Barbecued Pork Chow Mein

To prepare your mise en place, first prepare the sauce by combining the soy sauce, oyster sauce and salt in a bowl. Set aside.

Next, smash the ginger slices with your knife and mince the garlic. Slice the green onions in half vertically and then into 2" -inch pieces. Wash and spin dry the bean sprouts. Measure out the Shao Hsing rice wine into a small container. Cut the pork into matchstick pieces and set everything aside.

To cook the noodles, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles. Once boiling, cook for approximately 3 minutes (or according to the directions on the package) or until the noodles are almost entirely cooked through. Once done, drain the noodles into a colander and rinse with cold water. Drain well to remove the excess water. Place the oil into the pot and add the noodles. Toss to coat with the oil.

To stir-fry the dish, line the ingredients up in the proper cooking order. Heat a wok over high heat. Once hot, add the oil, followed by the ginger, garlic and pork. Stir-fry for a minute or so to heat the pork through, being careful not to burn the aromatics.

Next, add the bean sprouts and Shao Hsing rice wine. Toss and stir-fry for about 30 seconds or until the bean sprouts just begin to soften. Add the sauce, noodles and green onions. Stir-fry for another 1 to 2 minutes until the noodles and ingredients are completely heated through and evenly coated with the sauce. Serve immediately.
