Ingredients

Noodles and Sauce

  • 200 g (7 oz) dried fine egg noodles
  • 4 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)
  • ¼ tsp white pepper
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • ¼ tsp chilli flakes

Protein and Vegetables

  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 3 chicken breasts (chopped into bite size chunks)
  • 1 onion (peeled and sliced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)
  • 1 large carrot (peeled and sliced into matchsticks)
  • 1 large red pepper (deseeded and sliced)
  • 20 sugarsnap (snow) peas
  • 10 spring onions (scallions) (cut into 2”/5cm lengths)
  • 2 spring onions (scallions) (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Noodles: Boil a pan of water and cook the dried fine egg noodles for 3-4 minutes or until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking, then set aside.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the chopped chicken pieces and cook for 5-6 minutes until they are cooked through and lightly browned.
  3. Sauté the Onion: Add the sliced onion to the wok with the chicken and cook for an additional 2 minutes to soften the onion slightly.
  4. Add Vegetables and Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic, sliced carrot, red pepper, sugarsnap peas, and cut spring onions. Cook everything together for 1 minute while stirring to combine flavors.
  5. Combine Noodles and Sauces: Add the cooked noodles back into the wok with oyster sauce, soy sauce, kecap manis, and white pepper. Fry everything on high heat, tossing and mixing well until the noodles are heated through and evenly coated, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Plate the lo mein and sprinkle with the chopped spring onions, sesame seeds, and chilli flakes for added flavor and a touch of spice. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Rinsing the noodles with cold water after boiling stops the cooking process and helps prevent clumping.
  • Kecap manis adds a unique sweetness; if unavailable, a mix of soy sauce and a little brown sugar can substitute.
  • Adjust chilli flakes to taste depending on your preferred spice level.
  • Feel free to add different vegetables like mushrooms or broccoli for variety.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked thoroughly for food safety.
