Ingredients
Chicken
- 16 oz. chicken breast thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
Chow Mein
- 12 oz chow mein noodles
- 1 small onion thinly sliced
- 3 scallions cut into 1-inch pieces, whites and greens separated
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- ½ cup shredded carrots
Chow Mein Sauce
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
Instructions
- Place the thinly sliced chicken breast in a bowl and marinate with Shaoxing wine, salt, and cornstarch for 15 minutes.
- While the chicken marinates, thinly slice the onion and cut the scallions into 1-inch pieces, separating the whites and greens. Prepare your cabbage and carrots.
- In a small bowl, combine dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and Shaoxing wine. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
- Heat a pan over medium-high heat with a bit of oil. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, then remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the scallion whites and onions. Cook until slightly softened, then add the cabbage and carrots and cook until wilted.
- Add in the chow mein noodles, followed by the cooked chicken and sauce. Toss everything together until the sauce is absorbed and evenly coats the noodles.
- Finish by adding the scallion greens and toss until just wilted.
- Serve in a bowl or enjoy straight from the pan.
