I have no idea what should go in chow mein so im guessing
this is as about as authentic as one of those dvd's you
seen on car boot stalls, but it tasted good and went down
a treat.
It serves two or three and takes no time at all, you can
add chicken or some other meat if you like but I quite
like it with just bacon.
Heat a wok or heavy based frying pan up so it's really
hot, add a splash of olive oil and fry the bacon until
nice and crispy, remove from the pan and place on some
kitchen towel to drain.
Cook the noodles as per the instructions and drain.
Get the pan really hot again and fry the onions,
mushrooms, peppers and carrots, after about 60 seconds
add the 5 spice powder, chile, garlic and ginger and mix
into the vegetables, fry until the veg are cooked.
Add the bacon to the pan followed sherry, careful in
case it flames up, cook the alcohol off for a minute or
so then add the soy sauce.
Add the noodles and stir well.
Taste and then add the black pepper along with any extra
soy sauce or sherry your feel necessary.
Serve.
Serves two generously
