Ingredients

• 400 grams wide rice noodles
• 300 grams boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
• 4 scallions, cut into 2-inch pieces
• 200 grams bean sprouts
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground white pepper

Directions

Step 1

Soak the wide rice noodles in warm water for about 30 minutes or until they are soft. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and the Shaoxing wine. Add the chicken strips and toss to coat. Let the chicken marinate for about 15 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create the sauce. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1.5 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large wok or non-stick skillet over high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until nearly cooked through. Remove the chicken from the wok and set it aside.

Step 5

In the same wok, add the remaining 1.5 tablespoons of vegetable oil and the minced garlic. Stir-fry for a few seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the scallions, followed by the soaked and drained rice noodles. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavors.

Step 7

Return the chicken to the wok, add the bean sprouts, and pour in the prepared sauce.

Step 8

Toss everything together for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the noodles and chicken are well-coated with the sauce.

Step 9

Season with salt and ground white pepper to taste, mix thoroughly, and remove from heat.

Step 10

Serve the chicken chow fun hot, garnished with additional sliced scallions if desired.
