Classic Chinese Chow Mein

I found this recipe for Chow Mein on Yummly (link shared is no longer valid).

These are the ingredients I usually use to marinate my meat:

1) garlic oil

2) soya sauce and/or oyster sauce

3) sugar

4) white pepper
5) cornstarch

Meat should be marinated for at least 15 to 20 mins.  Marinated meat can also be kept in an airtight container and store in the freezer for later use.

If you like, you can add the following ingredients to the chow mein:

1) Prawns
2) Sliced Fish cake

Always fry the meat slices first before adding prawns as they take a longer time to cook.  You can add the cabbage once the prawns have changed colour.  Sliced fish cake are already cooked, so you can add it after cabbage has wilted.
