![Shrimp Chow Mein recipe](https://news365.ng/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Shrimp-Chow-Mein-recipe.jpeg)
This is so good! I felt like I had ordered takeout! The flavours were all spot-on with the slightly crunchy vegetables and the sauce was light but just enough to coat the noodles, veggies, and shrimp.
Prep: 20 mins
Cook: 25 mins
Total: 45 mins
Servings: 4
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients:
* 8 ounces chow mein noodles
* ¼ cup chicken stock
* 2 tablespoons dry sherry
* 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
* 1 ½ tablespoon soy sauce
* 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
* 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
* ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
* 2 tablespoons canola oil
* ½ cup matchstick carrots
* ½ cup thinly sliced onion
* ½ stalk celery, diagonally sliced
* 1 ½ tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
* 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
* ¾ pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
* 1 cup bean sprouts
* 4 stalks of green onions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
* 2 cups fresh baby spinach
Directions / Instructions
Step 1
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain, rinse, and set aside.
Step 2
Whisk together chicken stock, sherry, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and pepper in a small bowl.
Step 3
Heat a large 12-inch cast-iron skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot. Add canola oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan; heat until it just begins to smoke. Add carrots, onion, celery, ginger, and garlic to hot oil and cook, stirring constantly, just until vegetables begin to soften, about 1 minute. Add shrimp and cook, stirring constantly, until almost done, about 2 minutes. Push vegetables and shrimp to one side of the pan and add chicken stock mixture; stir constantly until sauce is hot.
Step 4
Add noodles and stir well to mix with sauce and vegetables (using a metal spatula and chopping noodles slightly helps to mix this together.) Cook, stirring constantly until the noodles have absorbed the sauce, about 2 minutes. Stir in bean sprouts and green onions and cook, stirring constantly, until just cooked 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in baby spinach until just wilted. Serve immediately.

Lemon meringue scones recipe
![Lemon meringue scones](https://news365.ng/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Lemon-meringue-scones.jpeg)
Lemon meringue scones recipe. Swap your regular scones for something a bit different: this easy, retro recipe inspired by lemon meringue pie.
Ingredients (10)
– 400g (2 2/3 cups) self-raising flour, plus extra, to dust
– 100g (1/2 cup) caster sugar
– 60g butter, chilled, chopped
– 1 tbsp finely grated lemon rind
– 250ml (1 cup) lemonade
– 80ml (1/3 cup) fresh lemon juice
– 25g bought mini meringues, finely crushed
– 160ml (2/3 cup) thickened cream, whipped
– 130g (1/2 cup) bought lemon curd
– Icing sugar, to dust
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 220C/200C fan forced. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Sift the 400g (2 2/3 cups) self-raising flour, plus extra, to dust into a large bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the 100g (1/2 cup) caster sugar. Use your fingertips to rub the 60g butter, chilled, chopped into the mixture until it resembles fine crumbs. Stir in the 1 tbsp finely grated lemon rind. Make a well in the centre.
Step 2
Pour the 250ml (1 cup) lemonade into the well. Use a flat-bladed knife in a cutting motion to mix until evenly incorporated and the mixture just begins to hold together. Knead on a lightly floured surface until just smooth. Shape dough into a 2cm-thick disc. Use a round 6cm-diameter pastry cutter dipped in extra flour to cut 12 rounds from the dough, re-shaping offcuts as needed. Place the scones, slightly apart, on the prepared tray. Bake for 17 minutes or until golden and scones sound hollow when tapped on top.
Step 3
Meanwhile, place the 80ml (1/3 cup) fresh lemon juice and remaining sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to the boil over high heat. Boil for 3-4 minutes or until thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Step 4
Use a serrated knife to slice the warm scones in half horizontally. Brush the tops of the scones with the syrup then sprinkle with 25g bought mini meringues, finely crushed. Top the scone bases with 160ml (2/3 cup) thickened cream, whipped and 130g (1/2 cup) bought lemon curd then sandwich with the scone tops. Serve dusted with Icing sugar, to dust.
