Ingredients

• 200 grams high-protein noodles (e.g., soybean or lentil noodles)
• 200 grams chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 1 medium carrot
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1 teaspoon garlic
• 2 stalks green onions
• 3 tablespoons oil
• 500 milliliters water
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Boil 500 ml of water in a pot. Add the high-protein noodles and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 4-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into thin strips. In a bowl, combine the chicken strips with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.

Step 3

Wash and slice the green bell pepper and carrot into thin strips. Mince the ginger and garlic.

Step 4

In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and stir-fry until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil. Add the minced ginger, garlic, and julienned vegetables. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the remaining oil in the empty side. Crack the egg and scramble it by stirring it quickly.

Step 7

Once the egg is scrambled, add the chicken back into the skillet. Stir everything together.

Step 8

Add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Pour the remaining soy sauce and sesame oil over the noodles. Mix everything thoroughly, making sure the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.

Step 9

Allow the noodle mixture to cook on high heat for an additional 2-3 minutes without stirring to achieve a crispy texture.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy your high-protein crispy noodles hot!
