Char Siu Chow Mein
Char Siu Chow Mein (also known as Roast Pork Chow Mein) is a local favorite found at many restaurants in Hawaii. Fresh chow mein noodles, good char siu, and lots of veggies, so good! You can also make it at home. Great for family dinners and potlucks, everyone loves this ^_^

Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 pound chow mein noodles
- ½ pound char siu
- ½ whole onion thinly sliced
- ½ head small cabbage thinly sliced
- 1 bag bean sprouts about 10 ounces
- 1 bunch green onions chopped into 1-inch pieces
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
- 1 teaspoon white pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together all the sauce ingredients (oyster sauce, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, chicken bouillon powder, and white pepper). Add a spoonful of water to help loosen the sauce and make it easier to mix. Set aside.
- Thinly slice the char siu and set aside.
- In a large pan over medium-high heat, add the sliced onions. Stir fry until lightly browned. Then add the white parts of the green onions and cook for 1 more minute.
- Next add the sliced cabbage and stir fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened. Add the bean sprouts and cook for 1 more minute.
- Slide all the vegetables onto a plate and set aside.
- In the same large pan over medium-high heat, add some more oil. Then add all the chow mein noodles followed by ¼ cup of water. Mix, mix, mix (I like to use cooking chopsticks for this) to cook the noodles for about 2 minutes. Let it get golden and crisp.
- Drizzle the sauce mixture (prepared in Step 1) over the noodles. Mix evenly.
- Then add all the vegetables back to the pan and mix evenly.
- Add the chopped char siu and the green parts of the green onions. Stir to mix. Then the dish is ready to serve! Eat and enjoy ^_^
