Time 30m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in thin strips
1/2 teaspoon baking soda (optional)
2 tablespoons peanut oil (or other cooking oil)
6 ounces fresh chow mein noodles
3 cups cabbage, finely shredded
1 carrot, julienned
1 cup bean sprouts
3 green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce (not sodium-reduced)
2 tablespoons Chinese wine (or sherry)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
3/4 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 pinch white pepper

Steps:

  • Optional - velveting the chicken : Combine chicken and baking soda in a small bowl and toss to combine. Set aside for 10 minutes to marinate, then rinse chicken well and pat dry.
  • To make Chow Mein Sauce, place the Chow Mein Sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix to combine.
  • Prepare the noodles according to the packet instructions.
  • Heat oil in wok or large fry pan over high heat.
  • Add garlic and stir fry for 30 seconds until the garlic is golden brown and you can smell the garlic in the oil.
  • Add chicken and stir fry until the skin is white but the inside is still raw - about 45 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Add the cabbage, carrot, and the white pieces of shallots/scallions (i.e. from the base of the stalk). Stir fry for 1 - 1½ minutes until the cabbage is just starting to wilt and the chicken is cooked through.
  • Add the noodles, sauce and water. Stir fry for 1 minute, tossing to coat the noodles in the sauce.
  • Add bean sprouts and remaining shallots/scallions. Stir through quickly then remove from heat.
  • Serve immediately with extra soy sauce.
