• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and place them in a bowl.

Step 2

In the bowl with the chicken, add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, and mix well. Let the chicken marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Cook the Chow Mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the remaining soy sauce, oyster sauce, chicken stock, and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Stir until smooth and set the sauce aside.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Add the marinated chicken to the wok. Stir-fry for 5 to 6 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the wok and set it aside.

Step 7

In the same wok, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir-fry the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the carrots, snap peas, cabbage, and bean sprouts to the wok. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4 to 5 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 9

Push the vegetables to one side of the wok and add the cooked Chow Mein noodles. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil over the noodles and stir-fry for 2 minutes.

Step 10

Return the cooked chicken to the wok. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken, noodles, and vegetables. Stir everything together until evenly coated in the sauce.

Step 11

Add sesame oil, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
