Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons dry sherry wine
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ½ pound fresh Shiitake mushrooms de-stemed and sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 inch piece ginger minced
  • 12 ounces broccoli rabe chopped
  • 12 ounces fresh Chow Mein Noodles Hong Kong-Style Noodles
  • 5 tablespoons peanuts
  • 1 bunch chives
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prep the Ingredients

  • Peel & mince the garlic and ginger.
  • Roughly chop the broccoli rabe and peanuts.
  • De-stem the mushrooms and thinly slice the caps
    (Discard the stems or save them for stock)
  • Slice the chives on a bias into ½ inch pieces

Make the Sauce

  • Combine the sherry and water with the corn starch in a small bowl using a small whisk (fork will do too)
  • Add half the soy sauce, taste and adjust flavor by adding more soy sauce if needed.

Make the Stir Fry

  • Heat a stir fry pan or large nonstick fry pan over medium hot. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan and when hot, add the mushrooms.
    Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until browned and start to soften.
  • Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the broccoli rabe and continue stir frying for 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer the stir fried veggies to a plate and reserve.
  • In the same pan, add the other tablespoon of oil and spread it around the bottom of the pan.
  • Separate the noodles with your hands and spread them out in the pan to make a single layer.
    Cook the noodles using a pair of kitchen tongs to turn them over, keep them separated and coat them with the oil. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes until crispy and browned.
  • Add the sauce you just made to the noodles and carefully combine the noodles with the sauce with the tongs.
  • Add the reserved vegetables to the pan and then half the peanuts and chives.
    Again, using your kitchen tongs, mix everything together until it is well combined and heated through.
  • Remove from heat, taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.
  • Plate the stir fry and top with the remaining chives and peanuts as a garnish.
