Chow Mein (Chinese Noodles) Recipe
Ingredients:
8 oz. steamed chow mein (Chinese noodles)
2 oz. pork (cut into thin slices)
5 shrimp (shelled and deveined)
3 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
1/2 cup shredded cabbage
1/4 cup shredded carrot
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon Chinese dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons cooking oil
2 stalks scallions (cut into 2-inch length)
Salt to taste
Method:
Soak the steamed chow mein in cold water for about 5 minutes. Rinse a few times until the water turns clear and the chow mein is soft. Drain the excess water and set aside. (Don’t over soak the chow mein or the noodles will get limpy and soggy.)
In a small mixing bowl, mix all the seasoning ingredients. Set aside.
Heat up the wok with the cooking oil. Add in the chopped garlic and stir-fry until light brown or aromatic. Add the pork and shrimp and stir fry until they are half done. Add the shredded cabbage and carrot into the wok and do a few quick stirs. Add the noodles , the seasoning mixture and the water. Continue to stir until the noodles are well blended with the seasonings and completely cooked through. Add the chopped scallions, do a few final stirs, dish out and and serve hot.

Is there a substitute for oyster sauce? I have unfortunately developed an intolerance for it, so I feel ill after I eat anything that has it as an ingredient.
You can just use soy sauce but it’s not as flavorful, or you can try fish sauce.
This is a great recipe – I am definitely going to try and make it using shrimp, mushrooms and fish sauce this weekend.
Same problem here. But I have seen oyster FLAVORED sauce. Would that be sort-of a faux oyster sauce?
It contains a blend of various types of Mushrooms so if u aren’t mushroom intolerant then it is a fantastic substitute for veg people in various stir-fries and other chinese dishes
Great recipes! Have tried many times to cook Asian food with inconsistent results. Found your website by accident 3 days ago and am on my third dish. Great flavors, simple cooking method. Thank you so very much. Added bonus: my kids like it, too!
