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)

Instructions
- Cook the Mi Char noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, ensuring they are not overcooked.
- In a large wok or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over high heat until shimmering.
- Add the minced garlic and sliced onion to the wok. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and the onion is translucent.
- 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.
- 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.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and black pepper to create the savory sauce.
- Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken and vegetables in the wok. Stir to combine, ensuring everything is well-coated.
- 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.
- Serve the Mi Char hot, garnished with chopped green onions for a fresh touch.
