In this article, I am going to describe how to cook shrimp, chicken, and beef Chinese noodles. When you are cooking Chinese noodles by yourself instead of buying it from a fast food place, it is healthier (no msg) for you and your family.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 1/2 lb Chinese noodles
  • 5 shrimps
  • 1/4 lb beef
  • 1/4 lb chicken breast
  • 1/8 lb bean sprouts
  • 1/8 lb cabbage
  • a little bit of sliced onions
  • salt
  • chicken stock
  • soy sauce
  • corn oil
  • pepper
  • cooking pot
  • wok
  1. Step 1

    Heat up water in a cooking pot. After water boils, add noodles and cook it until the white center just disappears. Add a very small amount of oil (to prevent the noodle from sticking), mix well and set aside for later.

  2. Step 2

    Cut the chicken breast into small cubes. And cut the beef into small thin slices. Put shrimp, chicken cubes and beef slices into one bowl. And add a little bit of starch, mix well using your clean hand.

  3. Step 3

    Add small amount of corn oil in a clean wok, and turn on the heat. Wait until the oil is about ~170 F, add what's in the bowl from step 2. Cook it in the wok for 2-3 minutes, everything should be fully cooked. Get it out of wok and set it aside for later.

  4. Step 4

    Add sliced onions into the same wok, cook it for 1 minute and add your cabbage. Cook for another minute, and add your cooked noodles from step 1 into the wok.

  5. Step 5

    Add salt, soy sauce, chicken stock to the wok. Mix well.

  6. Step 6

    Add the cooked chicken, beef and shrimp into the wok and cook for another minute.

  7. Step 7

    Add the bean sprouts to the wok and cook for 30 seconds. Turn off the heat and place the cooked noodles into a plate. The noodles have a very inviting aroma; it has the smell of seafood and meat at the same time.

Tips & Warnings
  • don't add too much soy sauce. If you add too much soy sauce, everything will look too dark.
