Baked Gon Lo Mein

Gon Lo Mein means dry-fried noodle. This is a Hawaiian version of a Chinese dish. Other vegetables may be used in this dish as well if desired.

• Ready In: 1 hr 5 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1  lb  chow mein noodles, ready to eat (I use a 6 oz pkg of chuka soba chow mein which weighs just over 1 lb prepared)
• 1  tablespoon  peanut oil (to stir-fry noodles)
• 2  cups bean sprouts (8 oz)
• 3  green onions, cut into 1-inch lengths
• 1  small onion, sliced
• 3  garlic cloves, minced (optional)
• 3  stalks celery, sliced diagonally (1 cup)
• 2  cups bok choy, shredded
• 1  tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1⁄2 lb  char siu pork, sliced and cut into bite-sized pieces (leftover Barbecued Pork--Chinese Style works great)

• sauce

• 3  tablespoons oyster sauce
• 3  tablespoons soy sauce (shoyu)
• 1  tablespoon sugar
• 1  teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
2. Mix noodles, vegetables, sesame, and char siu, and place in pan (the chuka soba noodles I use direct you to stir-fry the noodles after boiling them, and I stir-fry them with the onions and bean sprouts before mixing in the other veggies and meat, and putting it in the baking pan).
3. Mix sauce ingredients, and lace noodle mixture with sauce.
4. Seal with foil.
5. Bake at 325°F for 45 minutes.
6. Remove from oven and loosen foil immediately to let steam escape (so vegetables don't overcook).
7. Serve hot or cold.
