Cooking
- Marinate the chicken.
- Cut chicken breast into bite-sized, thin slices.
- Put them into a bowl.
- Add cornstarch, salt, and Shaoxing rice wine.
- Mix and rub until there is no more liquid to be seen.
- Add 1 teaspoon of cooking oil and stir to coat the chicken pieces evenly.
- Prepare the noodles.
- Put dried mei fun into a large bowl.
- Pour in just boiled water to fully submerge the noodles.
- Let sit for 2 minutes.
- Drain well then cut the noodles into shorter, more manageable sections.
- Mix the seasoning.
- Add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, white pepper, and sesame oil to a small bowl.
- Mix well then set aside.
- Sear the chicken.
- Heat a wok/deep skillet until very hot.
- Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil (If using non-stick cookware, you need to add the oil first then start heating the wok/skillet).
- Swirl to coat a larger area of the wok.
- Put in the chicken slices and arrange them in a single layer.
- Once the bottom side browns slightly, flip and toss to sear further.
- As soon as the chicken no longer looks pink, transfer it out to a plate (do not overcook).
- Combine the dish.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to the vacant wok.
- Sizzle the white part of the scallions and minced garlic until fragrant (do not burn).
- Put in the noodles then use chopsticks to loosen them.
- Add bell pepper, mushrooms, and bean sprouts.
- Stir and toss constantly to evenly cook everything.
- Once the mushrooms begin to wilt, put the chicken back into the wok, along with the seasoning mixture and the green part of the scallions.
- Give everything a final stir to well distribute the sauce.
- Dish out and serve immediately.
