Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces chow mein noodles
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 medium carrot
- 2 cups green cabbage
- 1 large bell pepper
- 3 stalks green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon white pepper
Instructions
Cook the chow mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. In a small bowl, toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and set aside to marinate for 5 minutes.
Chop the garlic and ginger finely. Peel and julienne the carrot. Thinly slice the cabbage, bell pepper, and green onions.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and 2 tablespoons of water to create the sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the carrots, cabbage, and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the chicken to the pan and add the cooked noodles. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Toss everything together well to coat evenly.
Add the sliced green onions, salt, and white pepper. Toss and sauté for an additional 2 minutes until heated through.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Easy Chicken Chow Mein Sauté!
