Process writing preparation of chowmin
Answers
Explanation:
Although making chow mein isn't difficult, preparing it does take time. Chow mein is a versatile dish that can be adapted to suit your preferences. Beef, shrimp or pork can be substituted for the chicken, and crispy noodles can be used instead of soft noodles. The chow mein recipe below will make enough servings for 4 to 6 people.
Main Ingredients
8 ounces (227 grams) wonton noodles
2 boneless chicken breasts (or protein source of your choice)
1 pound (254 grams) fresh bean sprouts
2 celery stalks, chopped in 1/2-inch pieces
1 pound (254 grams) broccoli or bok choy, thinly sliced
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1/2 pound (227 grams) fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 sweet red pepper, cut into chunks
1 scallion, finely chopped
Peanut oil (for frying)
Marinade Ingredients
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
Salt and pepper
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
Sauce Ingredients
Low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
Salt and pepper
1
Place 1 pound (454 grams) of fresh bean sprouts in a colander. Rinse them thoroughly, then allow the bean sprouts to drain while you prepare the other ingredients. This should be done about an hour before the rest of the recipe is ready.
If you're not a fan of bean sprouts, that's completely fine. Some recipes leave them out entirely or replace them with 1 cup of Chinese long beans or green beans. You simply cut them into about 1" (2.5 cm) pieces, boil them for 1 minute, blanch them in ice water for 1 minute more, and set aside.[1]

Make your marinade. Place 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of oyster sauce in a small mixing bowl. Add 1 teaspoon soy sauce, along with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch until it becomes one uniform, thickened consistency.[2]
Again, every recipe is different. Some choose to skip the marinade entirely. If you're watching your salt in take, you may want to just stir-fry your chicken (or whatever meat you choose) plain.[3]

Make the sauce for the chow mein. Place 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth into a mixing bowl. Stir in 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Blend 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 4 tablespoons (59.1 ml) water, then stir the cornstarch mixture into the sauce. Set the sauce aside once it's thickened.
Many recipes make a sauce that's a bit sweeter. Consider adding a tablespoon or two of brown sugar, honey, or half a tablespoon of plain white sugar.[4]
1
Chop 2 celery stalks, 1 pound broccoli or bok choy, 1/2 onion, 1 red bell pepper and 1/2 pound (227 grams) fresh mushrooms and 1 scallion. Keep them separate – you'll be cooking them separately later.
The beauty about chow mein is that you can really use whatever vegetables you like. Cabbage and carrot are awfully common, too. Just dice it up and it'll be ready for stir-frying.

Place 2 more tablespoons of peanut oil in a wok. Fry the wonton noodles in the hot oil, one small batch at a time. Remove the noodles when they turn golden.
You may not need that much more oil after the chicken, or you may need plenty. Just make sure there's enough oil in the pan for it to adequately stir-fry whatever's inside.
