Ingredients

• 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 1 medium bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 3 stalks green onions, chopped
• 250 grams egg noodles
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cups water
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by cutting the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.

Step 2

Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to the chicken. Mix well to coat evenly and let it marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables. Julienne the carrot, thinly slice the bell pepper, and chop the green onions. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.

Step 4

Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the julienned carrot and sliced bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened but still vibrant in color.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix with the vegetables.

Step 9

In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce, and 2 cups of water. Pour this sauce mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer.

Step 10

Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet and toss everything together, ensuring the noodles are well coated in the sauce and mixed with the chicken and vegetables.

Step 11

Allow the mixture to cook for 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors combine. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm. Enjoy 'My Dad's Favorite Chicken Noodles' with your loved ones!
