Ingredients
Scale
- 226 g (8 oz) dried lo mein or fresh egg noodles
- 450 g (1 lb) boneless skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 60 ml (4 tbsp) low-sodium soy sauce
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) oyster sauce
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) toasted sesame oil
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) Shaoxing wine or dry sherry
- 15 g (1 tbsp) cornstarch
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) cold water
- 15 g (1 tbsp) grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium carrot (100 g / 1 cup), thin matchsticks
- 120 g (1 cup) snow peas or snap peas
- 1 small onion (100 g / 1 cup), sliced
- 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
- 30–45 ml (2–3 tbsp) neutral oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, and sugar in a bowl. Prepare the cornstarch slurry by mixing cornstarch with cold water until smooth.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the lo mein noodles according to package directions, until just shy of tender. Drain and toss with a little neutral oil.
- Slice the chicken and vegetables as directed. Pat the chicken dry to ensure proper searing.
- Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Sear the chicken until cooked through, then transfer to a plate.
- Add vegetable ingredients to the wok, cooking until they soften. Add ginger and garlic, cooking until fragrant.
- Combine the chicken, noodles, and sauce in the wok. Add the cornstarch slurry and stir until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.
- Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil, adjust seasoning as needed, and garnish with green onions before serving.
