I’m normally in a hurry to get things from the Asian store and then hurry out to run more errands. So last week when I found I had a little more time than usual to spend at the Asian store, I decided to slowly look  through what they had at the noodle section.  I wasn’t looking for anything in particular so it was a nice surprise to find the narrow type of Kway Teow noodles. I also found Chow Funn noodles. Wanting to break the monotony of eating rice for quite a few days now, I decided to try out these noodles. What was even better was that the back of the package had a recipe. What can I say but it turned out quite nice. However, the next time I cook this dish, I’ll remember to throw in some fresh prawns! I’m sure it’ll taste even better!!

Ingredients:
Chicken marinate -
300g minced chicken
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced

Sauce -
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
4 tsp cornstarch
1/3 cup water

1 package (20oz) Chow Funn Noodles
10 fishballs - halved
1 tbsp vegetable oil
3 green onions - cut into 1 inch strips
2 carrots - julienned
2 cups shredded cabbage
1 tsp sesame oil

Method:

1. Mix the chicken with the soy sauce and garlic. Let it stand for 20 minutes.
2. Combine the ingredients for the sauce and stir until the cornstarch dissolves completely.
3. Cook noodle according to package instructions.
4. In a pan, on high heat coat the base of the pan with vegetable oil.
5. Add the minced chicken and fry till it turns light brown. This will take about 2-3 minutes.
6. Add the vegetable and fishballs. Stir-fry until the fishball is cooked.
7. Add the sauce and the cooked noodles. Stir to mix all the ingredients completely.
8. Stir constantly until the sauce boils and thickens.
9. Turn off the fire. Drizzle the sesame oil over the noodles. Stir.
10. Serve hot.
