Ingredients

450 G Egg Chow Mein Noodles
1 onion thinly sliced
2 slices Ginger
1.5 tbsp Garlic minced
9 oz Mushroom of your choice

Sauce

2 cups Vegetable stock or mushroom stock
2.5 tbsp Vegetarian Oyster Sauce
1 tbsp Sugar
0.5 tbsp White Pepper
2 tbsp Sesame Oil
1.5 tbsp Cornstarch
1 tbsp Water

Instructions

Prepare the noodles based on instruction: blanch the noodles for 30 seconds and drain.
Add around 1 inch of oil to a pan and turn the heat to medium-high. Add in the noodles, spread them, fill the pan, and press down to mold the noodle.
Pan-fry the noodle for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until crispy and golden brown.
Optional, drizzle 1 tbsp of oil around the edges of the noodle to crisp up the edges.
Prepare the sauce by mixing vegetable stock, vegetarian oyster sauce, sugar, white pepper, and sesame oil. In a separate bowl, combine corn starch and cold water.
Drizzle oil and turn the heat to medium in a separate pan. Add in sliced onion and ginger and saute together for 2-3 minutes.
Next, add the mushroom and minced garlic, and saute for another 2-3 minutes.
Drizzle in the sauce and simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Finally, add in corn starch mixture and simmer for another 1 minute.
To assemble, start with crispy noodles, pour on the sauce, and garnish with green onion. Enjoy!
