WEEKNIGHT CHOW MEIN



Weeknight Chow Mein image

Easy, tasty weeknight recipe. Adaptable to different types of meat; add veges or delete to suit your taste, or what you have on hand. I developed this "cook-and-drain" technique to avoid chow mein that was swimming in liquid. It also makes added thickeners unnecessary. I show varying amounts of noodles and cabbage - I enjoy a chow mein with lots of veges, but others in my family like the noodles. This recipe works well either way.

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 -12 ounces whole wheat spaghetti
1 teaspoon peanut oil
1 tablespoon peanut oil
8 -12 ounces Chinese cabbage, shredded
2 tablespoons peanut oil
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon chili-garlic sauce (or to taste)
1 lb pork or 1 lb shrimp
1/2 onion, sliced thinly
4 ounces Chinese pea pods, slivered
1/2 red bell pepper, slivered
1 small zucchini, slivered
1 carrot, slivered
4 ounces mushrooms, sliced
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
lime wedge, to garnish

Steps:

  • Cook spaghetti in boiling water as directed. Drain in colander, sprinkle with 1 t. peanut oil to keep from sticking, and let set.
  • Slice chicken or pork into thin strips. Peel shrimp. A single meat, or a combo work fine in this recipe.
  • Heat 1 T. peanut oil in wok. Stir-fry cabbage until hot-crisp. Dump on top of spaghetti in colander and let set. (any moisture coming off the cabbage will drain, keeping your chow mein from getting soggy).
  • Heat 2 T. peanut oil in wok. Add sesame oil, ginger, chili sauce, meat or shrimp. Stir-fry until meat is almost done.
  • Add remaining veges and continue stir-frying until veges are hot-crisp and meat is done.
  • Add oyster sauce and stir to coat. Add cabbage and spaghetti and combine thoroughly.
