Cha Chaing Mein
pointers


Cooking oil
If you don't have sesame oil, substitute vegetable oil. Some type of oil is essential, because it helps keep the noodles from sticking together as they cook and as they sit in the serving bowl.
Cooking time
Do not overcook the noodles in step 2 or they will become mushy.
Tossing
When stir-frying in steps 4 and 5, constantly toss the ingredients in the oil in the bottom of the wok.
Black beans
Black bean sauce may be substituted for the black beans if it is not overly seasoned.
