香菇鸡丝面

Slurp! :P is not an 'instant' dish as time is needed to prepare the mushroom in advance. Few days back, I've steamed the mushroom and chilled them in air-tight container. The mushroom is plump & juicy and tasted sweet after steaming with wine & scallops. To prepare this noodle dish, I just reheat some mushroom by steaming with the chicken.

I do not like the alkaline taste of normal yellow noodle so I used dried version instant noodle also known as '手工拉面'. Nowadays there are many brands of instant chinese noodle which can be found easily at supermarket.
