Mi Char - Savory Chinese Stir-Fried Noodles

Ingredients

• Mi Char noodles (8 ounces)
• Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Onion (1 medium, sliced)
• Carrots (2 medium, julienned)
• Cabbage (2 cups, shredded)
• Bell pepper (1 medium, sliced)
• Chicken breast (1 pound, thinly sliced)
• Soy sauce (3 tablespoons)
• Oyster sauce (2 tablespoons)
• Fish sauce (1 tablespoon)
• Sugar (1 teaspoon)
• Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
• Green onions (2, chopped (for garnish))

Instructions

1. Cook the Mi Char noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, ensuring they are not overcooked.
2. In a large wok or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over high heat until shimmering.
3. Add the minced garlic and sliced onion to the wok. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and the onion is translucent.
4. Incorporate the julienned carrots, shredded cabbage, and sliced bell pepper. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
5. Push the vegetables to one side of the wok, creating space for the chicken. Add the thinly sliced chicken breast to the other side and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and black pepper to create the savory sauce.
7. Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken and vegetables in the wok. Stir to combine, ensuring everything is well-coated.
8. Add the cooked Mi Char noodles to the wok, tossing everything together until the noodles are evenly mixed and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
9. Serve the Mi Char hot, garnished with chopped green onions for a fresh touch.
