Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless chicken thighs or chicken breast, sliced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 8 oz egg noodles or spaghetti
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Optional: bell peppers, onions, broccoli, chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Cook noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, mix chicken with soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, black pepper, garlic, and cornstarch. Let sit for 10–15 minutes.
  3. Heat oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until browned and fully cooked, then remove and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant.
  5. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and black pepper, stirring to combine.
  6. Add cooked noodles and toss until evenly coated in the sauce.
  7. Return chicken to the pan and toss everything together until heated through.
  8. Add green onions and optional vegetables, stirring briefly.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with extra black pepper or green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for juicier results or breast for a leaner option.
  • Adjust black pepper to control spice level.
  • Add vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli for extra texture.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce saltiness.
  • Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat with a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce.
