Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts thinly sliced
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine or rice wine or dry apple juice + 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 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
  • 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
  • Fresh cilantro leaves
  • Lime wedges

Method
 

  1. Combine thinly sliced chicken breasts with egg white, cornstarch, Shaoxing wine, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well to coat and let it marinate for 5 to 10 minutes to tenderize and infuse flavor.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together low-sodium soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set this sauce mixture aside for use later.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until the chicken turns opaque and is cooked through, no longer pink inside. Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the same pan. Add minced garlic, chopped red chilies, and thinly sliced red bell pepper. Stir-fry these vegetables until they soften and become fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the pan along with the cooked Asian-style noodles. Pour in the prepared sauce and toss everything together, stirring constantly to ensure the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables evenly. Remove from heat and stir in chopped green onions.
  6. Garnish the dish with fresh cilantro leaves. Serve hot, accompanied by lime wedges for squeezing over the dish to add a fresh, tangy brightness.

Notes

Ingredient Swap: I often reach for boneless, skinless chicken thighs when I am looking for an even more tender bite; they hold up beautifully to stir-frying.
