Provided by Lisa from A Day in the Kitchen

Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb. (454g) steamed chow mein noodles ((See Notes 1 & 2 below))
1/2 lb. (227g) BBQ pork ((See Note below on substituting))
2 tbs light oil
1 medium carrot (julienned)
1/2 onion (sliced thin)
2 oz. fresh bean sprouts (rinsed)
2 oz. green cabbage (sliced thin)
Green onions (sliced into 1" lengths)
4 tbs soy sauce
2 tbs honey
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp white pepper ((black pepper is okay, too))
1/2 tsp sesame oil

Steps:

  • Combine all sauce ingredients in a bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
  • Slice BBQ pork into strips. Set aside.
  • Fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil.
  • Add steamed chow mein noodles to the boiling water and stir with chopsticks to loosen, about 1 minute.
  • Drain the noodles in a colander and rinse well with cold water.
  • Shake excess water from the colander and let noodles continue to drain.
  • Heat a large wok over medium high heat.
  • Add oil, then add sliced onions and carrots. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add the BBQ pork to the pan and cook about 1 minute.
  • Stir the sauce and add to the pan, mixing with all the ingredients. Let cook about 1 minute.
  • Add the cabbage and bean sprouts and mix to combine.
  • Add the noodles and the green onions.
  • Using two spatulas or two cooking spoons, lift and toss all the ingredients in the wok to mix.
  • Continue to mix until noodles are heated through and ingredients are well combined. No liquid should remain at the bottom of the wok.

Tips:

  • Using a large skillet or wok will ensure that the noodles don't stick together and will cook evenly.
  • Make sure the noodles are fully cooked before adding them to the skillet. Undercooked noodles will be chewy and not have the right texture.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you add too much food at once, it will not cook evenly and the noodles will become mushy.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender-crisp. Overcooked vegetables will become limp and lose their flavor.
  • Use a high-quality soy sauce. A good soy sauce will add a lot of flavor to the dish.
  • Serve the chow mein immediately. This dish is best when served fresh and hot.

Conclusion:

Pork chow mein is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your chow mein turns out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this pork chow mein recipe a try!
