📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.

2. In the bowl with chicken, add the five spice powder, soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Mix well to coat the chicken. Cover and marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator).

3. Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and swirl to coat.

4. Add the marinated chicken to the pan in a single layer. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side until browned and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

5. In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir-fry the carrot, red bell pepper, and snow peas for 3-4 minutes, until slightly tender but still crisp.

6. Add the cooked egg noodles to the pan and toss to combine with the vegetables. Drizzle with sesame oil and stir gently to coat.

7. Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the noodles and vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for 2-3 more minutes until heated through.

8. Transfer the five spice chicken and noodles to a serving platter. Garnish with sliced spring onions and sesame seeds.

9. Serve hot and enjoy!
