Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup shaoxing wine
1/2 cup oyster sauce
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1/4 cup sliced scallion whites, save green for garnish
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon sambal oelek
1 pound skinless chicken meat. I prefer the leg/thigh meat, but breast may be substituted
Canola oil to cook
6 cloves garlic sliced thin
2 cups shiitake mushrooms, quartered
1 cup chicken stock
4 heads baby bok choy, core out, sliced
1 pound blanched and refreshed lo mein noodles
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the shaoxing. Mix in the oyster sauce, ginger scallions, pepper and sambal. Mix in the chicken and marinate for at least 2-hours, preferably overnight. In a hot wok coated with oil, add the garlic and shiitakes and stir-fry for 4 minutes until the mushrooms are soft. Set mushrooms aside and in the same wok, add the chicken and cook for 6 to 8 minutes. Add the stock and season with salt and pepper. Add the bok choy and cook another 3 minutes. Add back the shiitakes and the noodles. Completely coat and heat the noodles. Check for seasoning.

BOK CHOY SALAD WITH CHOW MEIN



Bok Choy Salad with Chow Mein image

This is a quick bok choy salad recipe I got from my mother. I made a few modifications to the dressing to fit my own taste, but it's been a hit with my husband, and our child and frequently asked for when they see bok choy in the store. This can be served as either an appetizer or a salad for any meal. Add green onions, if desired.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients beforehand: Chop the bok choy and other vegetables, mince the garlic and ginger, and measure out the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil before you start cooking. This will make the cooking process much smoother and faster.
  • Use high heat: When you're stir-frying, it's important to use high heat so that the vegetables cook quickly and evenly. This will help them retain their鮮嫩andvibrant color.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will steam instead of fry, and they won't get that nice charred flavor. Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end of the cooking process will help keep the vegetables crisp and prevent them from becoming soggy.
