Chicken chow mein

Step 1: Cook the Chow Mein Noodles
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the chow mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Chicken
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the sliced chicken breast and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Stir-Fry the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion, julienned carrot, and thinly sliced bell pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Add the bean sprouts and chopped green onions, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Step 4: Combine the Ingredients
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked chow mein noodles and toss everything together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5: Make the Chow Mein Sauce
To make The Best Chow Mein Sauce, you will need the following ingredients:
– 3 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
– 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 1/2 cup chicken broth

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and chicken broth. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture in the skillet.

Step 6: Cook and Serve
Cook everything together for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the noodles and vegetables. Remove from heat and serve hot.

Beef Chow Mein
For a beefy twist, replace the chicken with thin slices of beef steak. Cook the beef until browned and cooked to your liking before adding the vegetables and noodles.
