Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts thinly sliced
  • 8.8 oz 250g Chow Mein noodles
  • 3 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Method
 

  1. Cook the noodles: Cook according to package directions, or boil in lightly salted water for 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sear the chicken: Heat cooking and sesame oil in a wok or large skillet. Add chicken and cook until golden and fully cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. Build the flavor base: Add butter to the same pan, let it foam, then stir in garlic until fragrant.
  4. Add veggies: Toss in onion, bell pepper, carrots, and bok choy. Stir-fry for 2 minutes to keep the vegetables crisp.
  5. Bring it all together: Return chicken to the pan, add noodles, and pour in soy, oyster, and hoisin sauces. Toss everything together over high heat until glossy and evenly coated.
  6. Finish and serve: Sprinkle with scallions and red chili flakes. Serve immediately.
