Chow Mein

Pan seared egg noodles

Packaged egg noodles

Voila! Beef chow mein

This is one of my favorite noodle dishes in Cantonese cuisine. You can combine several food groups for a balanced and delicious meal. Leftover chow mein is especially tasty because the egg noodle (you can also get egg-less chow mein noodle) has absorbed some of the sauce and left to merry with the other ingredients. I can eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a late night snack.

Here I have thinly sliced beef, tomatoes, bok choy, and sliced red onion with the egg noodles. Cook the ingredients separately in a wok, then combine altogether with a brown sauce to finish.
