- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Cook the Noodles
- Boil water in a saucepan. Add egg noodles. Cook according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
Prepare the Ingredients
- Slice chicken thinly. Chop vegetables evenly. Thin cuts cook faster and stay tender.
Heat the Wok
- Place wok on medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil. Let it heat properly before adding ingredients.
Cook the Chicken
- Add sliced chicken to hot wok. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes. Cook until golden and fully done. Remove and set aside.
Stir-Fry Aromatics
- Add garlic and ginger to wok. Stir quickly for 30 seconds. Do not let them burn.
Add Vegetables
- Add bell pepper, carrot, cabbage and spring onions. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes. Keep vegetables slightly crisp.
Return Chicken
- Place cooked chicken back into wok. Mix gently with vegetables.
Add Sauces
- Pour soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil and black pepper. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Add Noodles
- Add cooked noodles into wok. Toss gently with tongs. Mix until sauce covers noodles evenly.
Serve Hot
- Turn off heat. Serve immediately in bowls. Garnish with extra spring onions if desired.
Notes
- Use shrimp instead of chicken.
- Try whole wheat noodles for extra fiber.
- Add mushrooms for earthy flavor.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt.
- Add chili flakes for heat.
- Squeeze fresh lime before serving.
