Cuisine: Chinese
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
- 8 oz noodles
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 lb of sliced chicken breast, 8 oz of noodles, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of minced ginger, 2 chopped green onions, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 4-6 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- While the noodles are cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
- Next, add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir-fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, or until it is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
- Once the chicken is cooked, add the soy sauce and sesame oil to the skillet. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly with the sauce.
- When the noodles are done cooking, drain them and add them to the skillet with the chicken. Toss everything together gently to combine, ensuring the noodles are coated in the sauce.
- Finally, add the chopped green onions to the skillet and give everything one last toss. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
- Serve the Chinese Chicken and Noodles hot, garnished with additional green onions if desired. Enjoy your meal!
Tips
- For the most tender chicken, slice it against the grain and ensure your skillet is hot before adding the meat.
- Don't overcook the noodles - aim for al dente to prevent a mushy texture.
- Use fresh garlic and ginger for maximum flavor impact.
- If you want extra heat, add a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes.
- For a more authentic touch, try using fresh Chinese egg noodles instead of standard pasta.
- Prep all ingredients before you start cooking to ensure a smooth, stress-free cooking process.
- A well-seasoned wok or cast-iron skillet can elevate the flavor of your dish significantly.
