Ingredients

  • 1 pound chow mein noodles or stir-fry style noodles
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin or oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
  • 1½ teaspoons distilled white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce, optional
  • ½ cup neutral flavored oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 carrots, julienned
  • 2 bell peppers, any color, julienned
  • 4 spring onions, sliced, whites and greens separated
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, chili garlic sauce, white vinegar, and dark soy sauce (if using). Set aside.

  3. In a large pot, warm the oil over medium high heat. Add chicken, garlic, black pepper, white pepper, and salt. Saute until the chicken is nearly cooked through, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add carrots, bell peppers, and whites of the spring onions. Saute until the chicken is cooked through (the vegetables will remain crisp), about 2 minutes.

  4. Add prepared noodles and sauce. Toss to combine, and adjust seasonings as needed. Garnish with greens of spring onion and cilantro.
