List of Ingredients




5 Chinese dried black mushrooms
1/4 cup soy sauce, divided
2 teaspoons sugar, divided
1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic
4 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds, divided
1 whole chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
2 ounces cellophane or bean thread noodles
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 large onion, chopped
3 medium carrots, julienned
1 cup fresh mung bean sprouts
1/2 cup fresh spinach, cleaned and chopped
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

Recipe



1. In a small bowl, soak mushrooms in 1 cup hot water for 20 minutes or until soft. Drain well and chop, discarding stems.

2. In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar, garlic, 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds and chicken. Cover and refrigerate.

3. Place noodles in a large pot of boiling water. Stir until soft, about 1 minute. Remove and immediately drain into a colander while rinsing with cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain well. With clean kitchen scissors, cut noodles into 2-inch lengths. Place in a large bowl and set aside.

4. Place wok over high heat and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Heat for 1 minute. Add reserved chicken mixture and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until chicken is cooked and juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a sharp knife. Remove from pan and add to reserved noodles. Wash wok and dry thoroughly.

5. Return wok to high heat, add another tablespoon of oil to pan and heat for 1 minute. Add mushrooms and cook for 1 minute or until soft. Remove from pan and add to noodles.

6. Return wok to high heat, add another tablespoon of oil to pan and heat for 1 minute. Add onions and carrots and stir fry for 2-3 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove and add to noodle mixture. Return wok to heat and add bean sprouts and spinach. Stir fry for 1 minute and add to noodle mixture.

7. In a small bowl, combine remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar, sesame oil and 2 teaspoons sesame seeds. Add to noodle mixture and mix thoroughly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
