This lo mein is great hot or cold, packed for lunches. Easy to make vegetarian by substituting firm tofu for the chicken. From Sunset Magazine. Ingredients:
3/4 lb egg noodles, chinese lo mein |
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil |
1/4 cup hoisin sauce |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided |
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced |
4 teaspoons garlic, minced |
1/3 cup green onion, thinly sliced |
1 cup carrot, coarsely shredded |
1 cup celery, thinly sliced |
1 cup red onion, thinly sliced |
1 1/2 cups chicken, chopped cooked or 1 1/2 cups tofu, cubed |
3/4 cup mung-bean mixed sprouts |
3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped |
Directions:
1. Cook noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water until just tender to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and mix with sesame oil. In a small bowl, combine hoisin and soy sauce.
2. Pour 1 tablespoons canola oil into a 12-in. nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add ginger, garlic, green onions, carrots, celery, and red onion, and stir often just until softened, 2 to 4 minutes. Add chicken and bean sprouts and stir just until warm. Turn out into a bowl and keep warm.
3. Wipe frying pan clean. Pour remaining 1 tablespoons oil into pan over medium heat. Add noodles; stir and turn occasionally until light brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
4. Pour hoisin mixture and chicken mixture over noodles, add cilantro, and mix gently.
5. *To substitute fresh angel hair pasta for Chinese egg noodles, use 9 oz. and cook 45 seconds.
