Chinese | Chicken Chow Mein

Revised on March 6, 2012

This is a great way to use the boy choy and/or cabbage from the farm. I like using leftover roasted chicken as well. I usually increase the boy choy/cabbage, mushrooms, and bean sprouts for a big veggie dish. We think it is even better pan-fried the next day. I pan-fry it in a Scanpan without oil.

Ingredients

6 ounces (1/2 package) Annie Chun's Chow Mein Noodles

2 tablespoons grapeseed oil (or vegetable oil)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon fresh grated ginger

8 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts (pre-cooked or raw), thinly sliced

2 cups bok choy or Chinese cabbage or a mix of each, thinly sliced

1 cup mushrooms, thinly sliced

3 green onions, bias sliced

1 cup bean sprouts

 

SAUCE

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons sesame oil

1 tablespoon sake or rice wine

freshly ground pepper, to taste

1/2 cup low-sodium chicken stock

 

Method

Cook noodles following package instructions. Drain, rinse in cold water, and set aside.

Combine sauce ingredients, set aside.

In wok, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic, ginger and chicken (if using raw) and stir fry until chicken is cooked, hold off on chicken if using pre-cooked chicken. Add bok choy/cabbage, mushrooms, green onions and bean sprouts. Cook until vegetables are just cooked. Add cooked chicken here. Add in sauce and noodles. Mix well.
