CHICKEN CHOW MEIN (WEST INDIAN STYLE)

Chicken Chow Mein (West Indian Style) image

In the West Indies we eat chicken chow mein with lots of chile. It's usually served with plain rice. This dish has tons of flavor and is a bit different from what you'd get in a Chinese restaurant.

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package egg noodles
½ cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
2 chile peppers, chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (1 1/2 inch) piece ginger root, cut into strips
5 tablespoons dark soy sauce
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, chopped
1 green bell pepper, cut into strips
2 large carrots, cut into strips
1 tablespoon ground white pepper
5 tablespoons dark soy sauce
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or more to taste
1 pinch salt to taste
4 green onions, finely chopped

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chile peppers, onion, garlic, and ginger; cook until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 5 tablespoons dark soy sauce; fry for 1 more minute.
Cook and stir chicken in the onion mixture over high heat until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes. Add green bell pepper and carrots and cook until softened, about 5 more minutes.
Gently fold noodles into chicken mixture. Mix in white pepper, 5 more tablespoons dark soy sauce, and cilantro until heated through, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with green onion to serve.
