📝 Instructions

7 steps

1. In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken breast with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.

2. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

3. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.

4. In the same wok, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

5. Add the sliced onion, red bell pepper, carrot, and cabbage to the wok. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes, until they begin to soften.

6. Return the cooked chicken to the wok along with the cooked noodles. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.

7. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
