Time 1h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1 lb chow mein noodles, ready to eat (I use a 6 oz pkg of chuka soba chow mein which weighs just over 1 lb prepared)
1 tablespoon peanut oil (to stir-fry noodles)
2 cups bean sprouts (8 oz)
3 green onions, cut into 1-inch lengths
1 small onion, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
3 stalks celery, sliced diagonally (1 cup)
2 cups bok choy, shredded
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1/2 lb char siu pork, sliced and cut into bite-sized pieces (leftover Barbecued Pork--Chinese Style works great)
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
3 tablespoons soy sauce (shoyu)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Mix noodles, vegetables, sesame, and char siu, and place in pan (the chuka soba noodles I use direct you to stir-fry the noodles after boiling them, and I stir-fry them with the onions and bean sprouts before mixing in the other veggies and meat, and putting it in the baking pan).
Mix sauce ingredients, and lace noodle mixture with sauce.
Seal with foil.
Bake at 325°F for 45 minutes.
Remove from oven and loosen foil immediately to let steam escape (so vegetables don't overcook).
Serve hot or cold.

Yield serves 4 as part of a multicourse meal

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

12 ounces, thin dried Chinese egg noodles
2 tablespoons sesame oil
sauce
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced or grated fresh ginger
3 scallions, cut into 2-inch lengths
4 or 5 fresh shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/2 pound Chinese barbecued pork, store-bought or homemade, cut into small, bite-sized pieces

Steps:

1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, or the minimum amount of time suggested by the package. Drain the noodles, rinse under cold water, and drain again, shaking well to remove excess water. Return the noodles to the pot, toss with the sesame oil until the noodles are well coated, and set aside.
2. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine, and honey. Set aside.
3. Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat until a bead of water sizzles and evaporates on contact. Add the peanut oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the garlic, ginger, and scallions and stir-fry until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes.
4. Add the noodles and pork. Pour in the sauce mixture and toss with tongs or chopsticks until the noodles and pork are heated through and well coated with sauce. Transfer to a platter and serve.

Tips:

Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and utensils ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your gon lo mein will taste. Look for fresh vegetables, succulent shrimp, and tender chicken.
Cook the noodles according to the package directions: Overcooked noodles will be mushy and unpleasant to eat. Make sure to cook them until they are al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the food from sticking. If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet instead.
Cook the food in batches: If you try to cook everything at once, the food will not cook evenly. Cook the food in batches, removing each batch from the wok before adding the next.
Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end will help to prevent the noodles from becoming soggy.
Serve immediately: Gon lo mein is best served immediately after it is cooked. The noodles will start to lose their texture if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Gon lo mein is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or as a snack. With its combination of tender noodles, succulent shrimp, tender chicken, and crisp vegetables, gon lo mein is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give gon lo mein a try.
