→ Main Components
08 -
1 cup (100 g) shredded carrots
09 -
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
10 -
8 oz (225 g) chow mein noodles (thin egg noodles work too)
11 -
2 green onions, sliced
12 -
1 small onion, sliced
13 -
2 cups (150 g) shredded cabbage or bok choy

2 garlic cloves, minced

16 -
1/2 cup (50 g) bean sprouts (optional)
# Steps:
01 -
In a small bowl, combine sesame oil, chicken broth, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch, oyster sauce, and sugar. Stir until smooth and set this aside for later.
02 -
Follow the cooking directions on your noodle package. Drain the water when done and leave the noodles to the side.
03 -
Pour 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil into a large skillet or wok set to medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices and cook until they're browned and fully done, about 5–6 minutes. Take the chicken out and set it aside for now.
04 -
Using the same skillet, heat the last tablespoon of vegetable oil. Toss in the garlic and onion, cooking for just a minute. Add in the cabbage, carrots, and any bean sprouts you're using. Stir everything around for 2–3 minutes, just until they're a little soft but not mushy.
05 -
Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, followed by the boiled noodles. Pour the sauce mixture on top and toss gently, making sure everything is coated and well-mixed.
06 -
Sprinkle green onions on top and serve right away while it's hot!
# Notes:
01 -
Marinate the chicken beforehand with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch for 15 minutes for more flavor.
02 -
Switch the chicken for tofu, beef, or shrimp if you're in the mood for something different.
03 -
For a bigger veggie mix, try adding mushrooms, snap peas, or bell peppers.
04 -
Keep leftovers in the fridge for 2 days max. Reheat in the microwave or a pan to serve.
