Ingredients
For the chicken:
- 8 ounces boneless skinless chicken thighs (cut into thin strips; can substitute boneless skinless chicken breast)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon light soy sauce
To finish the dish:
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 6 lices ginger
- 8 scallions (julienned)
- 1 red chili (sliced, optional)
- 1 pound cooked hokkien noodles or fresh lo mein noodles
- 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine (can substitute clear rice wine or dry sherry)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
Instructions
- Combine the chicken with 1 teaspoon cornstarch, 1 teaspoon oil, and 1 teaspoon soy sauce.
- Heat a wok over high heat until it's lightly smoking. Add 1 tablespoon of oil, and stir-fry the chicken until it just turns opaque. Remove from the wok and set aside.
- Add 2 more tablespoons of oil to the wok, and add the ginger slices. Fry for 1 minute, and add the scallions and red chili. Stir-fry until the scallions begin to wilt, about 10 seconds.
- Add the noodles, and stir-fry, adding a sprinkling of hot water if the noodles are stuck together.
- When the noodles have loosened and warmed up, add the Shaoxing wine, 1 1/2 tablespoons light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and cooked chicken. Stir-fry until combined, about 1-2 minutes. Serve!
