Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Shanghai Stir-Fried Noodles.
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once it’s bubbling, gently add the fresh Chinese egg noodles.
Step 3
Stir them occasionally as they cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
Step 4
When they’re ready, drain the noodles and set them aside for later.
Step 5
Next, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and cold water.
Step 6
In another pot, bring some lightly salted water to a boil again.
Step 7
Toss in the bean sprouts and let them cook uncovered for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the stems turn translucent.
Step 8
Once they’re done, drain the sprouts and quickly plunge them into the ice water to halt the cooking process.
Step 9
After a few minutes, drain them again and set aside.
Step 10
Now, let’s heat things up! Pour some canola oil into a wok and warm it over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer.
Step 11
If you’re using chicken, add the strips along with celery, green onions, garlic, and a splash of XO sauce.
Step 12
Stir-fry everything together for about 2 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and fragrant.
Step 13
Next, introduce the oyster mushrooms to the mix.
Step 14
Sauté them for about 3 to 4 minutes until they’re slightly browned and tender.
Step 15
This is where the magic happens! Stir in the cooked noodles, bean sprouts, mushroom-infused soy sauce, oyster sauce, and a sprinkle of brown sugar.
Step 16
Cook this delightful combination for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure everything is well-coated and heated through.
Step 17
Finally, pour in the chicken stock, reduce the heat to low, and cover the wok.
Step 18
Let it simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until the noodles are tender yet still have a nice bite to them.
Step 19
This dish is not just a meal; it’s a celebration of flavors and textures that will surely impress your family and friends.
Step 20
Enjoy your delicious creation!.
