This is a recipe for Old Style Chicken Chow Mein. Made with dry, crunchy noodles. Popular in Chinese restaurants across North America. The chow mein soaks up the sauce. I ate a lot of this type of chow mein when I was growing up. Once in a while I have a real craving for it. The recipe is below:
Chicken Chow Mein
3 cups dry noodles
1 cup sliced celery
1 cup sliced onions
2 cups bean sprouts
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon dark sweet soy sauce
1 tablespoon cooking oil
2 teaspoons cornstarch in 1/4 cup water
Heat pan or wok at medium heat. Add celery, onions, salt, sesame oil and soy sauce. Briefly stir fry. Add bean sprouts. Stir fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Gradually add cornstarch mixture to thicken the sauce. Add chow mein noodles and mix in. There you have it. Enjoy!
