Equipment

  • 1 wok

Ingredients

  • 12 oz egg noodles
  • 6 oz Bell pepper
  • 4 oz Mushrooms
  • 2 oz Green onion
  • 5.5 oz Cabbage
  • 13 oz Chicken
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 4 tbsp vegetable oil

For chicken marination

  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • ½ tsp baking soda

For sauce

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 cup chicken stock or mix 2 chicken cubes in 1 cup of warm water
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp white pepper powder
  • 1 tsp chili flakes or to Taste

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken into thin strips and marinate it with salt, black pepper, and baking soda. (Ingredients mentioned for the marinade) Mix it well and keep it aside.

Prepare the chow mein sauce

  • In a cup or bowl, add all the ingredients of sauce, mix them, and keep it aside

Boil noodles

  • In a big pot, add enough water to boil the noodles. Once it comes to a boil, add the noodles, and after 1-2 minutes, drain them using a strainer. Rinse with cold water and set them aside.

Prepare veggies

  • Remove the seeds and cut the bell peppers into long strips. Cut your mushrooms, cabbage, and green onions. Mince the fresh garlic.

Stir Fry

  • In a wok or a pan, add 2 tbsp of oil and cook the marinated chicken. It'll take 5-6 minutes on medium-high heat. Keep it stirring constantly.
  • Once cooked, take out the chicken and, in the same pan, add 2 tbsp of oil and then minced garlic. Give it about 30 seconds, then add all of the vegetables except for green parts of the spring onions. Save those for later.
  • Stir-fry vegetables for 2-3 minutes. Move the vegetables to the side, then add boiled noodles. Let the noodles sit for 30 seconds before moving them around for the restaurant-style burnt flavor.
  • Add sauce, mix it well, add cooked chicken, and drizzle with sesame oil. Sprinkle the green part of the spring onion and enjoy.
