A must try Chinese all-favorite dish prepared with noodles, vegetables and your favorite choice of protein. I prefer chicken!

Yields1 Serving
Ingredients:
 100 g Chow mein noodles*
 Water to boil the noodles
 1 Chicken breast, cut into thin slices
 3 tbsp Vegetable oil
 1 tbsp Sesame oil

 ½ cup White onions, julienned
 ½ cup Green onions, roughly chopped
 1 cup Green cabbage, roughly chopped
 ½ cup Carrot, sliced
 1 cup Broccoli
 ½ cup Fresh mushrooms, sliced

It's all about the sauce:
 1 tsp Cornstarch / cornflour
 3 tbsp Soy sauce**
 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
 1 tbsp Sugar
 1 tbsp Sesame oil
 Salt and black pepper to taste
 2 cups Chicken stock***
Let's make the sauce:
1

Mix together cornflour, chicken stock and soy sauce, then add in remaining ingredients.

Marinate the chicken:
2

Pour some of the sauce we just prepared over the chicken, mix to coat, set aside to marinate for 5 minutes.

Don't forget to cook the noodles:
3

Bring water to boil. Add the noodles and cook for 5 minutes, then drain.

Now comes the fun part:
4

Heat vegetable oil in wok or large frying pan over medium high heat.

5

Add garlic and white onions and stir fry for 30 seconds, don't let it burn.

6

Add chicken and stir fry until cooked, about 5 minutes.

7

Add all remaining vegetables and the sauce. Cook until vegetables are mostly wilted.

8

Add the cooked noodles and sesame oil and stir fry for 1 minute, tossing constantly.

* You can find the Chow Mein Noodles in the Chinese section.
** I prefer to use Kikkoman soy sauce.
*** Instead of chicken stock, you can use 1 chicken bouillon per cup of water.
