Or use kitchen towel if you are really hungry. 《Preparing the chicken》 - As the noodle is in long strip size, we also cut the chicken breast into strip size. It’s good for stir fry and would be easier to eat with the noodle - Marinate the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon of soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper powder. - Chicken breast is very lean and can get toughen easily during stir fry, to make it tender and juicy, add a teaspoon of cornstarch as tenderiser and a tablespoon of water which will be absorbed by the chicken 《Preparing the vegetables》 - For the vegetables, you can use any vegetables you like. Here I have 1/2 cup of onion, 1/2 of carrot and 1 cup of Chinese chives which has very nice garlic flavour. Also cut all the them into strips about 2 inches long. 《Preparing the sauce》 - Mix 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of dark soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce which is the soul of the sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of Chinese cooking wine to give more fragrance. 〈Cooking (The cooking time is short as the whole process is in high heat) 〉 《Cook the chicken 》 - Heat up the wok, then heat up a teaspoon of cooking oil. Make sure the cooking surface is coated with oil. By doing this, your food will not stick on the wok. - Add the chicken. Place the chicken evenly on the wok and cook for 30 seconds Then flip to another side. Do the same. Then stir fry for 1 minute to cook the meat. Then set aside. 《Cook the vegetables and combine 》Cooking Chopsticks - Heat up the wok again, then heat up a tablespoon of cooking oil - Add the onion, stir fry for 30 seconds to release aroma - Add the carrots and Chinese chives.
