Pork Chow Mein
6oz medium egg noodles (I used flat rice noodles)
12oz pork fillet (I used a chop)
2 Tbs frying oil
1tsp sesame oil (I used hot sesame oil + regular sesame oil)
2 garlic cloves crushed
8 spring onions (I used a finely sliced leek)
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
2 Tbs dark soy sauce
3 Tbs dry sherry
6oz bean sprouts
3Tbs chopped flat leaf parsley
1Tbs toasted sesame seeds
1) cook noodles until almost done, drain and rinse cool
2) slice pork, cook in frying oil in high heat until cooked through
3) add sesame oil(s) with garlic, leek, and peppers. cook over high heat for 3 minutes, peppers should soften.
4) reduce heat and add noodles with soy sauce and sherry. stir-fry for 2 minutes
5) add beansprouts and continue to cook for 2 minutes. add water if noodles start to stick.
6) stir in the parsley and serve with toasted sesame seeds on top.
This is from a Thai & Southeast Asian cookbook I bought at Borders on clearance. It was delicious. I’m really glad I used spicy sesame sauce, it added the heat that I expect from any asian dish. And I probably wouldn’t use a pork chop in the future, it was a bit too tough. Maybe if I would have cut it properly, against the grain.
