Roast Pork Chow Mein is a savoury, soul-satisfying noodle dish that centres on the legendary Cantonese Char Siu (Barbecue Pork). It is a dish of high-contrast textures, where the sweet, smoky, and 'meaty' ribbons of pork are tossed into a tangle of wok-seared egg noodles.

Cooking Instructions

Preparation: 10 minutes
Cooking: 6 minutes

Servings: 1 to 2

Notes:

Pre-cooked Chinese roast pork (char siu) works best for authentic takeaway flavour.

Pre-cooked yellow egg noodles or chow mein noodles save time and toss easily in the wok.

Adjust salt and soy sauce quantities to taste depending on the saltiness of your roast pork.

Prepare Ingredients
Cut the spring onion into 2.5cm slices. Wash and drain the bean sprouts thoroughly. Slice the roast pork into thin strips.

Fry Noodles and Bean Sprouts
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat until hot. Add the drained bean sprouts and cooked egg noodles, stir-frying for 2 minutes.

Add Roast Pork
Toss the sliced roast pork strips into the wok with the noodles and bean sprouts, stir-frying continuously for another 2 minutes to heat the meat through.

Season the Chow Mein
Add the salt, sesame oil, and soy sauce to the pan. Stir-fry rapidly for 1 minute until every noodle strand is evenly coated and glistening.

Finish and Serve
Add the fresh spring onion slices to the wok and stir-fry for 30 seconds until slightly softened. Transfer to a bowl and serve immediately.
