Chicken Chow Fun
- Two 5- to 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- All purpose flour for dredging
- 1/4 cup good olive oil
- 2 cups Asian-type vegetables (whatever is available to you, such as bok choy, jicama, snow peas, scallions, shiitake, broccoli, long beans, and peas), chopped if applicable
- 2 cups fresh chow fun noodles (or 8 ounces dry pad Thai noodles that have been soaked in hot water according to package instructions to soften)
- 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Chicken Stock, or any stock or broth
- Cut the chicken into strips the size of a babys index finger.
- Pour the flour on a plate or in a small bowl.
- Dredge the chicken in the flour and shake off the excess flour.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy saute pan over high heat until it is hot but not smoking.
- Gently drop the chicken in the pan, evenly distributing it around the pan.
- (Be careful; this can be dangerous because the oil is very hot.
- If you carelessly drop the chicken in, itll splatter on your arms and face.)
- Let the chicken cook, sitting in one spot.
- Check the underside of one piece.
- When it becomes medium brown, use the handle of the fry pan to toss the pan and flip the chicken pieces in the pan.
- It is really hard to flip every piece; just toss the pan a few times to get most of the chicken turned and then use tongs to turn the few remaining pieces so that all the brown faces up.
- Add the vegetables.
- Cut the noodles with scissors so they drop in the pan, and toss.
- Squeeze the juice of the lemon over everything, drizzle with soy sauce, and then add the chicken stock.
- Agitate the pan to coat the chicken and noodles with a sticky brown-black glaze and finish cooking for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Serve in a stainless-steel Chinese dome set if you have one.
