Preparation
Mise en place
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Cut the broccoli head into bite-size florets.
- Halve, core and medium-dice the green pepper.
Roast the vegetables
- On a lined sheet pan, toss the broccoli with a drizzle of oil and S&P.
- Roast, 4 to 5 min., until partially cooked.
- Add the green pepper, a drizzle of oil and S&P; toss well.
- Roast, stirring halfway, 8 to 10 min., until tender.
Roast the bacon
- Meanwhile, arrange the bacon* on a second lined sheet pan and roast, flipping halfway, 10 to 14 min., until crispy.
- Transfer to a cutting board. Once cool, roughly chop.
Boil the noodles
- Meanwhile, add the noodles to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 2 to 4 min., until al dente.
- Drain and rinse.
- Toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
- Reserve the pot.
Make the chow mein
- In the same pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the leeks and sauté, 3 to 4 min., until softened.
- Add the teriyaki glaze and 1 cup water. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until the leeks are tender.
- Add the vegetables, noodles and ½ the bacon. Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until combined; season with S&P.
Plate your dish
- Divide the chow mein between your bowls.
- Garnish with the remaining bacon. Bon appétit!
