Chicken Chow Foon (more Chinese Noodles)
about 7 oz of wide rice noodles (1/2 of a 375g package)
2 Tbsp of Chinese Garlic Marinade (see ingredients at bottom of page) (or black bean sauce)
1 tsp of XO sauce (or maybe use oyster sauce) (see ingredients at bottom of page)
1 or 2 cups of shredded napa cabbage
2 large handfuls of shredded already-roasted chicken (used leftovers)
1 cup chicken stock or broth
1 Tbsp corn starch
some water
some canola oil
- Soak noodles in hot water for 5-7 minutes until softened.
- Make a corn starch slurry by mixing 1 Tbsp of corn starch with 1 ounce of water (a shot glass's worth of water). Mix it up and it'll be a cloudy white suspension. Set aside. You'll use this later to thicken the sauce.
- Heat 1 Tbsp of canola oil and then fry the noodles until they're hot. Easiest to use a non-stick pan since even with the oil, I've had problems keeping these noodles from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Once hot, set noodles aside.
- Pour about 1 cup chicken broth into the pan. Mix in about 2 Tbsp of the Chinese marinade (or black bean sauce if you have that) and 1 teaspoon of the XO stuff. Bring to a boil.
- Toss in the shredded cabbage
- Toss in the shredded chicken.
- When heated through, stir up the corn starch slurry once more just before adding it to the pan.
- The sauce will then thicken as the corn starch mixture heats up.
- Once the sauce thickens, add back the noodles and mix everything up.
- Serve right away.
