INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • In a large bowl, marinate sliced chicken with the marinade ingredients. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine cornstarch slurry ingredients and set aside. Note: You'll need to re-mix this again before simmering it later.
  • Then in large wok or large pan filled with water set over high heat, bring to a boil. Blanch chow mein noodles just until loosened for 30 seconds. Strain immediately. Do not rinse off with cold water.
  • Heat ¼ cup vegetable oil in a large pan on medium heat. Carefully lower strained egg noodles into the pan and spread them apart into a pancake shape. Fry until golden crispy brown. Then flip over and add the remaining ¼ cup vegetable oil. Once that side is brown and crispy, slice fried noodle pancake to a large serving plate.
  • On medium-high heat, add 1 teaspoon vegetable oil and fry marinated chicken until 75% cooked. Add shrimp and fry until mostly pink.
  • Toss in vegetables with 1 cup of chicken stock. Cook until cabbage is wilted and soft. There should be some liquid left which is normal.
  • Mix cornstarch slurry again and pour into pan. Stirring the sauce until it becomes a thick gravy.
  • Lastly pour everything over the crispy noodles and enjoy!
