Steps:
- Slice the pork belly into thin strips. Put the pieces in a bowl and add the soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, salt and cornstarch. Mix, then set aside while preparing the other ingredients.
- Put the dried shrimp in a bowl and add 60ml (¼ cup) of water. Set aside to soak.
- Remove and discard the core from the base of the cabbage, then cut the leaves into bite-size pieces.
- Remove and discard the stem, core and seeds from the bell pepper. Slice the bell pepper into thin strips.
- Cut the spring onions and chives into 2.5cm (1 in) lengths. Cut the garlic cloves in half. Slice the ginger into fine shreds.
- Pour the oyster sauce into a bowl and add the soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, salt and sesame oil. Drain the dried shrimp and add the soaking liquid to the bowl. Stir well.
- Whisk the eggs in a bowl.
- Heat a wok over a medium flame, then add about 5ml (1 tsp) of cooking oil. Use a paper towel to rub the oil into the wok to coat it lightly but evenly.
- Pour half of the egg into the wok. Immediately swirl the wok so the egg is in a thin layer. Cook until the egg is matte on the surface. Lift the crepe out of the wok - it's OK if it breaks - and place on a cutting board. Coat the wok again with oil then prepare the remaining egg the same way, stacking the crepes on top of each other.
- Roll the crepes into a cylinder then slice them into strips about 5mm (¼ in) wide. Unroll the strips and set aside.
- Wash the wok then place it over a high flame. When the wok is hot, add 10ml (2 tsp) of oil. Swirl the wok to coat it with the oil, then add the cabbage. Sprinkle lightly with salt then stir-fry over a high flame for about a minute, or until the cabbage is lightly wilted. Add the spring onion, chives and shrimp and stir-fry for about 30 seconds. Transfer the ingredients to a medium-size bowl.
- Place the wok back over a high flame (no need to wash it) and add about 10ml (2 tsp) of cooking oil. When the oil is hot, add the garlic, ginger and bell pepper. Stir-fry for about 45 seconds, or until the bell pepper starts to wilt. Remove the ingredients from the wok, putting them into the bowl with the other vegetables.
- Place the wok back over a high flame (again, no need to wash it) and add about 10ml (2 tsp) of cooking oil. When the oil is hot, add the pork belly and marinade. Stir-fry over a high flame until the meat loses its pink colour.
- Add the vegetables and shrimp back to the wok and mix well. Spread the noodles over the ingredients, then leave to cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds.
- Pour the oyster sauce mixture over the noodles. Mix well, then stir-fry almost constantly until the noodles are hot. Taste the noodles and correct the seasonings, if necessary. Mix in the strips of egg crepe.
- Transfer the ingredients onto a platter and serve, with chilli sauce on the side.

Steps:
- ***NOTE:I like to buy the coleslaw mix in the produce section.
- Already shredded--a real time saver.
- ***NOTE:If I'm in a hurry, I also buy the carrots already shredded in the produce section, and use instead of sliced.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or wok.
- Sauté pork, onion, garlic and pepper flakes until meat is no longer pink.
- Remove this mixture from pan and keep warm.
- Add remaining tbsp of oil (or more as needed) to pan and sauté cabbage, bok choy or celery, carrots and peppers until crisp tender.
- Add spaghetti to cooked veggies in the pan.
- Stir in soy sauce and add pork mixture back to the pan.
- Cook for 5 minutes or until heated through.
- (At this step, I like to get the noodles nice and dark, by cooking a bit longer. You decide).
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your chow mein comes together quickly and easily.
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your chow mein the best flavor and texture. If you can, buy them from a farmers market or organic grocery store.
- Cook the noodles properly: The noodles are the base of your chow mein, so it's important to cook them properly. Be sure to follow the package directions carefully.
- Don't overcrowd the wok: When stir-frying the vegetables and meat, don't overcrowd the wok. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Use a high-quality sauce: The sauce is what brings all the flavors of chow mein together. Be sure to use a high-quality sauce that you enjoy.
- Serve immediately: Chow mein is best served immediately after it's cooked. This will ensure that the noodles are still hot and the vegetables are still crisp.
