In reply to Lynda. Hi Lynda, I recommend to use a neutral oil (vegetable oil, grapeseed oil, sunflower oil etc) to replace all the peanut oil in my recipes. Sesame oil is a finishing oil and it will lose its fragrance if you add it at the beginning of the stir fry. If you want a bit extra nuttiness, you should drizzle a bit sesame oil at the end of the stir fry, although most of my recipes are fragrant enough so you don't have to add the finishing oil.

Hi Maggie,
Your recipes look amazing, can’t wait to try this one. Just wondered, can I use sesame oil instead of peanut oil in most Asian recipes?

In reply to Sam. Hi Sam, I think you can throw in thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms, maybe 3 to 4 mushrooms. The serving size really depends on how you serve the dish. It can serve 3 to 4 people if you serve it on the side, with other dishes (like in a restaurant). But if you plan to only serve the chow mein, it will be 2 big servings.

Hi Maggie ,
This recipe looks great, I can’t wait to make it. before that, I’ve got to ask can I use shitake mushrooms if so how many grams? Also, the recipe says 8 ounces dried noodles that like 230g roughly right, would that serve 3-4 people?

Thank you

We have this recipe from your cooking Chinese recipes. We don’t see where it says to cook and / or add the bean sprouts and the spinach? So we are a little lost here. Is there further explanatory directions you can give us? WE are enjoying the recipes so far, and they have turned out most satisfactory. Thank you for your help and assistance. We will wait to hear from you before we pepare this recipe. Thank you.

In reply to Harry. Thanks for the kind words, Harry! As Maggie's husband and official taste-tester, I've tried the dish with various chili sauces and I bet it was great with the Thai sweet chili.

There’s not much else to say then, it tastes absolutely amazing! Even when substituted the oyster sauce(not available organic) for Thai sweet chili sauce! My compliments!!
