Replying to @Beth part 2 of your request 🙌🏼 RECIPE BELOW ⬇️ This is how takeout restaurants make their noodles, I didn’t make the rules and neither did my parents 🤗 but I’ll be sure to post another recipe to show you have to make it at home without all the noodles prep work if you guys want it! Possibly a chicken chow mein recipe next? ➡️ Recipe: Papa Tea’s Restaurant-Style Chow Mein Serves 4-6 Noodles— - [ ] 1lb dry squared wheat noodles - [ ] 5 quarts water (for boiling) - [ ] Neutral oil, I use avocado - [ ] Optional: 4 drops red food coloring + 6 drops yellow food coloring Vegetables— - [ ] 2 Celery stalks, thinly sliced on a bias (about 2 cups) - [ ] 2 cups cabbage, thinly sliced into strips - [ ] 1 medium onion, thinly sliced - [ ] 1 cup bean sprouts, washed - [ ] 1 cup green onions, cut into 3inch pieces - [ ] 4-5 garlic cloves, finely minced Sauce— 2 tbsp oyster sauce 1 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp dark soy sauce 2 tsp sugar 1 tsp chicken bouillon powder 1/4 tsp ground white pepper - [ ] 1/3 cup water - [ ] Neutral cooking oil - [ ] Wok 1. Prep and chop the vegetables and combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside. 2. In a large wok, boil water and add food coloring (optional). Boil 2-3 mins less than instructions state. Strain. 3. Pour into a sheet tray. Drizzle oil to cover all noodles with thin layer of oil so it doesn’t stick. Leave in fridge to cool or leave in room temp to cool. 4. In the same wok, with high heat, add 2-3 tbsp oil. Make sure heat is high otherwise noodles will stick. 5. Add noodles and toss for 2 mins to get the smokey flavor. Move noodles to the side. 6. Add cabbage, celery and onions. Cover veggies with noodles. Pour in 1/3 cup water and cover wok with lid. Steam for 1-2 mins. 7. Uncover lid, pour in sauce mixture over the noodles. Using chopsticks, toss until noodles are coated. About 2 mins. 8. Add bean sprouts and green onions. Toss one more time. Serve and enjoy! #chowmein #takeoutfood #chinesefood #asianfood #easyrecipe
