Soy Sauce Chow Shrimp Egg Noodles Food

SHRIMP CHOW MEIN CANTONESE STYLE

Steps:

• To prepare the shrimp chow mein sauce, mix all the soy sauces, sugar, and water in a bowl until it dissolves. Chop the onions and scallions into small pieces. Soak the bean sprouts in a bowl of water to keep them fresh.
• Heat up the wok or pan to about 200 degrees Celsius (or around 350 - 400 Fahrenheit). Slowly add about 1 tablespoon of corn oil and increase the heat gradually. Stir-fry the chopped onions and scallions until they start to brown slightly. Set them aside for use later. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of corn oil before adding in the noodles. Flip them to the other side after cooking for 3 minutes. Let the other side cook for another 1 or 2 minutes.
• Push the pan fried crispy noodles aside within the wok. Then, pour the bean sprouts together with the shrimps into the wok. First, cook the ingredients under high heat for about 1 minute. Then, place the ingredients underneath the noodles and let them cook under medium heat. This traps the heat to help the ingredients cook evenly and quickly. Once the shrimps are cooked, toss the stir-fried onions and scallions into the wok.
• After cooking for a few minutes, pour the sauce mix, slowly moving around the wok to ensure that all sides of the noodles get the flavour. Mix all the shrimp chow mein ingredients to let the sauce soak up before adding sesame oil.
• Once thoroughly mixed and cooked, separate the egg noodles into separate dishes. Pour any remaining sauce in the wok over the dry, crispy noodles to not waste them. Serve and enjoy them while they are hot!

CANTONESE SOY SAUCE PAN-FRIED NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Rinse the bean sprouts in cold water and drain. Julienne the scallions. Mix the soy sauces, sesame oil, salt, sugar, wine and white pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
• Boil the noodles. Fresh noodles should be boiled for about 1 minute. For dried noodles, boil for 2 minutes. Rinse in cold water and drain very well.
• Heat the wok over high heat and add a tablespoon of oil to coat the wok (you can also use a cast iron or non-stick pan for this). Spread the noodles in a thin, even layer on the wok and tilt the wok in a circular motion to distribute the oil and crisp the bottom layer of the noodles evenly. It should take about 5 minutes for the first side.
• Flip the noodles over. add another tablespoon of oil around the perimeter of the wok, and let the other side crisp up. Don't stress if you can't turn the noodles over in one shot. The goal here is just to get an even crispness and to dry out the noodles during this cooking stage. Set the noodles aside on a plate.
• Heat the wok over high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil and all of the white parts of the scallion to the pan. Cook for about 15 seconds. Next, add the noodles to the wok and toss them well, breaking up the noodles so they're not all in one big clump. Add the soy sauce mixture and toss continuously for a couple minutes. Keep the heat on high.
• After the noodles are uniformly golden brown, add the bean sprouts and toss. Add the rest of the scallions and toss the mixture again for another 1 to 2 minutes until you see the bean sprouts just starting to turn transparent. You want the sprouts to be cooked but still crunchy.
• Plate and serve!

HONG KONG-STYLE SOY SAUCE NOODLES

Steps:

• Combine the Fresno chile, dried chiles, garlic and ginger in a small bowl. Reserve.
• Combine the sesame oil, sugar, soy sauce and sake in a small bowl for the liquid seasonings. Reserve.
• Separate the noodles with your fingers so they no longer stick together.
• Preheat a wok over high heat until hot. Add the 3 tablespoons peanut oil and swirl to coat. When the oil is hot, add the noodles-they should brown immediately. Toss several times.
• Add 1 teaspoon of peanut oil if the wok is too dry, then add the chiles, garlic and ginger. Toss and cook for a few seconds, then add the chives. Cook, tossing with chopsticks or tongs, for 45 seconds.
• Add 1/4 cup of water, which will steam the noodles, and cook for a few seconds. Add the bowl of liquid seasonings and bean sprouts. Cook, tossing, until the noodles are cooked through, about 10 seconds. Serve immediately.
