Ingredients
- 300 grams chicken breast, thinly sliced

- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 250 grams egg noodles
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 100 grams cabbage, shredded
- 3 cloves garlic, minced

- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions
Step 1
In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken breast with 1 tablespoon soy sauce and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.
Step 4
In the same wok, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, stir-frying for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the sliced onion, red bell pepper, carrot, and cabbage to the wok. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes, until they begin to soften.
Step 6
Return the cooked chicken to the wok along with the cooked noodles. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
Step 7
Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
