Original recipe serves 4. Current scale: 1x.
Adapted from a recipe by ANGCHICK at allrecipes.com. An excellent side dish for any Asian meal, try adding ¾ lb cooked meat (chicken, pork, beef, shrimp), cut in julienne, for a main dish. * The best noodles to use are found in Asian markets, labelled "lo mein." They're a slightly dry, curly, fresh egg noodle. Next best is regular dried linguini. Dried egg noodles will turn mushy, as will vacuum-packed "fresh Chinese-style" egg noodles. * Hoisin sauce, also called Peking sauce, is a thick, reddish-brown sauce that is sweet and spicy, and widely used in Chinese cooking. It's a mixture of soybeans, garlic, chile peppers and various spices. It can be found in Asian markets and many large supermarkets. Look in the Asian or ethnic section. If this item is not in stock at your local store, ask your grocer to special order it for you. Most grocers will be happy to do this for their customers.
