KING PRAWN CHOW MEIN



King Prawn Chow Mein image

This is a bit of a cheat's way of doing a Chinese recipe, it uses stuff that you are likely to have in your store cupboard, or be able to get at a bog standard supermarket. It is no way authentic, but is very tasty for all that. It works partcularly well with prawns, but you can also use chicken or quorn to much the same effect. If you do not have genuine Chinese Rice Wine, you can use sherry, or just leave it out altogether. Vary the vegetables you use according to your taste, I have included the ones which I find work the best. All measurements are generally approximate, find your own balanceor just throw stuff in and experiment.

1 large pack of "Flour Rice Stick" Noodles
3 chicken leg quarters
2 4 oz bags of "salad shrimp"
1 red bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
1 14 oz can of baby corn
2 large carrots
1/2 head of Savoy Cabbage

1 tsp oregano

When the vegetables are done, add 2 cups of the poaching liquid until the sauce thickens a bit and add soy sauce. Add the 2 bags of shrimp, pulled chicken and noodles, and toss gently.

SHRIMP CHOW MEIN



Shrimp Chow Mein image

This is so good! I felt like I had ordered takeout! The flavors were all spot-on with the slightly crunchy vegetables and the sauce was light, but just enough to coat the noodles, veggies, and shrimp.

Provided by Pam Lolley

Categories     Chow Mein Noodles

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

8 ounces chow mein noodles
¼ cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
½ cup matchstick carrots
½ cup thinly sliced onion
½ stalk celery, diagonally sliced
1 ½ tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
¾ pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup bean sprouts
4 stalks green onions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
2 cups fresh baby spinach

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain, rinse, and set aside.
  • Whisk together chicken stock, sherry, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Heat a large 12-inch cast iron skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot. Add canola oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan; heat until it just begins to smoke. Add carrots, onion, celery, ginger, and garlic to hot oil and cook, stirring constantly, just until vegetables begin to soften, about 1 minute. Add shrimp and cook, stirring constantly, until almost done, about 2 minutes. Push vegetables and shrimp to one side of the pan and add chicken stock mixture; stir constantly until sauce is hot.
  • Add noodles and stir well to mix with sauce and vegetables (using a metal spatula and chopping noodles slightly helps to mix this together.) Cook, stirring constantly, until the noodles have absorbed the sauce, about 2 minutes. Stir in bean sprouts and green onions and cook, stirring constantly, until just cooked, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in baby spinach until just wilted. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: This will help you save time and ensure that you have everything you need before you start cooking.
  • Use a large wok or skillet: This will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the chicken and prawns without overcrowding them.
  • Cook the chicken and prawns in batches if necessary: If your wok or skillet is not large enough to accommodate all of the chicken and prawns at once, cook them in batches to prevent overcrowding.
  • Use a high heat setting: This will help to quickly cook the chicken and prawns and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Stir-fry the chicken and prawns until they are cooked through: The chicken should be cooked through with no pink in the center, and the prawns should be opaque and firm.
  • Add the vegetables and noodles to the wok or skillet: Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender and the noodles are heated through.
  • Season the chow mein to taste: Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, and white pepper to taste.
  • Serve the chow mein immediately: Garnish with chopped green onions and enjoy!
