Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, skinless and boneless, cut into thin strips
- 300 g fresh egg noodles
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup snow peas, trimmed
- 1 cup baby corn, halved lengthwise
- 2 tbsp Shaoxing wine
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1½ tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- ½ tbsp dark soy sauce
- ½ tsp sugar
- 2 tbsp spring onions (scallions), finely chopped
Marinade
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp cornflour
Marinating time: 30 minutes
Instructions
- To make marinade, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornflour in a mixing bowl. Add chicken strips and toss until completely coated. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add egg noodles to boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes. Strain noodles.
- Heat half of the vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes. Flip, and repeat. Once slightly crispy on both sides, remove noodles from hot pan. Set aside.
- Add remaining vegetable oil to wok, and heat over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Add chicken strips in marinade and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add snow peas and baby corn, and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Deglaze with Shaoxing wine.
- Add oyster sauce, sesame oil, light and dark soy sauce, sugar, and spring onions and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked. Remove from heat. Place crispy noodles on individual serving plates, and top with chicken mixture.
