MOM'S FAMOUS CHOP SUEY AND NOODLES

Steps:

• Boil noodles in water until tender. Drain and convert to large bowl. Add seasoning, soy, brown sugar, oil, oyster sauce and blend well. Spray large metal broiler pan with cooking spray and spread 1/4 of the noodles onto the pan evenly. Bake at 350 degrees, turning noodles every 10 minutes for 30 minutes total, or until dry. Repeat with remaining noodles, baking 1/4 of the batch at a time. Marinate meat separately. Then, set meat aside in separate marinades while preparing vegetables.
• Clean, wash, and julienne the vegetables. Set each vegetable aside in separate piles. Bring big pot of water to boil. Partially boil each vegetable group separately dipping them in the hot water for 1 minute or less. Do not par-boil the mushrooms or green onions. Saute the mushrooms in butter until cooked. Once the vegetables are all par-boiled or cooked, you can mix them together in a large bowl, along with the green onions.
• Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a hot stir-fry pan. Remove garlic pieces and ginger from the meat marinade. Divide pork and ginger from meat marinade. Divide pork and chicken into 3 batches a piece. Stir fry each batch very quickly until cooked through and mix meats. Set aside.

Toss together and serve on a bed of noodles. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Be sure to keep the amount of vegetable you are stir frying in small batches until all has been cooked and blended together.
