Ingredients
- ¼ cabbage
- 1 carrot large
- ¼ red bell pepper large
- ¼ broccoli
- A handful green beans
- 1 green chili
- 2-inch piece ginger
- 2-3 garlic cloves
- 7 oz noodles
- ⅓ cup Shaoxing wine
- 2 tablespoon sesame seeds
Homemade Chow Mein Sauce
- 2 ½ tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoon vegetable oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ¼ cup water or vegetable stock
Instructions
- Wash and dry all the veggies. Finely slice the cabbage, carrot, and bell pepper. Cut the broccoli into small florets and the green beans into 3 cm long pieces.
- Finely chop the green chili, ginger (peeled), and garlic cloves.
- Cook the noodles following the package instructions, drain the water, add some sesame oil to avoid them from sticking, and reserve.
- Combine all the sauce ingredients using a small or medium-sized bowl. Combine by using a whisk until you have an homogeneous sauce.
- Add some vegetable oil to a wok and heat to medium-high heat.
- Stir-fry the green chili, garlic, and ginger for a few minutes until they become fragrant and slightly softened. If you notice that they are cooking too fast or starting to burn, add a little water to deglaze the wok and keep cooking.
- Add sliced red bell pepper, cabbage, green beans,carrot, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry all the veggies together until they start to soften but still have a slight crunch.
- Carefully pour in a bit of the cooking Chinese wine and let it cook for a minute or two until it evaporates. Add some water if the veggies are still too crunchy, and cook until the water fully evaporates.
- Add the cooked noodles.
- Pour the homemade stir-fried sauce over the noodles and vegetables into the wok.
- Add sesame seeds. Finally, toss everything together to combine all the flavors and serve.
Notes
- For those who love a fiery kick, incorporate spicy ingredients like Sriracha, chili oil, or hot peppers into your vegetable chow mein
