Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the chow mein noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 4-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, scallops, and squid. Stir-fry until the seafood is just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

In the same wok, add the remaining vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced onion, red bell pepper, carrot, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

Step 6

Return the cooked seafood to the wok. Add the cooked noodles, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and chicken stock. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 7

Pour in the cornstarch slurry and stir quickly as the sauce thickens. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until everything is well coated.

Step 8

Serve immediately while hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or sliced green onions if desired.
