Description

A flavorful stir-fried chicken and mushroom dish with tender rice noodles, coated in a savory sauce and infused with garlic, ginger, and spring onions. Perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 400g (14 oz) chicken thighs, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp dark sweet soy sauce
  • ½ tsp ground white pepper
  • ¼ cup oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  • 1 onion, sliced into wedges
  • 4cm piece (about 40g/1.4 oz) finely julienned ginger
  • 150g (5 oz) mixed mushrooms (e.g., shiitake and wood ear mushrooms), trimmed and sliced
  • 150g (5 oz) rice stick noodles
  • 3 spring onions, trimmed and cut into batons

Instructions

  1. Combine the chicken, dark sweet soy sauce, and ground white pepper in a bowl. Set aside to marinate briefly.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together the oyster sauce, fish sauce, and sugar to make the stir-fry sauce.
  3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat for cooking the noodles later.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add the garlic and onion and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
  5. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until almost cooked through.
  6. Add the julienned ginger and sliced mushrooms, stir-fry for an additional minute until the mushrooms begin to soften. Turn off the heat temporarily.
  7. Cook the rice stick noodles in the boiling water for 2 minutes or until just tender. Drain well.
  8. Add the cooked noodles to the chicken and mushroom stir-fry. Turn the heat back on to high.
  9. Pour in the prepared sauce and add the spring onions. Stir-fry everything together until well combined and heated through.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with firm tofu and use vegetarian oyster sauce.
  • Use fresh rice noodles if available and skip the boiling step.
  • Adjust the spice level by adding sliced chili peppers during stir-frying.
