1 egg

Prepare a pot into which we put the cabbage leaves, line the bottom of the pot with leaves that are damaged or washed and used cabbage leaves from the top. At each leaf we put the stuffing prepared according to the following way (the amount depends on the size of stuffing leaf):

Chicken Chow Mein served with Egg Noodles - Kurczak Chow Main z makaronem

This dish is prepared by Stir - Fry, indicating a very quick frying in very high temperature, with very little fat.  The best vessel to comply with this dish is wok, which I strongly recommend to buy, because it can then be used to create other dishes. Wok evenly distributes heat very quickly. Most Chinese dishes prepared using the wok on the kitchen gas. Recipe from Ching He Huang.

Ingredients for 5 servings:

1 red pepper

3 medium-size breast of chicken

6 mushrooms

150 g egg noodles

1 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce

2 tbsp dark soy sauce to marinade chicken and 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce at the end of frying

1 spring onion

2 large cloves garlic (finely chopped)

4 tablespoons corn flour

150 g of bean sprouts

Soy bean oil is best, but you can also use our vegetable oil

freshly ground pepper

All the ingredients prepared in advance, before frying food.  Boil water in medium pot. Cook pasta up to 3 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Pour a spoon of oil and mix, which will prevent the pasta from sticking together.

Cut chicken breasts into thin strips, marinated with two tablespoons of dark soy sauce and sweet chilli sauce spoon, lightly sprinkle each strip of corn flour. Wash the peppers and cut into thin strips. Wash mushrooms, cut into slices. Wash sping onion and cut into long big pieces. Rinse sprouts under cold water.

The general rule of cooking stir fry is quick frying meat first, then separately vegetables from the heaviest to the lightest. I prefer roasting each ingredient separately, using the same wok every time, without washing it after every ingredient. Wok only must every time very well warmed up and poured 2 tablespoons of oil. Lighter ingredients such as sprouts and chives, don't need fry before.

Prepare a wok, pour the hot walls of the wok with two tablespoons of oil.  Before you start frying wok must be very well heated, the oil should be burn.

Start from the chicken, throw it in hot wok and fry for 3 minutes, stirring until golden. Then Put into a bowl, heat the wok again use 2 tablespoons oil and fry mushrooms, about 2 minutes. So do the same with peppers.

Heat a wok again, 2 tablespoons of oil fry chopped garlic for a few seconds then add pasta, stir-fry a minute, then add pre-fried mushrooms, peppers and chicken, stirring continuously.

Then add the sprouts, chopped chives, 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce (can add a little more if someone likes a more salty foods) and fresh coarsely ground pepper. Mix, leave the fire. Best Serve at once.

In the preparation of meals, Sir, you can use different types of meat or vegetables (peas, carrots, onions, broccoli, etc.).
