Follow The Directions

01

Step
10 mins

Prepare: Finely chop the onion, slice the celery, and grate the ginger. Have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Sizzle: Heat the canola oil and sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering. (2 minutes)

03

Step
1 mins

Aromatics: Add the chopped onion, celery, and ginger to the wok. Stir-fry for 1 minute, until fragrant and slightly softened.

04

Step
2 mins

Vegetables: Toss in the coleslaw mix and bean sprouts. Stir-fry constantly for 2 minutes, ensuring the vegetables remain crisp-tender.

05

Step
1 mins

Noodles: Introduce the pre-cooked stir-fry noodles to the wok. Stir-fry for 1 minute, incorporating them with the vegetables.

06

Step
2 mins

Sauce: Pour in the tamari and mirin (or sherry). Stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to coat the noodles evenly and create a savory glaze.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of rice vinegar or a dash of white pepper to the sauce.
If you prefer a richer flavor, use dark sesame oil instead of regular sesame oil.
This dish is best served immediately. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat gently before serving.
Protein Power: Elevate your chow mein into a complete meal by adding grilled chicken, shrimp, tofu, or sliced steak.
