Ingredients You’ll Need

For the perfect Chicken Chowmein, you’ll need fresh ingredients that elevate the taste:

For the chicken and noodles:

  • 250g boneless chicken, thinly sliced
  • 200g egg noodles or chowmein noodles
  • 1 small carrot, julienned
  • ½ bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2-3 spring onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

For the secret sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chili sauce (optional, for a spicy kick)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 50ml chicken stock or water

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

  1. Prepare the noodles:
    Boil the noodles in salted water for 3–4 minutes until soft but still firm. Drain and toss lightly with a teaspoon of oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook the chicken:
    Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large wok or pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and stir-fry until cooked through and slightly golden, about 5–6 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. Stir-fry the vegetables:
    In the same wok, add another tablespoon of oil. Toss in garlic and ginger, sautéing for 30 seconds until aromatic. Add carrots, bell pepper, and half of the spring onions. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
  4. Prepare the secret sauce:
    Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, chili sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, sugar, and chicken stock in a small bowl. This sauce is the heart of the dish—it balances sweet, savory, and tangy flavors to give your chowmein that restaurant-style taste.
  5. Combine everything:
    Return the cooked chicken to the wok, pour in the secret sauce, and toss well. Add the cooked noodles and stir-fry for another 2–3 minutes, ensuring the sauce evenly coats the noodles and chicken.
  6. Garnish and serve:
    Sprinkle the remaining spring onions over the chowmein. Serve hot for the best taste. Pair it with a side of spring rolls or fried dumplings for a complete restaurant-style experience.

Tips for Perfect Chicken Chowmein

  • Use high heat: Stir-frying at high heat ensures a smoky flavor, which is often the secret behind restaurant-style chowmein.
  • Prep ingredients first: Everything cooks quickly in a wok, so have your chicken, vegetables, and sauce ready beforehand.
  • Noodles matter: Egg noodles or chowmein noodles give a soft but slightly chewy texture that complements the sauce beautifully.
  • Adjust the sauce: Taste and tweak the secret sauce to suit your palate. Add more chili if you like it spicy or a bit of sugar for a hint of sweetness.
