Chow Mein With Fried Pork Won Tons


This is not a good, clear picture of the chow mein but I have to tell you it is sooo good!!  And with the fried pork wontons on the side it just rounds out the yummy taste of this meal.  In Hawaii I used S & S saimin but of course over here I can't find it so I use the Shrimp Flavored Ramen instead.



Ingredients

1/4 lb pork, cut into strips
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp accent (optional)
1 Tbsp cornstarch
2 Tbsp salad oil
1 c carrots ( 1 medium)
1 c celery ( 1 stalk)
1 c green onion (2 stalks)
1 c green beans (6-8)
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp accent (optional)
4 c bean sprouts
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp accent (optional)
2 cubes soup base (or two packets from raimen noodles package)
1 1/2 c water
2 Tbsp cornstarch
7 oz dried saimin ( 1 package instant saimin) cooked as directed and drained


Directions

1
Marinate the pork, garlic salt,salt, accent and cornstarch.
2
Cut the veggies into thin strips and fry in hot wok or skillet.. When veggies (carrots, celery,green onion and green beans) are cooked to desired doneness, remove from skillet into a large mixing bowl.
3
Fry in same wok/skillet the bean sprouts, salt and accent
4
Combine beans sprouts with rest of veggies in the bowl and toss lightly to mix.
5
Make sauce:
2 cubes soup base or the 2 packets from Raimin noodles ( I use shrimp flavored ramin and the sauce packet that goes with it PLUS a chicken flavored packet for chicken flavored ramin here in the mainland since I can't find the Saimin I used in Hawaii here in Wa. add to it the water, and cornstarch.( you will only use the 2 packets from the ramen noodles and just ONE package of the noodles.. as the recipe calls for ONE 70z package of saimin or ramen if you are going to use ramen.
I use the shrimp and chicken flavored packets..
6
Fry marinated pork in hot wok/skillet with 2 Tablespoons oil. When pork is throughly cooked, add sauce to make gravy.
7
To serve:
Spread cooked saimin (or Ramen) on large platter.
Cover noodles with cooked veggies. Pour pork gravy over entire dish.. garnish with chinese parsley if desired
8
Serve with the pork filled fried won tons.
