Units
Scale
- 8 oz chow mein noodles (or thin egg noodles)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1/2 cup sliced bell pepper (any color)
- 2 green onions, sliced (reserve some for garnish)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper (or black pepper)
- Optional: sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Cook noodles according to package directions until just al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and white pepper. Set sauce aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips and stir-fry until cooked through and lightly browned, about 4–5 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
- Add remaining oil, then sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add cabbage, carrot, bell pepper, and most of the green onions. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
- Return cooked chicken to the pan along with the noodles. Pour sauce over the mixture.
- Toss everything together over heat for another 1–2 minutes until noodles are heated through and well coated in sauce.
- Garnish with reserved green onions and optional sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Feel free to swap in other vegetables like bean sprouts, snow peas, or mushrooms.
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in a little soy sauce and cornstarch for 10 minutes before cooking.
- If you like it spicy, add a dash of chili garlic sauce or crushed red pepper flakes.
- To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free soy sauce.
