Although chow mein is traditionally made with egg noodles, you can use any noodles you like. We used packaged crunchy fried noodles – crispy egg noodles that have been deep-fried in the manufacturing process. Chinese barbecued pork is available from Asian barbecue shops. You will also need about half a small chinese cabbage for this recipe. Chinese barbecued pork has a sweet-sticky coating made from soy sauce, sherry, five-spice and hoisin sauce, and is traditionally cooked in special ovens. You can substitute soft egg noodles for the crunchy noodles, if you prefer, but check the manufacturer’s instructions regarding their preparation.
