Speaking of spaghetti, I gave a recital last Sunday, and
my pianist and I arrived at the hall (out of breath,
hungry, dusty, tired) early to warm up and try the piano
out - but there was another function going on, so we
couldn't use the piano and thus had an hour to waste.
w/hat to do? Luckily, there was one of those hole-in-the-
wall Chinese takeout places down the street (turned out
to be darn good), so I had:
House special lo mein (this an adaptation of Joyce Chen's
recipe) I was served half of this as a "half order" for
$4.65, and it was too much, so I suppose it makes enough
for about 3 as a main course.
Bring a lot of water to the boil. Dump noodles in; turn
heat to low. Cook 3 minutes. Drain, toss with sesame oil
and regular oil, set aside.
In 4 separate dishes, combine each of the meats with 1/2
ts sherry and 1/2 ts cornstarch.
Heat the 4 tb oil in a skillet or wok to high. Add meats
in this order, stirring for a few seconds between each
addition: pork, beef, chicken, shrimp. As soon as you've
added and tossed the shrimp, add the mushrooms and
cabbage. Cook until cabbage is wilted. Add scallions, soy,
salt, and MSG. Stir. Add the noodles and the bean sprouts,
and stir-cook for 3 minutes. Serve hot on a warm platter.
