Ingredients

• 400 grams fresh Shanghai-style noodles (or thick wheat noodles)
• 200 grams pork loin or chicken breast, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, finely grated
• 3 stalks green onions, julienned
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 200 grams baby bok choy or Napa cabbage, chopped
• 1 pinch white pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cook the Shanghai-style noodles according to the package instructions until just al dente. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and white pepper. Stir well to create the sauce mixture and set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, marinate the sliced pork or chicken with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and cornstarch. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork or chicken and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the wok and set aside.

Step 5

Add another tablespoon of oil to the wok. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the julienned carrots and chopped baby bok choy or Napa cabbage to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Push the vegetables to one side of the wok. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil, then toss in the cooked noodles, stirring to heat and combine with the vegetables.

Step 8

Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the noodles. Toss everything together to ensure even coating of the sauce.

Step 9

Add the cooked pork or chicken back to the wok along with the julienned green onions. Stir-fry for 1-2 more minutes until the ingredients are well combined and heated through.

Step 10

Transfer the noodles to a serving dish and serve hot. Enjoy your Shanghai Fried Noodles with Pork or Chicken!
