Recipe: Chow Mein

Chow Mein! What? I know – Bryce loves noodles and one night we didn’t have much in the house for groceries. So, I decided search for a quick noodle dish. This plain version from FGF is the starting point of this recipe – then I adapted it and let me tell you – it’s a winner!

Okay, let’s get cooking.

Ingredients

• large white onion
• 2 jalapeños
• 1 teaspoon of chopped garlic
• 3 tablespoon of canola oil
• package of rice noodles
• can of mini corn
• about 4 cups of bean spouts
• 4 tablespoons of soy sauce (gf!)
• 3 green onions
• salt to taste

First, get a large pot of boiling water going and cook the rice noodles according to the package for a stir-fry.

In a wok heat up the canola oil and toss in the sliced onion and jalapeños, along with the chopped garlic. Cook on medium-high for about 3 minutes and be sure you’re moving the ingredients around.

Add the cooked noodles and the mini corn and toss for another 3 minutes.

Lastly, add in the bean sprout, the soy sauce and the salt and fry for about 1 more minute.

Dish out and top with chopped green onions – eat up and enjoy!

This quick and easy meal is sure to bring a pack of flavour, thanks to the garlic and jalapeño! Plus, it’s great for a leftover lunch the next day, too.

Well, there you have it, chow mein made right at home. Enjoy this noodle dish the next time you’re in the mood for something filling.

Thanks for visiting and I’ll see you again soon!
