Ingredients

• 400 grams fresh egg noodles
• 300 grams chicken breast
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 3 stalks spring onions
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium carrot
• 100 grams bean sprouts
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the sauce by mixing soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and water in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 2

Trim the chicken breast and slice it into thin strips. Finely mince the garlic and ginger. Thinly slice the spring onions, keeping the white and green parts separate. Julienne the red bell pepper and carrot.

Step 3

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions, then drain and rinse with cold water. Toss with a small drizzle of sesame oil to prevent sticking and set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until golden and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the same wok. Toss in the minced garlic, ginger, and the white parts of the spring onions. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the sliced bell pepper, carrot, and chili flakes (if using). Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, keeping the veggies crisp yet tender.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the wok, then pour the prepared sauce over the ingredients. Toss to coat everything evenly.

Step 8

Add the cooked noodles and bean sprouts to the wok, stirring constantly to combine all the ingredients and heat the noodles through, about 2 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with the green parts of the spring onions. Serve immediately.
