West Indian Style Chow Mein



West Indian Style Chow Mein is a quick and tasty side dish to accompany a large variety of mains.














Boil the noodles for 2 mins until they soften. Do not over boil as they will be mushy, you still want them firm. Place in a colander and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking.













Julienne your red peppers, onions, and carrots. Chop your green onions.














Season the meat (I prefer pork but chicken is also good) with some green onion, garlic, 1 tbsp sesame oil, salt and pepper and let sit for one hour.
Fry your seasoned meat in a large wok style pan on high temperature until meat is thoroughly cooked and brown in color.








Add the veggies except the chopped green onion (save those for the end) and fry for 2 minutes with the browned meat. Your veggies should still be crisp.
Add the cooled noodle to the pan and stir  the noodles into the meat and veggies. I use a large wooden spoon and fold the meat and veggie mixture over the noodles and mix them in gradually.







Once everything is starting to incorporate add 1 tbsp sesame oil and the chopped green onion. Add soy sauce to your taste and add the dark color. Give one more toss and you are done!












Nothing left to do now but enjoy !
