🧂 Ingredients

  • 200g egg noodles
  • 250g boneless chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • ½ red bell pepper, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Green onions for garnish

🍳 Instructions

  1. Marinate Chicken
    Mix chicken with soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Let it rest for 10–15 minutes.

  2. Prepare Noodles
    Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.

  3. Stir-Fry Chicken
    Heat oil in a wok or large pan. Stir-fry chicken until cooked through, then remove and set aside.

  4. Cook Vegetables
    In the same wok, add onion, garlic, and vegetables. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.

  5. Combine and Sauce
    Add chicken and noodles back to the wok. Pour in soy sauces, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and black pepper. Toss everything on high heat for 2 minutes until well combined.

  6. Serve Hot
    Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately!

🌟 Tips

  • Use fresh noodles for a more authentic texture.
  • Adjust soy sauce to taste — light soy for salt, dark soy for color.
  • Add a little chili oil or sriracha for spice.
