- 400 gegg noodles
- 3 tbspsoy sauce
- 2 tbspoyster sauce
- 0.5 tspred chili flakes
- 1 tbspvegetable oil
- 0.5 tspblack pepper
meat
- 400 gchicken breast
produce
- 6 clovegarlic
- 3green onions
dairy
- 3 tbspunsalted butter
Steps
- Boil the egg noodles until just shy of tender, then drain and toss with a little oil.
- Slice the chicken into thin strips; mince the garlic and slice the green onions.
- Mix the soy sauce and oyster sauce together in a small bowl.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat.
- Add the chicken and sear until golden and cooked through, then push to one side.
- Add the butter and garlic to the empty side and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the chili flakes and stir the garlic butter into the chicken.
- Add the drained noodles and pour over the sauce.
- Toss everything over high heat until the noodles are glossy and coated.
- Season with black pepper and most of the green onions.
- Serve hot, garnished with the remaining green onions.
Tips
- Cook the noodles just shy of done since they finish in the sauce.
- Brown the chicken well before adding the sauce for extra depth.
- Do not let the garlic burn — add it after the chicken is seared and keep it moving.
- Toss everything over high heat so the glaze coats each strand.
