Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 8 oz (225g) egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup (120ml) chicken broth
- 1/4 cup (60ml) soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and toss with a little oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry until cooked through and browned, about 7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining oil. Stir-fry the onion, garlic, and bell pepper until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), brown sugar, cornstarch, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger.
- Return chicken to the skillet, then pour in the sauce. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until thickened.
- Add cooked noodles and toss everything together until evenly coated and heated through.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
Notes
Use high heat and don’t overcrowd the skillet to keep the veggies crisp-tender. Feel free to substitute shrimp, tofu, or extra veggies. Prep all ingredients in advance for a smooth cooking process!
