How to make Shanghai Style Fried Noodles with Chicken or Pork Recipe

Shanghai Style Fried Noodles with Chicken or Pork Recipe

Fried noodles with vegetables and either chicken or pork. It is quite easy to make even through there are a few steps involved.

Available in 400 g packages, cooked thick yellow miki noodles are ready to use – and the perfect amount for two. If you can't find them, use Shanghai-style noodles instead (see Tip), but you'll only need half the package.

Ingredients:- for Shanghai noodles 

• 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 1 tbsp (15 mL) sodium-reduced soy sauce
• 1 tbsp (15 mL) Chinese rice wine or dry sherry, (optional)
• 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) cornstarch
• 2 green onions
• 1 sweet green pepper
• 2 tbsp (30 mL) vegetable oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 cup (250 mL) shredded cabbage
• 1 pinch granulated sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pkg (400 g) precooked miki noodles
• 2 tbsp (30 mL) hoisin sauce
• 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) sesame oil

Preparation:-

Cut chicken into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes; place in bowl. Add soy sauce, rice wine (if using) and cornstarch; toss to coat. Marinate for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, slice white parts of green onions into 1-inch (2.5 cm) lengths; thinly slice green parts. Set aside separately. Cut green pepper into quarters; thinly slice on diagonal. Set aside.

In wok or large skillet, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat; stir-fry garlic and white parts of onions until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chicken mixture; stir-fry until juices run clear when chicken is pierced, about 3 minutes. Scrape into bowl.

Add remaining oil to wok; stir-fry cabbage, green pepper, sugar and salt for 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup (50 mL) water; cover and steam until water evaporates and cabbage is tender, about 3 minutes. 

Add noodles, hoisin sauce and sesame oil, tossing to coat. Return chicken mixture to pan along with green parts of onions; cook until heated through.
