Chow Mein Noodles

Cooking with fresh chow mein noodles is new for me, and I’ve made a few dishes so far, and this teriyaki dish is definitely a must try. I’ve added in sautéed peppers and broccoli, and to finish it off, I topped everything with pine nuts and edamame beans. Enjoy!



Ingredients

2-3 tbsp soy sauce -depending on your taste

4 tbsp teriyaki sauce

1 tbsp hoisin sauce

1 tsp sesame seed oil

1 tbsp canola oil

1/3 cup water

Juice from half a large lemon

Black pepper

Frozen edamame beans

1 tbsp canola oil

1 large garlic clove -finely grated

1 large broccoli crown -cut into medium sized pieces

1 red bell pepper -cut into strips

1 orange bell pepper -cut into strips

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 (400 g) package fresh chow mein noodles

Pine nuts



Directions

- Whisk together the soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame seed oil, canola oil, water, lemon juice, and black pepper. Set aside.

- Put some edamame beans in a small pot with water.

- Heat on low.

- Heat a pot of water for the noodles.

- As the water for the noodles heats up, make the veggies.

- Put the oil in a medium sized pan and add in the garlic. Heat on medium.

- Add in the veggies, salt, and black pepper. Mix often and reduce the heat a little when needed so the veggies don’t burn.

- When the veggies are almost cooked, remove from heat, and put them on a plate.

- Drain the water from the edamame beans and set aside.

- At this point the water for the noodles should be boiling. I like to cut the noodles in half because they’re so long.

- Add the noodles to the boiling water and gently stir. Cook for 2 minutes then drain the water.

- As the noodles are in the boiling water, pour the sauce into the pan that the veggies were cooked in. Heat on medium-low.

- Add the noodles and the veggies to the sauce. Increase the heat to medium.

- Using two forks, mix the noodles and the veggies together. Reduce the heat a little if needed.

- When the noodles have soaked up most of the sauce, remove from heat.

- When serving, top with edamame beans and pine nuts.
