Chow Mein ~ wet style

I grew up eating different kinds of chow mein (fried noodles), be it quick style (like Kon Lor Mee), or dried style (like fried mihun), or this wet style that I'm going to present you.

On some days, I like my noodles wet with gravvy, especially on days that are cold & rainy, a bowl of noodles with hot gravvy just make me feel so much warmer.

The ingredients you'll need : white pepper, soy sauce, sesame oil, Shaoxin wine, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, dried shrimps, big prawns, noodles, eggs, minced meat, garlic, onion, carrots, sio pak choy, & sugar.

Marinate the minced meat for at least 15 minutes.

Cook the prawns until they turned pink, & cooked, drain, set aside.

Stir-fry the onion & carrots under medium to low heat, for about 3 minutes.

Turn to low heat, add in garlic & dried shrimp, saute until aromatic but not browned.

Add in the minced meat & stir-fry until it's cooked.

Pour the beaten egg into the wok, scramble it & mix well with the rest of the ingredients that are already in the wok.

Mix well.

Add the noodles & seasoning into the wok, bring to the boil.

Turn to low heat, return the prawns & add the sio pak choy into the wok.

Simmer for about 5-10 minutes (depending how wet you like it to be).

Dish up & serve.

You may garnish with some scallions too.

Enjoy!!
