Weeknight Chow Mein
- 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 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
- 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.
