Chow Mein/Noodles with Chicken

This Quick and easy noodle dish is fried using our famous local dried Kolo Mee.  The main ingredients being chicken breast slices and loaded with vegetables: carrot, cabbage and green vege. 

Ingredients: (serves 2)

3 pieces noodles (cook in boiling water until just soften, don't over boil. Drain and set aside)

1/2 cup chicken breast, thinly sliced

A pinch of salt and pepper 

2 tbsp. cooking oil

1/2 onion (peeled and diced)

1 cup shredded cabbage

1 1/2" carrot (peeled, sliced and blanched)

3 stalks green vege (washed and cut into 1" pieces)

2 cloves garlic (peeled and chopped)

1 tsp. fresh ginger (peeled and finely chopped)

1/4 cup light soy sauce

1 tsp. sesame oil

2 tbsp. water


Methods:

  1. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a wok over medium-high heat.  Add cooking oil and swirl to coat.
  3. Add the chicken to pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring often.  Add onion, cabbage, carrot and green vege.  Stir fry to cook until the vegetable are almost tender.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil and water.  Pour into the wok and cook for 2-3 minutes until cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. Stir in cooked noodles until well combined.
  6. Serve immediately with sliced bird's eye chili, lime juice and light soy sauce.

I adapted this recipe from 'quicker recipes' by Lauren Mechelle with a slight adjustment to suit my cooking preference.
