1. Prepare and slice all ingredients. Cook noodles in salted boiling
water. Drain in colander, run cold water over noodles to remove excessive
starch from them. Reserve.

2. Place oil in wok, heat to smoking point. Add chicken and onions, salt
to it and stir fry 3 minutes, then add celery, celery cabbage or bean
sprouts, stir fry briefly, cover wok, cook ingredients 2 minutes. Lift
cover off wok, add water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, soya sauce,
and cook for 3 minutes longer, with wok cover.
Lift cover of wok 2 or 3 times to stir ingredients so that everything can
be cooked through. When ingredients are cooked, add pepper, more salt, if
desired. Mix drained noodles in, stir everything up thoroughly.

NOTE: Use egg noodles only. Macaroni does not contain egg and will break
up when stirred as for chow mein. Shrimps or pork could be substituted for
the meat above or for super deluxe chow mein, a 1/2 of each meat may be
used.
