggetables around the wok/pan so they can get a light char. Once done, set them aside.

Next add some oil and stir fry the noodles for 2-3 minutes on high heat. This enhances the taste and gives it a wok tossed flavor. Use chopsticks or tongs to mix the noodles so they don’t break.

Once the noodles have stir-fried well, add the veggetables and mix well.

Pour in the sauce and stir fry for 2 minutes. Taste and adjust salt if needed. Some noodle brands are saltier than others.
