All recipes posted here are a composite of random recipes found online, in various cookbooks, taken from family, friends, neighbors and dishes/creations I have tried and/or made myself.

Food for thought?!




INGREDIENTS


16 oz of any meat you wish. I used sausage but Chicken or Beef is just as good
about 1TPSP of Fresh minced Ginger
About 2 TBSP powdered Ginger
Salt and Pepper to taste
1/4 Cup Oyster Sauce ( remember this is super salty)
1/4 Cup Sweet Chili Sauce
Chow Mein Noodles or Udon or regular (but thick) Pasta (However much you want)
1 good sized branch of Bok Choy (shred or cut into smaller pieces)
1 head of Broccoli (cut into bite sized pieces)
1 large White or Yellow Onion ( Peal and cut/mince as desired)
1 can of Bamboo Shoots, Water Chestnuts and/or Shitaki Mushrooms ( Drain first)


Bring a large sized pot of water to a boil, adding the Vegetables, Spices, Oyster Sauce and Meat ( If you are cooking with Chicken, I would recommend making sure the pieces are cut up into smaller bite sized pieces and to start cooking them before you add all the other ingredients). Cook on Medium-High until Vegetables and Meat are just about finished. Add Chow Mein Noodles towards the end and cook for an additional 5 minutes, checking to make sure the noodles do not get mushy. Turn heat off, add a cup of cold water and let stand for roughly 2 or 3 minutes as Chow Mein Noodles will thicken as a result. Drain away most of the liquid, but keep about 10% of it to use a partial sauce. Top dish with Sweet or Hot Chili Sauce and serve with anything else you might wish to. Can feed at least 4 people and takes less than 15 minutes to make-ENJOY!
