Instructions
- All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
- Chop the chicken into chunks, roughly an inch in size.
- Place it into a bowl with 2 tbsp sesame oil, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp cassareep, ½ tsp ground pepper, 1 tbsp dried thyme, 1 tsp Chinese 5 spice, 2 tsp honey, and 2 tsp garlic powder.
- Mix well before covering with a lid or plastic wrap and setting aside to marinate. (If you're marinating it overnight, put it in the fridge and finish the recipe the next day).
- Shred the green cabbage. This can be done by thinly slicing it with a sharp knife or by using a potato peeler to grate it. Set aside.
- Finely chop the green onions. Use a potato peeler to grate the carrot. Cut the stem off the broccoli so you have only florets. Cut the beans into even segments about 2 inches wide. Set aside.
- Destem and deseed the bell peppers before cutting them into thin strips. Repeat the process with the wiri wiri pepper. Set aside.
- Use a fine grater to grate roughly 1 inch of fresh ginger. Set aside.
- Peel the onion and finely chop. Finely chop or press the garlic. Set aside.
- Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add ½ tsp salt and 1 tbsp olive oil.
- Once the water is boiling, add the noodles and cook according to the packet or until they are soft.
- Drain the cooked noodles and rinse with cold water to remove excess starch, then drain again.
- Transfer the noodles to a large mixing bowl away from heat. Add 2 tbsp sesame oil, ½ tsp ground pepper, ½ tsp Chinese 5 spice powder, ½ tsp salt, and 1 tsp garlic powder. Mix well and set aside.
- Place a large skillet over medium high heat and place 1 ½ tsp of oil in it to cover the surface (the kind of oil doesn't matter).
- Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken to the skillet, including all the juices. Sauté for 5 minutes until all sides of the chicken have browned.
- Reduce the heat to medium and let the chicken cook for roughly 10 minutes or until cooked through. You can check chicken's doneness by cutting it open; if it's pink on the inside, it needs more time. You can also check with a meat thermometer. Done chicken will be at least 165F.
- Once the chicken is done or mostly done, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for 2-5 minutes or until the onion becomes soft and transparent.
- Add all the prepared vegetables and carefully mix amongst the meat.
- Place a lid over the pan and allow to steam cook for 5 or so minutes (you may need to add a tiny bit of water if there is no liquid left) or until the veggies reach your preferred softness.
- If there is liquid left after the veggies have steamed, remove the kid and allow it to cook off.
- Add the noodles to the pan and mix in. Allow to cook until the noodles have heated through.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
