Ingredients
- 400g (14 oz) chicken thighs, skinless, boneless, thinly sliced (or chicken breast)
- 500g (1 lb) hokkien noodles or lo mein, prepared per packet, rinsed and drained
- 1 tbsp peanut oil (or neutral oil)
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 7 green onions, cut into 5 cm (2″) lengths (white and green parts separated)
- 5 cups green cabbage, sliced ~1 cm thick (Napa/Chinese cabbage also works)
- Sauce:
- 2 tbsp kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)
- 1/4 cup fish sauce
- 1 pinch white pepper (or black pepper)
- Optional:
- 1 tbsp or more chili crisp, chili paste, or sriracha (to taste)
Instructions
- Mix Sauce: In a small bowl, combine kecap manis, fish sauce, and white pepper.
- Season Chicken: Toss sliced chicken with 1 tbsp of the sauce mixture (no need to marinate).
- Cook Chicken: Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over high heat. Add chicken and cook for about 2 minutes.
- Add garlic and the white parts of the green onions. Cook for another 30 seconds, stirring frequently, until chicken is just cooked through.
- Add Cabbage: Add sliced cabbage and cook for about 1½ minutes, until it softens slightly.
- Noodles & Sauce: Add the prepared noodles and half of the remaining sauce. Toss for about 1 minute until noodles begin to absorb the sauce.
- Add the remaining sauce and chili crisp or hot sauce if using. Toss for another minute until everything is evenly coated and the sauce is absorbed.
- Finish: Add the green parts of the green onions and toss for 20 seconds until just wilted.
- Serve immediately in bowls and enjoy hot.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked or fresh noodles for speed—just rinse and drain before adding.
- Substitute chicken with tofu or shrimp for variation.
- Adjust spice to taste with chili paste or sriracha.
- Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
