Panda Express Chow Mein


Panda Express Chow Mein this is a copy cat recipe from Recipe Zarr.
30min/20min prep
It says that it serves one it served way more than that.
Ingredients;
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 scallions, trimmed, and cut corsswise into 1/2 inch thick pieces
1-1/2 cups sliced napa cabbage
1/4 cup celery
1/4 cup bean sprouts
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon oriental sesame oil
1/2 tablespoon cornstarch, dissolved in 1 tablespoon of water
red pepper flakes, to taste
1/4 lb. vermicelli, cooked

1. In a large heavy skillet heat the vegetable oil until it is hot but not smoking and in it stir-fry the scallions, cabbage, celery and bean sprouts for about 3 minutes, or until the cabbage is wilted.
2. Add the sugar, broth, soy sauce, and the sesame oil and simmer the mixture, stir it into the vegetable mixture, and bring the liquid to a boil.
3. Stir the cornstarch mixture, stir it into the vegetable mixture, and bring the liquid to a boil.
4. Season to taste with red pepper flakes. Simmer until heated through and serve over noodles. Now I added my cooked, drained, noodles to it and mix them while on the heat. It turned out just fine.
The family liked it. I did add more soy sauce and peppers than what was called for.


So next time you are hungry for Chinese food try making it at home and have fun with it.
