CHAR SIU CHOW MEIN (叉烧炒面)

Steps:

• If you're using regular dried noodles, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook noodles according to the instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse with tap water. Set aside. You can skip this step if you are using Hong Kong style pan fried noodles.

If you're using boiled noodles, cook the noodles for 1 minute, stirring occasionally, until it's evenly coated with oil. If the noodles start to look dry or stick to the pan (which happens more frequently if you're using a carbon steel or cast iron wok), pour in more oil or water to loosen it up.
• Move the noodles to one side of the pan. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, green onion, and garlic to the other side of the pan. Stir for 20 seconds to release the fragrance. Then stir everything together.
• Add the baby bok choy, char siu, and pour in the sauce. Toss with a pair of tongs to mix everything. Cover the pan. Let steam for 1 minute or so, or until the bok choy is cooked and the sauce fully absorbed. Toss a few times. Carefully taste the noodles. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and stir again, if needed. Transfer everything to serving plates.
