Chicken Lo-Mein

Chinese food lovers, this is a qucik-n-easy dish for you. its filling, tasty and can be made easily at home. i have used the pancit kanton noodles (a filippino take on chinese lo mein), but you an use any type of chinese egg noodle for this dish. also, the traditional lo-mein preparation calls for a sauce to poured over the stir fired ingredients towards the end of the cooking process... i have tried to simplify it, and made this my fast-track take on it...

Steps
- 1
Prepare the lo-mein noodles as per package directions. if using dried noodles (like i have used), cook it till al-dente as per the package directions, and drain. set aside.
- 2
While the noodles are cooking, you can prep the rest of the ingredients.
- 3
Cut up the thawed chicken tenderloin into bite size pieces. (i have used pre-grilled tenderloin here, so its already seasoned and half cooked).
- 4
Dice the shiitake mushrooms, bell pepper and baby corn. finely chop the ginger and garlic.
- 5
Slice the spring onions into fine rounds. also, slice the white part separately, and the stalks (green part) separately.
- 6
In a large wok, heat the oil. when the oil is hot, add the red chilli flakes.
- 7
After about 10 seconds, add the chopped ginger and garlic. stir till translucent.
- 8
Add the white part of the spring onions, and stir till translucent.
- 9
Next, add the chicken bouillon and the chopped shiitake mushroom, bell pepper and baby corn. stir well. cook covered on a low heat for about five minutes.
- 10
Add the chicken tenderloin and stir well. cook covered for about 5 minutes on a medium heat.
- 11
When the chicken and vegetables are cooked through, add the sugar and increase the heat to high. stir to coat, and alow to caramelize for about two minutes.
- 12
Next add the light soy, dark soy and oyster sauce. stir well.
- 13
Check for seasoning at this point. if u need more salt, add it at this stage (note: soy sauce most often will be salty enough).
- 14
Add the drained lo-mein noodles and toss well, making sure the sauce and meat-n-veggies are evenly distributed.
- 15
Lastly, add the sesame oil and stir gently.
- 16
Now add the spring onion greens (stalks) and toss around. cook for about a minute, just till the greens wilt.
