Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and water to create a stir-fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once hot, add the sliced chicken and season with black pepper. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the bell peppers and carrot to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the wok and toss to combine.
Add the cashews to the wok, followed by the cooked noodles. Toss everything together to mix.
Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over the ingredients in the wok. Stir well to coat everything evenly and allow the sauce to heat through, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the wok from the heat and sprinkle the chopped green onions on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Chicken Cashew and Noodle Stir-Fry!
