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!
