How to make Homemade chicken noodles

Serves: 2-3

Ingredients:

• 200g egg noodles or instant noodles
• 200g chicken breast or thighs, thinly sliced
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small carrot, julienned
• ½ bell pepper, sliced
• 2–3 spring onions, chopped
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional, for extra flavor)
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp ginger, minced or grated
• 1–2 tbsp cooking oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: chili flakes or hot sauce if you like spice

Method:

1. Cook the noodles: Boil the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
2. Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and cooked through (about 5–7 minutes). Remove and set aside.
3. Stir-fry the veggies: In the same pan, add another tbsp of oil if needed. Sauté onion, garlic, and ginger for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Add carrots, bell peppers, and spring onions. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
4. Combine everything: Add the cooked chicken back into the pan. Then add the noodles. Pour in soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
5. Adjust seasoning: Taste and add more salt, pepper, or soy sauce as needed. Sprinkle chili flakes or drizzle hot sauce if desired.
6. Serve: Plate your chicken noodles and garnish with extra spring onions or sesame seeds if you like. Enjoy hot and fresh!
