- 1 tbsp rice vinegar or lime juice
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken:
- In a bowl, combine sliced chicken, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
2. Cook the Noodles:
- Boil the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Drizzle a little oil over the cooked noodles to prevent sticking.
3. Mix the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed and set aside.
4. Stir-Fry the Chicken:
- Heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through (about 5–7 minutes). Remove from the pan and set aside.
5. Stir-Fry the Vegetables:
- In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil.
- Add garlic and onion, stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add bell peppers, carrots, and broccoli (if using). Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until vegetables are tender but still crisp.
6. Combine Everything:
- Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables.
- Add the cooked noodles and pour the sauce over the top.
- Toss everything together over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until the noodles are evenly coated and heated through.
7. Garnish and Serve:
- Sprinkle with chopped green onions and serve immediately.
- Optional: Add a drizzle of sriracha or chili oil for some heat.
Serving Suggestions:
- Pair with a side of cucumber salad or spring rolls.
- Add sesame seeds or crushed peanuts for extra crunch.
Tips for Success:
- Use High Heat: Stir-fry on high heat for a smoky, authentic flavor.
- Customize Veggies: Feel free to use any vegetables you like, such as snap peas, cabbage, or mushrooms.
- Protein Options: Replace chicken with shrimp, beef, or tofu for variety.
