Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces thin spaghetti
2 tablespoons peanut oil, plus oil for deep frying
1/2 cup shredded Chinese cabbage
1/2 cup shredded celery
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon monosodium glutamate
1/2 cup clear chicken broth
1/2 cup fresh or canned bean sprouts
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Drop spaghetti in 2 quarts of boiling water and boil for 3 minutes. Drain, and then steam in a steamer for 20 minutes. The spaghetti will not stick together. Remove spaghetti from steamer and deep fry in hot oil until crisp. Set the spaghetti aside.
  • Heat the 2 tablespoons of peanut oil in a frying pan over high flame and saute the Chinese cabbage and celery for about 2 minutes. Add the soy sauce, sugar and monosodium glutamate. Mix well. Add the chicken broth and bring to boil. Add bean sprouts and shredded chicken and mix.
  • Dissolve 1 tablespoon cornstarch in 2 tablespoons water. When the broth begins to boil again, thicken with the cornstarch and water.
  • Place fried spaghetti on a large platter and pour the chicken-and-vegetable mixture over it. Serve hot.
