Mains Noodles

Rice Pin Noodles

You can stir-fry celery, carrots, ginger, and onions to get a really traditional Chinese flavor profile. This combo is used in pretty much every chow mein you buy at a Chinese deli. I would love grabbing a to-go box of chow mein for a quick snack, but unfortunately, they all have some type of chicken or pork in it. That’s tragic because these to-go meals were so cheap to grab ($3) in San Francisco, Chinatown. So now I’ve improved the dish to include fresh shiitake mushrooms to give an even better spin on a classic dish. I guess it’s not so bad that I can no longer frequent the Chinatown to-go spots. After all, who knows how long those noodles have been sitting there anyway.

I stir fried some rice pin noodles which can easily be coated with flavor and holds texture really well. You can basically do anything with these types of noodles and when I serve them to guest, they love ’em.
