Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Neutral oil (e.g., vegetable or canola oil)
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 4 Spring onions, sliced (both white and green parts)
- 1 Carrot, julienned
- 1 Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 300 g Egg noodles
- 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp Dark soy sauce
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Slice the chicken thighs into thin strips.
In a bowl, mix the chicken with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and the cornstarch until well coated. Set aside for 10 minutes to marinate.
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated chicken to the wok and stir fry for 4-5 minutes until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok. Stir fry the garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the spring onions for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the carrot and red bell pepper to the wok. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
Return the cooked chicken to the wok. Add the cooked noodles and toss to combine.
In a small bowl, mix the oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and chili flakes if using. Pour the sauce over the stir fry.
Toss everything together in the wok until evenly coated in the sauce and heated through, about 2 minutes.
Garnish with the green parts of the spring onions before serving.
