Dad's Chicken Chow Mein and Stir Fry

Image
One of my favorite dishes my Dad makes is his chicken chow mein stir fry.  We serve it at every party and it's a hit.  It's one of those dishes that I can't get enough of, filling my belly beyond its capacity.  I've made it a few times before and each time was just not as good as Dad's, but this time, I did it right.  I think it was the result of putting the right ingredients together.  Prep and cook time was about an hour and a half.  Well worth it! *UPDATE* - A friend of mine, Katherine did this recipe and sent me a picture.  It looked amazing and she reported that it turned out delicious.  She substituted the Chinese broccoli for broccolini, which can be found at any grocery store.   Ingredients: 1 package of egg noodles (pictured right...you can pick any brand) 1 can of bamboo shoot (pictured right) - slice the bamboo into 1 inch pieces 1 small onion diced 2 bunches of Chinese Brocoli (gai lan) - leaves chopped into 1 inch pieces, and stems sliced thin 3
