Chow Mein

Great recipe for a night where you want to use up the extra veggies and meat in your house.  Very versatile- use what you like.  Great as a vegetarian dish as well.  This is the combination of ingredients I used but just use it as a guide.

Ingredients:

Stir Fry:
chicken (I had 3 leftover chicken thighs that I cooked in salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and soy sauce and then chopped into bite sized pieces)
1 cup shredded cabbage
1 cup shredded carrots
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 cup chicken or veggie broth
1 bag chow mein noodles (I used the dry ones- they were on sale)
green onion, thinly sliced
bean sprouts

Sauce:
3 tbsp hoisin sauce
3 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp hot sauce (I used sriracha)
3 tbsp water mixed with a couple tsp of cornstarch
3 cloves garlic, minced or grated
2-3 tsp of freshly grated ginger


Directions:

Mix sauce ingredients and leave in a bowl.

Stir fry your veggies in a hot wok with some oil.  Reserve the green onion and bean sprouts, otherwise they will get overcooked.  Once your onion is translucent, add the broth and noodles.  I partially covered the wok to let the steam cook the dry noodles through while occasionally tossing everything together.

Add in cooked chicken, green onion, bean sprouts and prepared sauce.  Toss for a few minutes then serve.
