Plain Chow Mein Recipe

Here's my simple recipe for plain chow mein.

Chow Mein is a great side dish to any chinese meal, and it's really easy to make. It's basically just noodles, beansprouts and onions, though you can always add other ingredients if you wish.

You will need the following ingredients...

• Cooked noodles (I used Tiger Tiger chow mein style noodles)
• 1 medium size onion
• Beansprouts (roughly the same volume as the noodles)
• 1 Spring onion
• Light soy sauce
• Dark soy sauce
• Cooking oil

Method

1. Cook the noodles (if they aren't already cooked) according to their instructins.
2. Slice the spring onion finely
3. Slice the onion finely
4. Stir fry the onion in a little oil (I use groundnut) for about 30 seconds
5. Add the beansprouts and noodles, keep stir frying
6. Add a splash of light soy sauce and some dark soy sauce for colour
7. When the noodles are piping hot, add the spring onion, stir for a few more seconds then serve

Nice and simple, and ready in a matter of minutes.
