Steps:

• Prep all vegetables before you begin cooking.

• Add a splash of water to create steam to help cook the vegetables. Add the blanched broccoli florets, bok choy leaves and the julienned red bell pepper. Stir fry for another minute.
• Add in the noodles and toss to combine. Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili oil and toasted sesame oil. Season with ground white pepper. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Parboil the noodles and make the sauce.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the noodles and boil for 2 minutes. Drain the noodles in a colander and rinse well with cold running water. Place in a bowl, add 1 Tbs. of the corn oil and toss to coat evenly.
• In a small bowl, combine 3 Tbs. water, the oyster sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil and sugar and stir to dissolve the sugar.
• Stir-fry the vegetables.
• Heat a wok or large fry pan over high heat until very hot and add 2 Tbs. of the corn oil. Add the onion and bell pepper and stir-fry just until tender, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and zucchini and continue to stir-fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to a bowl.
• Stir-fry the noodles.
• Return the pan to high heat and add the remaining 2 Tbs. corn oil. Add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, about 5 seconds. Add the noodles and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Return the vegetables to the pan, add the sauce, and continue to stir and toss until all the ingredients are well combined and heated through, about 1 minute. Transfer to a platter and serve immediately. Serves 4.

Steps:

• Prepare the noodles: Bring a large wok (or pot) of water to a boil.
• Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauces, abalone sauce, sugar and boullion powder until everything is dissolved and evenly combined.
• Cook noodles for 1 minute, then transfer to a colander. Rinse the cooked noodles with very cold water until bouncy and totally cool. Drain thoroughly and transfer to a large sheet tray. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil to prevent sticking and toss to coat. Spread noodles in a single layer and set aside. Wipe the wok dry.
• Set the wok (or a large skillet) over high heat until lightly smoking. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and swirl to coat. Add the onions and bell peppers, and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Let it cook undisturbed until slightly charred on one side, about 1 minute. Toss again. Add the bean sprouts and Chinese chives, and stir-fry until the Chinese chives are dark green, about 1 minute.
• Add the cooked, drained noodles to the wok and toss to combine. Keep cooking and stirring until the noodles are toasty and totally dry, about 2 minutes.
• Add the chow mein sauce. Using chopsticks, vigorously and quickly mix the noodles thoroughly until the sauce is equally distributed and the noodles are all the same shade. Plate and serve.

Steps:

• Place the noodles in a saucepan, cover with boiling water and cook according to the packet instructions. Drain and set aside.
• In a frying pan, saute the red onion, garlic and spring onions in a little olive oil over a medium heat for about 8 minutes until the onion softens.
• Add the mushrooms and continue to saute for another 4-5 minutes. Add the spinach and saute just long enough to wilt it. Add the cooked noodles and mix all the ingredients together.
• Finally, add the soy sauce and sesame oil and mix well. Season with a little salt if desired before serving.

Steps:

• Combine soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, and garlic for marinade in a glass or ceramic bowl. Add the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken. Stir-fry until lightly browned and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer cooked chicken to a plate for later.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook over medium heat until cooked through but still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
• Whisk chicken stock, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and cornstarch together in another bowl. Set aside.
• Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in the same pan you cooked the chicken in over medium-high heat. Add garlic. Add bok choy and carrot; stir-fry until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the cooked noodles and chicken stock mixture; stir to combine and cook until the sauce has thickened. Add the chicken back to the pan; stir to combine until warm. Serve.

Steps:

• In a wok or deep skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, then add the par-cooked noodles. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the noodles to crisp, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• In the same wok, heat the remaining tablespoon of cooking oil over medium-high heat and add the onion, bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot. Stir and cook for 2 minutes, then add the garlic and season with salt and pepper. Stir and continue to cook for 2 minutes, or until the onions are translucent.
• Add the cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, snow peas, and corn.
• In a small bowl, combine the water and cornstarch. Mix with a fork to dissolve the cornstarch, then add the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice wine, sugar, and white pepper. Mix well.
• Pour the sauce over the vegetables. Mix well and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened.
• Add the crispy noodles to the wok, mix well and add bean sprouts. Toss gently and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until everything is well-combined. Garnish with sliced scallions.
• Enjoy!
