I love this classic stir-fry noodle dish... toss in any variety of fresh vegetables and slices of leftover roast chicken or steak for a hearty one-dish meal.

INGREDIENTS

For the sauce:

2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
3 tablespoons water

For the chow mein:

1 tablespoon salt
1/2 pound fresh standard-sized egg noodles or 3 ounces dried egg noodles
5 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup thinly sliced yellow onion
1 cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
1 zucchini, cut into thin strips
1 cup thinly sliced fresh shiitake mushrooms
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced

DIRECTIONS

For the sauce:

In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients and set aside.

For the chow mein:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the salt. Boil the noodles for 2 minutes, drain, and rinse well with cold water. Place the noodles in a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of the oil.

Heat a large, nonstick pan until very hot. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and sauté the onion and red bell pepper until just tender, 2 minutes. Add the zucchini and mushrooms and continue to stir-fry until golden brown, 5 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl.

Reheat the same pan until very hot. Add the remaining oil and sauté the ginger and garlic for several seconds. Add the noodles and stir-fry until the noodles are heated through, 5 minutes. Return the vegetables to the pan with the noodles, add the sauce, and continue to toss the noodles until they are well combined and heated through. Transfer to a warmed platter and serve immediately.
