Gay's Chow Mein

This is Mom's chow mein she makes for our Chinese Food Dinners.  It's fairly basic, but I love this chow mein, probably because of it's simplicity.

Gay's Chow Mein

chicken breasts, no skin, no bone, R-T-C
chicken broth
celery -- sliced
onions -- chopped
bean sprouts
mushrooms -- sliced
sugar snap peas
water
cornstarch
salt -- to taste
black pepper -- to taste
soy sauce -- to taste

I cook chicken in water or chicken broth, and then take out the chicken, shred it and put it back in the broth.  I put in sliced celery, chopped onions, bean sprouts, mushrooms (optional, of course), peas in the pod, etc.  When it is boiling, I stir in some mixture of 1 part water to 1 part cornstarch, to thicken it, and then add salt, pepper, and soy sauce to taste.  We serve it over rice or noodles.

GLUTEN FREE DIRECTIONS:  Use gluten free chicken broth and soy sauce.

SOY FREE DIRECTIONS:  Use soy free chicken broth.  Use a soy sauce substitute.

Cream of Mushroom Soup

2 cups milk
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 cups water
4 vegetable bouillon cubes
1 small can of mushroom pieces

Whisk cold milk and cornstarch together in cold saucepan, bring to a simmer over medium heat, cooking until thickened, stir frequently, add 2 cups boiling water and 4 bouillon cubes, whisk and cook until cubes are completely dissolved. Add mushrooms and blend with a stick blender until the desired consistency. Add to your favorite recipe.

Makes the equivalent of two cans of condensed soup.

*Cornstarch doesn't do well when it cooks for a long time, so if you are cooking something for a while, do the milk and cornstarch separately and add right before serving.*

GLUTEN FREE and SOY FREE DIRECTIONS:
Use gluten and soy free bouillon.

Cream of Chicken Soup

2 cups milk
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 cups water
4 chicken bouillon cubes
(optional, small cut up pieces of cooked or canned chicken)

Whisk cold milk and cornstarch together in cold saucepan, bring to a simmer over medium heat, cooking until thickened, stir frequently, add 2 cups boiling water and 4 bouillon cubes, whisk and cook until cubes are completely dissolved. Add to your favorite recipe.

Makes the equivalent of 2 cans condensed soup. If it's too thin, reduce water by 1/2 cup.

*Note, I've found that when cooking with cornstarch it doesn't do well to cook all day long, so when I made Hawaiian Haystacks in my crockpot, I cooked the chicken with the water and chicken bouillon and then before I served it I used a saucepan to bring the cornstarch and milk to a simmer until it was thick, then stirred it in before serving.*

GLUTEN FREE and SOY FREE DIRECTIONS:
Use gluten and soy free bouillon.
