My Mushroom Chow Mein as my take on the takeaway legend and being ready in 20 minutes means it is much quicker than delivery.

Ingredients

150g (5oz packet) Dried Egg Noodles

250g (2-3 Cups) Mixed Mushrooms

2 Garlic Cloves

30g (Thumb sized piece) Ginger

50g (~⅓ Cup) Carrot

100g (~⅔ Cup) Onion

2 Spring Onions

1 Tbsp Cornflour (Corn Starch)

3 Tbsp Light Soy Sauce

2 Tbsp Rice Wine

1 Tbsp Hoisin Sauce

1 Tsp Sugar

1 Tsp Sesame Oil

1 Tbsp Cooking Oil

75g (~½ Cup) Sliced Bamboo Shoots

Method

Cook the egg noodles as per the instructions on the packet, then refresh in cold water and set aside.

Chop the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces

Slice the garlic cloves as finely as possible.

Peel and cut the ginger into matchstick-sized sticks.

Cut the carrot into thin 3-4cm (1½-1¾") long and 2-3mm (⅛") in profile.

Top and tail the onion, then peel it and cut it into 8 wedges before breaking it into individual "petals".

Cut the white part of the spring onions into 1.5cm (½") lengths and finely slice the green parts into 2-3mm (⅛") thick rings.

Mix together the cornflour, soy sauce, rice wine, hoisin sauce, sugar, and sesame oil and set aside.

Heat a wok over high heat until it begins to shimmer, then add the oil.

Throw in the garlic and ginger, white parts of the spring onion, sliced onion, and carrot, then stir fry for 1-2 minutes keeping the ingredients moving all of the time.

Throw in the mushrooms and continue to stir fry for another 2-3 minutes.

Now add in the bamboo shoots and noodles and toss to combine.

Finally, add the sauce and cook for 30 seconds before tossing through the green parts of the spring onions.
