    RECIPE (2 servings)
    INGREDIENTS:
    1/2 small cabbage
    5 green onions/spring onions
    2 carrots
    300g/11 oz noodles (preferably egg noodles)
    4 tbsp oil
    -sauce-
    1.5 tbsp light soy sauce
    1 tbsp dark soy sauce
    1 tbsp oyster sauce (regular or vegetarian)
    3 cloves garlic grated
    1 tsp sugar
    2 tbsp water
    METHOD:
    1. Thinly slice cabbage, carrots and white part of the green onions/spring onions. Slice the green part into 2 inch thick pieces
    2. Mix sauce ingredients in a bowl before hand. This will make it easier while stir frying
    3. Boil water and cook noodles 2 mins less than the package instructions. The noodles will cook further while stir frying so it’s important to undercook them
    4. Strain the noodles and dunk it into cold water or rinse them until they are cold. This helps making the noodles stop cooking immediately. Strain out excess water and coat in some oil to prevent it from sticking
    5. Heat a wok/pan on high heat and add some oil. Add the carrots and stir fry for 1 min
    6. Next add the cabbage and stir fry for 1 min
    7. Next add the white part of green onion/spring onions and mix well
    8. Spread the veggies around the wok/pan so they can get a light char. Once the veggies are done, set it aside
    9. Next add some oil and stir fry the noodles for 2-3 mins on high heat. This enhances the taste and gives it a wok tossed flavour. Use chopsticks or tongs to mix the noodles so they don’t break
    10. Once the noodles stir fried well, add the veggies and mix well
    11. Pour in the sauce and stir fry for 2 mins. Taste and adjust salt if needed. Some noodle brands are saltier than others
    12. Switch off the flame, add green part of green onions/spring onions and a few drops of sesame oil. Enjoy!
    _______________________________________
    SUBSTITUTES:
    • No scallions/spring onions?
    Substitute with 1 small regular onion
    • No oyster sauce?
    Add 1/2 tsp soy sauce + 1/2 tsp sugar
    • No dark soy sauce?
    Skip it. It’s mainly added for colour. Your noodles will be a lot lighter without it
    _______________________________________
    TIPS:
    • It’s important to not add salt to the vegetables. If you add salt they’ll release too much water and turn soggy
    • Stir frying veggies on high heat gives it a light char while keeping it crunchy at the same time
    • Different brands of noodles have different levels of salt, adjust the sauce depending taste
    • Use Chinese brands of sauces for an authentic taste. I use Lee kum kee sauces in this video

      Try curving your fingers more so that the knife will automatically slide off the middle phalanx and never reach the first tucked under. It takes some time to practice but it’s definitely worth it.

    As an American my favorite Chinese dishes are:
    1. Shrimp and Lobster sauce, white rice
    2. Rib Tips with soft wonton
    3. House Special Rice, BBQ Ribs, Hoisin
    4. Beef And Broccoli
    5. Curry Chicken, white rice

    Hello! Thanks. I just made this. The noodles turned out so basic and yummy. Perfectly cooked with the right bite and crunch. The sauce was flavourful and mild enough to be enjoyed by all ages. I personally yearned for a bit of a spicy kick so next time, I'll skip the sugar, add vinegar for tang, add sliced green chillies, incorporate chilli sauce or just cook the dish in a chilli oil base.

    I don't understand why you don't get views like seriously your recipes are perfect and tempting and videos are not only high quality but also give such an ASMR feeling, i love to hear the sounds. And honestly speaking and it's absolutely my point of view people like me don't like to watch those 20 mins-30 mins recipe videos and that too some people talking a looottttttt. And people like me are noobs at cooking we keep on rewinding even while doing an easy recipes so another reason for loving your content is the length of your videos. Everything is so perfect with your recipes, content, and video quality still so less views i don't understand this thing seriously. And btw I will try this recipe for sure, I have tried many of your recipes on special occasions like butter garlic chicken on 1st Jan 2021, then your easiest chilli chicken and that quick fried rice so I will definitely try this one too ❤️❤️❤️

    just made this recipe to go with dinner. so good, and easy to follow. i didn’t have light soy sauce so i just used regular. I just quickly measured in my head as well, instead of using measuring equipment. I only wish i made double to have more noodles. i also used a little less vegetables because my kids don’t enjoy a lot of veggies in their chow mein. thank you for sharing this recipe
