This House Special Chow Mein captures the bustling energy of a classic Chinese takeout window. Crispy fried noodles form the foundation for a medley of tender shrimp, succulent chicken, and sweet Chinese BBQ pork. The dish is brought together with a vibrant mix of fresh vegetables like bean sprouts, bok choy, and water chestnuts, all tossed in a savory, slightly sweet oyster sauce reduction. The texture is a delightful contrast between the crunch of the noodles and the softness of the cooked proteins. It’s a hearty, satisfying meal perfect for busy weeknights or feeding a crowd. While traditionally rich, the balance of fresh produce keeps it feeling light and energetic. Serve it piping hot directly from the wok for the best flavor experience.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Boil chow mein noodles according to package directions until al dente.
  2. Drain noodles thoroughly and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat.
  4. Add drained noodles to the hot oil and stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes until crisp and light brown.
  5. Remove browned noodles from the wok and set aside on a plate.
  6. Add the remaining vegetable oil and minced garlic to the wok, stirring briefly to release aroma.
  7. Add bean sprouts, bok choy, carrot, green pepper, celery, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and onion.
  8. Stir-fry vegetables over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
  9. Add shrimp, chopped chicken, and barbecued pork to the wok.
  10. Continue stir-frying for 2 to 3 minutes until shrimp are pink and chicken is heated through.
  11. Pour in chicken broth and cover the wok with a lid.
  12. Cook covered for 3 to 4 minutes to steam the ingredients and meld flavors.
  13. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with a few tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry.
  14. Stir in oyster sauce, sugar, MSG (if using), and salt to the cornstarch slurry.
  15. Return the fried noodles to the wok and pour the sauce mixture over everything.
  16. Toss everything together continuously for about 1 minute until the sauce thickens and coats the noodles evenly.
  17. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
