Stir fried n00dles with chicken
well, i have also been a gr8 lover of chinese cuisine. chinese food is something, probably every one is addicted to. it comes under the oriental cuisine. chinese cuisine has certainflavours, ingrediants which impart a different flavour to the dish. like seasme oil, is one of those important oils which is used for flavouring. even i like the oil so much. i was not well at all. but still, had a few guests. had a couple of ingrediants stocked up in freezer, with which i made this. trust me it was an instant heat.
INGREDIANTS:
for chicken marinade:
chicken 2breasts (*cut into 1/2" pieces)
red chillies 1tbsp
seasme oil: 1tbsp
oyester sauce: 1tbsp
soya sauce: 1tbsp
black pepper: 1tbsp
salt to taste
sugar 1tsp
vegetable oil 3 tbsp

noodles 200gm
vegetable oil 3tbsp
fresh basil 2-4 leaves
star anise powder 1tsp
black pepper powder 1tsp
bok-choy 6-8 fresh leaves

garlic 1tsp
ginger 1/2tsp
spring onion: 4nos(finely sliced)
salt to taste
red chillies 2nos(finely chopped)
sugar: 1tsp
METHODS:
1. Marinate the chicken with 1 tsp soya sauce, oyster sauce, salt, pepper, 1 tsp sugar and 1 tsp sesame oil for 25-30 min.
2. boil the noodles in hot salty water for 5mins. be cautious, not to overcook it.
3. after the chicken has been marinated, for 30 mins, saute them in oil. add pepper, salt and some brown sugar and some chopped red chilli. cook for 5mins on slow fire.
4. in the meantime, u can prepare szechuan sauce. or else u can also buy the one available at market.
5. Heat oil in a wok, add red bell pepper,bit of garlic & ginger and spring onion and stir fry quickly on a high flame.
6. Add Szechwan sauce and toss well.
7. now add the noodles and mix well. slow the fire and cook for 1 minute.
8. then add the sauted chicken.
9. add seasoning, star anise powder, bok-choy, chopped red chillies and basil leaves.
10. mix well. and serve hot.
as always i had customized it. and here is te one which i had followed. always try to tear the leaves with hand instead of chopping it with knife. because that gives a better flavour. have it hot. and u will see that in no time, the entire noodles diasppear. roll noodles with fork and then place in a bowl. well, i had served in a plate. u can serve in a bowl. and for people who havent got szechuan sauce, u can make it a home, like i had. and everything worked. yummy chinese in some time.............
trust me it will work.u will luv it. and u are bound to get kudos!!!!!!!!
