Chinese Chow Mein

 Sunday is co-worker's birthday pot luck. The only thing I can do is cooking the real Chinese food. Since eating noodles is a Chinese tradition for birthday, so I made Chinese Chowmein. The long noodles I made means the person who has birthday is going to have a long life.


Happy birthday! my friend!

Now it is the instruction of how to make it.

1) Get some green beans from any grocery store.

10) Open a bag of fresh egg spaghetti noodles which you can get it from any grocery store.

11) Use your hands loose them like this:

12) Put the loosed noodles in the pan ob top of the half cooked green beans.
13) close the top and let it steam for 10 -- 15 minutes to get the green beans and the noodles well cooked, but the bottom of the pan is not burnt.

14) Open the top and stir them well.

15) Add two table spoon sesame oil and stir them well.

16) Turn the heat off and put them in a plat ( in a baking pan if it is for a party).


18) Clean some mild hot peppers.

19) Cut them as small pieces.


20) Clean some lemon Basil which you can get it from Asian store.
