Steps:
- Julienne(cut into matchstick pieces) all the vegetables. In a 14 inch pan, heat 3 TBL of oil and sautee all the vegetables and cornstarch except for the cabbage until tender (not wilted). While the veggies are sauteing, take the dried noodles and boil them in the poaching liquid for about 3-4 minutes. This will give the noodles great flavor. Once the noodles have softened, take them out of the poaching liquid (DO NOT DISCARD) and set aside. 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. Add the cabbabe and heat through and until the cabbage has slightly wilted. Plate and serve!
SHRIMP CHOW MEIN
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.

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.

KING PRAWN CHOW MEIN
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.
