3 minutes). Then sprinkle with soy sauce and sugar and
blend in. 4. Add celery, onion, and mushrooms;
stir-fry 2 minutes more. 5. Add stock and heat
quickly. Cook, uncovered, another 2 to 3 minutes over
medium heat. then combine with Soft-fried or tossed
noodles, as indicated below.

VARIATIONS: Shred the pork and vegetables. Omit the
stock and additional cooking in step 5.

Chinese noodles are distinguised not only by their
constituents but by the way they're prepared. The
noodles can be cooked, mixed, blended, and combined
with just about every variety of meat, seafood, and
vegetable. They can be added to soup, either alone, or
with various toppings..etc etc

LO MEIN means "tossed or mixed noodles" and calls for
parboiled noodles (also previously drained dry and
chilled) to be added, not to the hot oil and soft-
fried as in CHOW MEIN, but directly to the meat and
vegetable combinations, which have already been
stir-fried. These noodles, tossed or mixed and heated
through with the cooked combinations, are moister,
having more of a sauce than the CHOW MEIN.
