Ingredients

  • 12 oz thick egg noodles or Hokkien noodles

  • 8 oz chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 shallots, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 cups napa cabbage or bok choy, chopped
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

  6. Add the cooked noodles to the wok and toss gently with the meat and aromatics.
  7. Pour in soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chicken broth.
  8. Toss the noodles well so they absorb the sauce evenly.
  9. Add the chopped cabbage or bok choy and cook until slightly softened.
  10. Stir in the bean sprouts and green onions.
  11. Season with sugar and white pepper.
  12. Continue tossing until everything is heated through and evenly coated with sauce.

Notes

  • Pork slices can replace chicken for a more traditional variation.
  • Chili paste or chili oil can be added for a spicy version.
  • Mushrooms or bell peppers can be included for extra vegetables.
  • Prepare all ingredients before cooking since stir-frying happens quickly.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in a skillet with a splash of broth to loosen the noodles.
