Prep 20 min Cook 15 min Serves 4 Easy

Ingredients

Chicken300 g, thinly sliced
Garlic3 cloves, minced
Vegetable Oil2 tbsp
Bell Pepper1, sliced
Carrot1, julienned
Cabbage2 cups, shredded
Spring Onions3, cut into batons
Soy Sauce3 tbsp
Sesame Oil1 tsp
Chow Mein Noodles300 g, fresh
Oyster Sauce2 tbsp
Cornstarch1 tbsp (velvet the chicken)

Instructions

1
Toss chicken slices with 1 tbsp soy sauce and the cornstarch. Rest 15 minutes — this velveting keeps the meat silky.
2
Boil noodles until just springy (1-2 minutes for fresh). Drain, rinse cold and toss with a few drops of oil.
3
Sear the chicken in a very hot wok with 1 tbsp oil until golden. Remove.
4
Stir-fry garlic, then all the vegetables on maximum heat for 2 minutes — they should stay crunchy.
5
Add noodles, chicken, remaining soy sauce and oyster sauce. Toss constantly for 2 minutes until everything is glossy and coated.
6
Finish with sesame oil and spring onions. Serve straight from the wok.

Chef's tip

Have everything chopped and within arm's reach before lighting the stove — stir-frying waits for no one.
