Chow Mein Noodles

Chow Mein Noodles

I love to have a side dish in my back pocket that is delicious and incredibly fast. These chow mein noodles are just that...super fast. They take no time at all to prepare and are great with Asian dishes or as a bed for stir-fry. I love them with Chicken Satays with Peanut Sauce; the flavor profile is perfect.

Serves 4-6

1 pkg steam fried noodles
4 green onions, chopped
2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp kecap manis
1 tsp curry powder

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place steam fried noodles in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Drain well.

In a large frying pan or wok, heat up a tbsp of oil over high medium-high heat. Add the green onions to the pan, reserving about a tbsp for garnish. Saute for a minute or two then add the garlic and ginger. Saute for about 1 minute; you should start to smell the garlic and ginger fragrance. Add the noodles, kecap manis and curry powder and toss well to coat. Fry for about 3-5 minutes or until the noodles are warmed through and just slightly starting to turn brown in spots.
