Photo: Benoît Levac
No need to travel to China for some great Shanghai Noodles. Try this quick and easy recipe.
Bonnie says: To turn this into a stir-fry, omit the first two ingredients and reduce chicken stock to ½ cup (125 mL). Serve over steamed rice. If you like things spicy, add ½ tsp (2 mL) hot Asian chili sauce. To prepare Chinese egg noodles, follow directions on the package.

Ingredients
¾ lb (375 g) round Chinese noodles, cooked (about 4 cups/1 L cooked)
1 tbsp (15 mL) dark sesame oil
2 tbsp (25 mL) vegetable oil
¾ lb (375 g) boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
¼ lb (125 g) fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems discarded, thinly sliced
2 carrots, thinly sliced on the diagonal
3/4 lb (375 g) broccoli, trimmed, broken into florets and stems sliced
1½ cups (375 mL) chicken stock, vegetable stock or water
¼ cup (50 mL) oyster sauce
2 tbsp (25 mL) soy sauce
2 tbsp (25 mL) cold water
1 tbsp (15 mL) cornstarch
2 green onions, sliced on the diagonal
Directions
- Rinse cooked noodles with cold water and toss with sesame oil. Set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large nonstick skillet. Add chicken and garlic to pan. Cook a few minutes, until chicken loses its raw appearance. Remove from pan and reserve. Clean pan if needed, then add 1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil.
- Add mushrooms and carrots to pan. Cook for 2 minutes. Add broccoli and cook for a few minutes, until it turns bright green. Add stock, oyster sauce and soy sauce. Bring to a boil.
- Add noodles and chicken. Cook over low heat for about 3 minutes, tossing gently until noodles have absorbed the liquid and everything is very hot. To thicken sauce, combine water with cornstarch, then add to noodles. Cook until thick. Toss in green onions.
