Budget Menu

1. Prepare noodles

If using dried chow mein noodles, cook in boiling salted water according to package instructions until just tender. Drain, rinse briefly with cold water, and set aside.

2. Marinate chicken

In a bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Add chicken strips and toss to coat. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.

3. Stir-fry chicken

Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 4-6 minutes. Remove and set aside.

4. Sauté aromatics

In the same pan, add another 1 tablespoon oil. Add minced garlic and ginger; sauté 30 seconds until fragrant.

5. Cook vegetables

Add carrot, onion, and bell pepper. Stir-fry 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.

6. Combine noodles and sauce

Return noodles and bean sprouts to the pan. Add remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce and oyster sauce; pour in 60 ml water and toss to combine.

7. Thicken sauce (optional)

If a thicker sauce is desired, whisk 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2-3 tablespoons water to make a slurry and stir into the pan; cook 1-2 minutes until glossy.

8. Finish

Remove from heat, drizzle with sesame oil, toss to combine, and adjust seasoning. Garnish with optional green onions if desired. Serve hot.
