How to Make Combination Chow Mein
- In a bowl, combine diced pork, five-spice powder, hoisin sauce, and soy sauce. Mix well, cover, and marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator (or longer for deeper flavor).
- Heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add prawns and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove prawns from wok and set aside, keeping warm.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of peanut oil to the wok. Add diced chicken and marinated pork. Stir-fry until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove chicken and pork from wok and keep warm with the prawns.
- Add diced carrots and brown onion to the wok and stir-fry until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add celery, capsicum, and mushrooms. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, until vegetables are tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together chicken stock, cornflour, light soy sauce, and oyster sauce until smooth.
- Return the prawn, chicken, and pork mixture to the wok. Add bok choy, bean sprouts, and green onions.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the ingredients in the wok. Stir-fry until the sauce boils and thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
- Serve hot over cooked rice. Garnish with extra green onions and chow mein noodles (optional).
