Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Gluten-free chow mein noodles
- 1 lb Boneless chicken breast
- 0.25 cup Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 2 tbsp Sesame oil
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, minced
- 1 Carrot, julienned
- 1 Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Snow peas
- 4 Green onions, chopped
- 1 cup Bean sprouts
- 2 tbsp Oyster sauce (gluten-free)
- 1 tsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Water
Instructions
Cook the gluten-free chow mein noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
Thinly slice the chicken breast into bite-sized strips.
In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken with 2 tablespoons of tamari and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until it is cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the julienned carrot, red bell pepper, and snow peas to the pan. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are just tender.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables, and add the remaining tamari, oyster sauce, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Toss everything together.
Mix the cornstarch with the water to make a slurry. Pour this over the chicken and vegetables, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens.
Add the cooked noodles, green onions, and bean sprouts to the pan. Toss everything together until the noodles are heated through and well combined with the other ingredients.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Gluten-Free Chicken Chow Mein!
