For the Noodles Throwdown, I decided to take a shot at Hong Kong Style Crispy Noodles.

The noodles of choice:

The noodles took a swim in some boiling water, followed by cold water, and then drained. From there they joined some oil in a hot 20" wok inside the XL Egg:

Some chicken was up next:

Followed by some baby bok Choy, bean sprouts, shiitake mushrooms, and green onions:

The chicken and a sauce joined the party:

And topped the pan fried (wok fried) noodles on a serving platter:

Thanks for looking!
 
I must admit, I found the sauce a bit lacking in flavor. I kind of threw this together: 1 cup chicken broth, 1 TBS oyster sauce, 1/2 TBS soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp cooking wine.

On my first run at this dish the other day I made a sauce following this recipe:
2 tablespoons of oyster sauce
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 cup water
2 tablespoons of sugar
2 teaspoons of cooking wine

It had a lot of flavor but it was a little sweet for my taste which led to my experiment tonight. I'm going to have to work on the sauce...
 
Look great. Maybe try some fermented black bean paste and garlic in your sauce. And a splash or too of fish sauce? And scallions right at the end.
 
We were just talking about this dish, and how hard it can be to find it in Wisconsin
