Ingredients

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once it's boiling, add the dried Chinese egg noodles and cook according to the package directions until they are al dente. This usually takes about 1 minute.
  • Drain the noodles from hot water and rinse them with cold water to stop the cooking process. This helps to achieve the desired texture for your chow mein.
  • In a large wok or skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the boiled and drained noodles. Gently pan-fry them until they become nicely golden brown and crispy.
  • Pour in the soy sauce mixture, including light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, water, Shaoxing wine, and sesame oil. (optional). Use a pair of tongs to gently stir fry the noodles with the savory sauce together, ensuring that the sauce coats all the ingredients evenly, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Lastly, add the fresh mung bean sprouts and green onion pieces. Stir-fry for an additional 1 minute until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Transfer your delicious Cantonese-style Chow Mein to a plate. Serve hot and enjoy!
