Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 large carrot, julienned
- 2 cups cabbage, shredded
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 8 ounces chow mein noodles
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and place in a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and cornstarch to the chicken. Mix well and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
Cook the chow mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Toss with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, combine the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, and water. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same pan. Add minced garlic and ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add carrot, cabbage, and red bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Add the cooked chicken back to the pan, followed by the cooked chow mein noodles. Pour the sauce mixture over the ingredients and toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
