• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

Step 2

Cut the chicken into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Marinate with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and a pinch of black pepper. Let it sit for 10 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the remaining soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chili paste. Set aside.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and stir-fry until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the wok and set aside.

Step 6

In the same wok, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 7

Push the garlic to one side of the wok and crack the eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs, then mix them with the garlic.

Step 8

Add the shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, and bean sprouts to the wok. Stir-fry for 2 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 9

Return the cooked chicken to the wok and mix it with the vegetables.

Step 10

Add the cooked egg noodles to the wok. Pour the sauce mixture over the noodles and toss well to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

Step 11

Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Step 12

Turn off the heat and sprinkle with chopped scallions.
