Chicken Stir-Fry with Egg Noodles
-
Start by preparing the sauce. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of white vinegar, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of red chili flakes. Mix until the sugar and cornstarch are dissolved. Set aside.
-
Slice 500 grams of chicken breast into thin strips. In another bowl, toss the chicken with a pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch.
-
Cook 200 grams of egg noodles according to package instructions, usually by boiling in water for about 5-6 minutes. Drain and set aside.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry until it starts to brown and is nearly cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of sesame oil. Add 1 sliced bell pepper, 1 sliced onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon of grated ginger. Stir-fry the vegetables until they are just tender, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Return the chicken to the skillet along with the cooked noodles and the prepared sauce. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and everything is heated through.
-
Serve hot, garnished with chopped spring onions and additional red chili flakes if desired.
