Attachment 364041
I like to top it with those crunchy noodles.....
Here's the recipe......I only used the turkey today I didn't have any shrimp. The recipe is pretty flexible as to what meat you use and the types of vegetables.
Chow Mein
8 oz. Chinese rice noodles, ¼ inch wide
Soak the noodles in hot water for about 5 minutes. Drain the excess water and set aside. (Don’t over soak the noodles will get limp and soggy.)
Sauce:
3 tbsp. soy sauce (low sodium)
3 tbsp. oyster sauce
1-1/2 tsp. sugar
1-1/2 tsp. low sodium dark soy sauce (optional)
2 tbsp. cornstarch
1 ½ c. chicken broth
In a small mixing bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients. Set aside.
2 tbsp. cooking oil
8-10 shrimp (shelled and deveined)
½- ¾ lb. ground turkey, chicken or pork….or 3 chicken breasts ( bite size pieces)
1 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. sesame oil
Drizzle the soy and sesame oil in a bowl with the meat and set for about 10-15 minutes.
1 tbsp. oil
2c. shredded cabbage
½-3/4 c. baby carrots, shredded or sliced thin
½ c. red onion, cut into 1 inch strips
2/3 c. red pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
½ c. sliced mushrooms
½ c. chopped broccoli /or celery (optional)
½ c. bean sprouts, rinsed
3 garlic cloves (finely chopped or pressed)
Small bunch scallions cut into ½ in. lengths
Heat up the wok or a very large skillet with the cooking oil, add the meat and stir fry until no longer pink. Remove and set aside.
Add the 1 tbsp. oil in the empty skillet. Over med.-high heat add the veg.’s, stir until tender crisp, about 3-4 mins.
Add in the garlic, stir for about 10 seconds.
Add the noodles, meat, sauce mixture and the sprouts. Continue to stir until the noodles are well blended with the seasonings and completely cooked through, about 3 minutes. Add the chopped scallions, do a few final stirs, dish out and serve hot.
