  • 1 medium chicken breast fillet (uncooked)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic paste
  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon white pepper

Chow Mein Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Chow Mein Stir Fry

  • 125g noodles (dried) or around 275g (cooked)
  • 1 tablespoon sunflower oil
  • 120g beansprouts
  • ½ medium onion sliced

Garnish

  • 1 chopped spring onion optional

Instructions

  • Make the marinade by adding the garlic paste, ginger paste, soy sauce, sesame oil and white pepper to a small bowl then mix the ingredients together. Add the chicken breast to the marinade and fully coat the chicken in the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper and preheat the oven to gas mark 6/400oF/200oC/180oC fan. Place the marinated chicken breasts along with the marinade on the baking tray and bake in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, allow the chicken to cool then chop it into small pieces and set aside.
  • Add the oyster sauce, soy sauce, light brown sugar and sesame oil to a small bowl then mix and set aside. Place a pot of water on a high heat and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling add the noodles and cook or soak according to the package instructions. Strain the noodles, rinse with cold water then set aside. Skip this step if using ready cooked noodles.
  • To a heavy duty pan or wok, add the sunflower oil and allow to heat on a high heat. Once the oil is slightly sizzling, add the beansprouts, chopped onions and stir fry for around 2 minutes. Add the noodles and chicken then continue to stir fry for a further 1 minute. Pour in the chow mein sauce and combine well. Remove from the heat and serve. Optionally you garnish with chopped spring onions.
