Easy-to-make chicken chow mein noodles with crunchy vegetables, and a delicious sauce made to marry everything together.


Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Marinade:

  • 1 lb of thinly sliced chicken breast
  • 2 tbsp egg whites
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp freshly cracked pepper
  • 1 tbsp corn starch

Chow Mein Sauce:

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb of egg noodles
  • 3 Tbsp cooking oil
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp Siaoxing cooking wine (Chinese Cooking Wine)
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • ½ cup orange bell peppers
  • ½ cup green onion sliced an inch wide (white part only)
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • ½ cup red onions
  • ½ cup purple cabbage
  • ½ cup green onions sliced an inch wide (only the green part)

Instructions

  1. Combine the chicken breast with salt, pepper, egg whites, and corn starch, set aside. Cut all your choice of vegetables and set aside.
  2. Cook the noodles to al dente, rinse under cold water, drain and set aside.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the “chow mein sauce” and set aside.
  4. Set your wok to high heat and add 2 tbsp of cooking oil. Add in the marinated chicken breast and sear the chicken for about 3 minutes, flip and sear the other side for about 3-4 minutes. (Cooking time will vary on how thinly you sliced your chicken) Transfer in a bowl and clean off the wok with a napkin.
  5. Add 1 tbsp cooking oil and stir fry the white part of the green onions, sliced carrots, bell peppers, and cooking wine for about 1 minute.
  6. Join in your cooked noodles to the wok and stir fry for 1 minute, then toss your “chow mein sauce”, chicken, and remaining vegetables (cabbage, green part of green onions, red onions) together.
  7. Stir fry for about 3-4 minutes. You still want your vegetables to be crunchy so don’t overcook them!
  8. Turn off the heat and add in sesame oil and bean sprouts. 
  9. Serve while hot and ENJOY!

Notes

All the ingredients should be available at your local Asian supermarket. If you are having trouble finding some of the ingredients, I linked a few that would be a little harder to find.
