Chicken Chow Mein – Method & Instructions
Hit the garlic with the flat of the knife to free up the skin which makes it easier for peeling
Dice garlic or crush in a garlic crusher
Place garlic in a bowl
Add both types of soya sauce to the bowl
Sesame oil needs to then be added to the bowl
Cut up chicken into cubes
Add the chicken cubes into the bowl
Mix well ensuring a good coverage of the chicken with the sauce mixture
Marinade in the fridge for at least an hour – overnight is fine too
Chicken Chow Mein Vegetables
Peel and chop an onion into half moons
Cut and discard the root end of the spring onion
Give the spring onions a bias cut (cut diagonal)
Roughly cut pak choi
The leek needs to be given a bias cut – cutting some of the green end and some of the white end
Sugar snap peas then need to be cut on the bias
For the mangetout, cut off the ends and cut in half with a bias cut
Peel the carrot and cut in half the full length of the carrot
Then cut the full length of the carrot in half again
And give the carrot length a very thin bias cut – watch the video for cutting technique
Cauliflower need to be cut into small pieces
Roughly chop the spinach
Broccoli needs to be cut into small pieces
Cut pepper in half and take out the seeds and any excessive white parts
Dice the half pepper into small pieces
Cabbage – cut into small pieces
Cooking your Chicken Chow Mein
Place some olive oil in a hot wok
Use 2 wooden spoons to toss the chicken when frying in the wok (or deep frying pan or pot) but a wok is better
Fry the chicken in a little bit of the soya sauce mixture on a medium heat – but do leave some mixture to one side to use later for the vegetables
After 10 – 15 minutes the chicken should be cooked
Place the chicken into a bowl and leave to one side for to use later
To the wok now add onion, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, sugar snap peas and red cabbage
Add any remaining soya sauce juice mixture to the vegetables in the wok
Toss the vegetable occasionally to make sure the vegetables cook evenly
Cook for 5 minutes then add red peppers, mangetout and leeks
Cooking for a further 5 minutes
Bring a pot of hot water to the boil
And add egg noodles and cook for 3 – 4 minutes or to packets instruction
While the spaghetti is cooking add your pak choi, spring onions and spinach
Cook for a further 2 minutes and add bean sprouts
Add your chicken back into the wok along with the vegetables and give it a good toss around
Drain the noodles and add them to the wok with the chicken and vegetables
Toss everything around so the noodles get mixed well with everything
Dish it up on a plate using 2 big serving spoons – it is the easiest way to dish the chicken chow mein up
