Chicken Chow Mein
- 3 ounces, weight Dried Egg Noodles
- 1 cup Broccoli
- 2 whole Carrots Sliced Thinly
- 1/2 cups Red Pepper, Thinly Sliced
- 2 whole Chicken Breast, Cut In Cubes
- 2 dashes Salt And Pepper
- 1/4 teaspoons Chinese Five Spice
- 1 Tablespoon Constarch
- 1 teaspoon Chili Sauce
- 2 dashes Dark Soy Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Peanut Oil
- 1/2 cups Chopped Onion
- 1 cup Reserved Water From Boiling Noodles
- 2 Tablespoons Light Soy Sauce
- 1/2 cups Bean Sprouts
- Boil water in a medium pot for noodles and broccoli.
- While you are waiting for water to boil, cut all carrots, red pepper, broccoli, and chicken.
- It is important to have all your veggies and chicken marinated first because once you start, it goes very fast and you dont want to overcook the vegetables.
- Once the water comes to boil, add broccoli and cook for 1 minute.
- Use a straining spoon to remove broccoli so you can add the noodles to the boiling water.
- The noodles are thin and will cook very fast, so wait to add them once you start cooking the chicken.
- Salt and pepper the chicken.
- Then marinate chicken in Chinese five spice, cornstarch, chili sauce and dark soy.
- Heat a wok or large saute pan with peanut oil.
- Wait until pan is very hot and then add the chicken.
- Saute it until brown.
- Add all the vegetable except bean sprouts.
- I add them at the very end.
- Add noodles to the water and cook for only 3 minutes.
- Drain water, reserving 1 cup of water.
- (I like to add a little bit of water from the noodles to loosen all the bits stuck on the bottom of the pan.
- You may not need the whole cup but its nice to have just in case.
- It gives you a nice sauce and makes it less dry.)
- Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add light soy and bean sprouts mix all together, then add the noodles.
- Toss and serve.
- I love to cook this because it is a one-pot meal.
- Let me know what you think.
