Chow Mein: Thai Style

We had the after gymnastics bath, dinner, shower, bed crunch last night. So I made thai style chow mein. Most of the work is in the prep. I'd say it is about 15 minutes of cutting and about 10 minutes of cooking.

I dice everything up ahead of time.
garlic and oil
1 boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced
1/4 of a medium size onion, sliced
1 carrot, sliced
3 green onions, 1 1/2 inch pieces
2 cups of bean sprouts
2 packages of ramen
2 tablespoons of oyster sauce
1 tablespoon of light soy sauce
1 tsp black pepper

• Cook Ramen (I put the noodles in a large bowl of water and put it in the microwave for 3 minutes, then drain) set aside


• In a small dish mix oyster sauce, soy and black pepper.


• Warm oil in a LARGE skillet, I mean family super size!


• Add diced garlic to hot oil, I use a bit more than a tablespoon.


• When garlic turns brown add chicken and cook.


• When chicken is almost finished add the sauce and stir until the chicken is coated


• Add ramen noodles to chicken sauce mixture and cook/stir until noodles are coated
  


• Add vegetables, cook for a few more minutes until veggies are heated. Vegetables should be warm but still crisp.


• Remove from heat and serve

• Make regular Ramen for picky kids. The rest of us enjoy this goodness.
