For the Chicken Marinade
  • 500 g chicken thighs, diced Tender and juicy for the best flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce For a savory umami kick.
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil Adds a delightful nuttiness.
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha or chili paste For that signature heat.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder A staple for depth of flavor.
For the Noodles and Vegetables
  • 250 g noodles (egg or rice noodles work well) Choose your favorite type for texture.
  • 1 piece bell pepper, sliced Adds sweetness and vibrant color.
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned For a crunch and a pop of orange.

  • 3 pieces green onions, chopped For garnish and fresher flavor.
For the Stir-Fry Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons oyster sauce Deep flavor enriches the dish.
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce Sweetness that balances the heat.

Method
 

Marinate the Chicken
  1. In a bowl, combine the diced chicken with soy sauce, sesame oil, sriracha, and garlic powder. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables and noodles.
Prepare the Noodles
  1. Cook the noodles according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 4-5 minutes. Drain them and set aside. If using rice noodles, rinse them with cold water after cooking to prevent sticking.
Stir-fry the Chicken
  1. In a large skillet or wok over high heat, add a splash of cooking oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is starting to brown and cooked through.
Add the Vegetables
  1. Toss in the sliced bell pepper, carrot, and broccoli. Stir-fry everything together for another 3-4 minutes, or until the veggies are tender but still crisp.
Combine with Noodles
  1. Add the cooked noodles and stir-fry sauce to the pan. Mix everything together gently for about 2-3 minutes until the noodles are heated through and coated with the sauce.
Serve and Garnish
  1. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot and enjoy the vibrant colors and aromas that fill your kitchen!

Notes

Meal Prep: Marinate the chicken a few hours ahead or even the night before to deepen the flavors. Vegetarian Option: Substitute chicken with tofu or tempeh for a plant-based version. Heat Level: Adjust the sriracha according to your family's spice tolerance. Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop for best texture. Noodle Alternatives: Try using zucchini noodles for a low-carb version.
