Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Chicken Marinade:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (or rice wine or dry sherry)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water

For the Stir-Fry:

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 red chilies, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 7 ounces Asian-style noodles, cooked according to package directions

For Garnish:

  • Fresh cilantro leaves
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Marinate Chicken: Combine chicken with egg white, cornstarch, Shaoxing wine, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Marinate for 5-10 minutes.
  2. Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and water.
  3. Cook Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and stir-fry until no longer pink. Remove chicken and set aside.
  4. Stir-fry Vegetables: Add remaining oil to the pan, along with garlic, chilies, and bell pepper. Stir-fry until vegetables are softened.
  5. Combine and Finish: Add cooked chicken, noodles, and sauce to the pan. Toss until well combined. Remove from heat and stir in green onions.

Notes

  • Marination: Marinating the chicken enhances flavor absorption.

  • Spice Level: Adjust the amount of chilies to control heat.
  • Bell Peppers: Use different colored bell peppers for visual appeal.
