Panda Express Chow Mein, again

So, I'm going to try a new variation on the panda express chow mein recipe. Hopefully this one is much better. I'm going to try a few things too. We'll see!

1 T vegetable oil
1/4 c white onion, sliced thin
1/4 c Napa cabbage, sliced thin
1/4 c celery, chopped
1/8 c bean sprouts
2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper flakes
4 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
2 T vegetable oil
1/4 c soy sauce
2 T water
1 T dark sesame oil
1 package Mie Noodles (Chinese style) boiled according to package directions

Place 1 T vegetable oil in wok or non-stick skillet and heat to 375 degrees. Stir fry onion, cabbage, celery, bean sprouts, ginger, pepper flakes and garlic until cabbage is wilted and garlic is fragrant (1-2 minutes). Stir in soy sauce and water. Add cooked, drained pasta and stir fry for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and toss with sesame oil. Serve immediately.

  1. This one was a lot better. We used this firey sesame oil rather than the regular sesame oil. We also used half a yellow onion and some green onions. I also cut up two chicken breasts and fried them in the firey sesame oil with salt and pepper and set them off to the side then made everything in the same pan so it all got that chickeny goodness and served the chicken w/ the noodles. yummy.
