Ingredients

200g /6 oz chicken breast or thigh fillets (, thinly sliced (Note 1 tenderise option))
4 cups green cabbage (, finely shredded (Note 3))
1 1/2 tbsp peanut oil ((or other cooking oil))
2 cloves garlic (, finely chopped)
200g /6 oz chow mein noodles ((Note 2))
1 carrot (, julienned)
1 1/2 cups bean sprouts
3 green onions (, cut into 5cm/2" pieces)
1/4 cup (65 ml) water
2 tsp cornflour / cornstarch
1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce (, all purpose or light (Note 4))
1 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce ((sub Hoisin))
1 1/2 tbsp Chinese cooking wine (OR Mirin (Note 5))
2 tsp sugar ((reduce to 1 tsp if using Mirin))
1/2 tsp sesame oil
White pepper ((sub black))

Steps:

Mix together cornflour and soy sauce, then mix in remaining ingredients.
Alternative: Use 1/3 cup Chinese All Purpose Stir Fry Sauce, if you have some in stock.
Marinate Chicken: Pour 1 tbsp of Sauce over the chicken, mix to coat, set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
Noodles: Prepare the noodles according to the packet instructions (my pack says soak in boiled water for 1 minute), then drain.
Heat oil in wok or large fry pan over high heat.
Add garlic and stir fry for 10 seconds or until it starts to turn golden - don't let it burn!
Add chicken and stir fry until the surface gets a tinge of browning but inside is still raw - about 1 minute.
Add the cabbage, carrot, and the white pieces of shallots (i.e. from the base of the stalk). Stir fry for 1 1/2 minutes until the cabbage is mostly wilted.
Add the noodles, Sauce and water*. Stir fry for 1 minute, tossing constantly.
Add bean sprouts and remaining shallots/scallions. Toss through for 30 seconds or until the bean sprouts just start to wilt.
Remove from heat and serve immediately.

CHOW MEIN - YOUR CHOICE OF MEAT

Chow Mein - Your Choice of Meat image

This is my recipe for Chow Mein. I can usually make this at a drop of the hat. If you have leftover meat from another meal, you can use it in place of the ground beef - about 2 cups of cooked meat. Also, if you use chicken, use chicken bouillon instead of beef. Most chow mein recipes have mushrooms, but I don't use them because of an allergy. This can be served with rice or chow mein noodles.
