Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- In a bowl, mix all chicken marinade ingredients. Add the sliced chicken, toss well, and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Cook the Noodles
- Cook dried egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Drizzle a little oil to prevent sticking.
3. Prepare the Sauce
- In a small bowl, combine all sauce ingredients. Stir until sugar dissolves and set aside.
4. Stir-Fry the Chicken
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the marinated chicken until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
5. Sauté the Vegetables
- In the same wok, add 1-2 tbsp of oil. Sauté garlic and onion until fragrant. Add bell pepper, carrot, cabbage, and half the spring onions. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, keeping vegetables crisp-tender.
6. Combine Everything
- Return the cooked chicken to the wok. Add the noodles and pour in the sauce mix. Toss everything together over medium-high heat until the noodles are evenly coated and heated through.
7. Garnish and Serve
- Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with the remaining spring onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
