Shanghai Noodles Recipe

Shanghai Noodles
This recipe for shanghai noodles is a stir-fried dish that consists of pork, vegetables and noodles mixed with a sauce. If you are looking for an easy stir-fry with pasta, this is a great option. The pork is marinated in ingredients such as ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar. The vegetables that are added into this stir-fry are green onions, cabbage, and carrots. For the noodles, I like to use chow-mein noodles that I purchase from the Asian section at Wal-Mart but other noodles such as linguini or spaghetti will work as well. Some options for side dishes would be egg rolls or pot stickers. Enjoy.
