Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams egg noodles
- 200 grams chicken breast
- 150 grams firm tofu
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 medium bell pepper
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and the firm tofu into small cubes.
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Mince the garlic cloves. Julienne the carrot and bell pepper. Slice the green onions diagonally.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil, then add the tofu cubes and fry until golden on all sides. Remove and set aside with the chicken.
Lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the julienned carrot and bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry for 2 minutes or until slightly tender.
Return the cooked chicken and tofu to the pan. Add the cooked noodles and pour over the prepared sauce. Toss everything together to combine well.
Add the sliced green onions, black pepper, and salt. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes to heat everything through and for the flavors to meld.
Serve hot, garnished with additional green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
