Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 30 ml oyster sauce
- 30 ml sesame oil
- 15 grams cornstarch
- 250 grams egg noodles
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 100 grams broccoli florets
- 100 grams bean sprouts
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 10 grams ginger, grated
- 5 grams salt
- 1 gram white pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and place them in a mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and white pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken strips and mix until all the chicken is evenly coated. Set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated chicken strips to the pan and stir-fry until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add garlic and ginger, and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the sliced bell pepper, julienned carrot, and broccoli florets to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan along with the cooked egg noodles, bean sprouts, and chopped green onions.
Toss everything together and stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
Season the chow mein with salt to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
