Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 1 large carrot
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 4 stalks green onions
- 12 ounces cooked egg noodles
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon chili paste (optional)
Instructions
Slice the chicken thighs into thin strips and place them in a bowl.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, and cornstarch, then pour it over the chicken. Toss to coat and let it marinate for 10–15 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, chop the garlic, grate the ginger, julienne the carrot and bell pepper, and thinly slice the green onions. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and chili paste (if using). Set the sauce aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until fully cooked, about 4–5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
Add the remaining vegetable oil to the same pan. Add the garlic and ginger, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Toss in the carrot and bell pepper, and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Add the cooked noodles, green onions, and bean sprouts to the pan. Return the chicken to the pan as well.
Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss everything together until evenly coated. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve the Chicken Wow Mein hot and enjoy!
