Dickson Hee's oyster lo mein from The Breath of a Wok: Unlocking the Secrets of Chinese Wok Cooking Through Recipes and Lore by Grace Young and Alan Richardson

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Breadcrumbs on January 30, 2011

    p. 124 - I was looking for an alternative to rice tonight and since I had all ingredients on hand, thought I’d give this a try. This dish underwhelmed. Noodles were cooked, drained, rinsed and mixed w a sauce of sesame oil, oyster sauce, soy and sugar. Oil is heated in your wok and garlic is stir-fried until fragrant then noodles are tossed in. Scallions and the optional julienned were then tossed in before serving. My noodles were fresh but even they couldn’t perk up the flavours of this dish. Just one note and, unfortunately that note was boring!! I wouldn’t recommend this dish and that’s a first for me from these COTM’s.
