Today’s Recipe
On the ninth day of our 12 Days of Christmas in July Giveaway, my true love gave to me…Helen’s Easy Stir-Fry Noodles with Oyster Sauce Recipe from Harold Import Company!
Serves 6
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound dry Chinese wheat noodles or thin spaghetti
- 8 ounces shredded lean pork or chicken breast
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons dry sherry
- 4 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 10 ounces shredded napa cabbage
- 5 medium dried black mushrooms, soaked in hot water 15 minutes until soft
- 2 ounces snow peas, ends snapped off, strings removed and shredded on the diagonal
- 1 medium carrot, shredded
- ½ cup canned shredded bamboo shoots, drained
- 6 tablespoons Canton Oyster Stir Fry Sauce, or more to taste (Made using the recipe on Helen Chen’s Asian Kitchen® Easy Stir Fry Sauce Bottle, or you can purchase a pre-made sauce from your local grocer or Asian food specialty store.)
DIRECTIONS
- In a large pot of boiling water, cook the noodles until a little softer than al dente. Drain, rinse in cold water, and drain again. Set aside.
- In a small bowl mix meat with cornstarch and sherry. Drain the mushrooms and squeeze dry. Cut off the stems with scissors and discard. Shred caps.
- In a wok, heat cooking oil over medium-high heat, add the well-stirred meat mixture and stir-fry about two minutes or until it separates and changes color, about 1 minute. Add the onion, cabbage, mushrooms, carrot and bamboo shoots, and stir until the cabbage begins to wilt, about 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle the noodles with a few tablespoons of water to loosen them up, drain, then add them to the pan. Pour the Canton Oyster Stir Fry Sauce over the noodles and add in the snow peas. Continue tossing and stirring until well mixed and evenly colored, about 1 minute. Taste and add more sauce, if desired.
- Transfer the noodles to a serving platter and serve immediately.
