Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 oz boneless chicken breast or thighs (can substitute with tofu or shrimp)
  • 3 tbsp Shaoxing wine (or chicken broth for non-alcoholic option)
  • 2 tsp cornstarch (for marinating chicken)
  • 1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce (or vegetarian option)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (or light soy sauce to reduce sodium)
  • 2 tsp sugar (adjust according to preference)
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper (or ground black pepper if preferred)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil (optional but recommended)
  • 2 tbsp peanut oil (or vegetable oil as substitute)
  • 4 cups shredded cabbage (or pre-cut coleslaw blend)
  • 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
  • 1 tbsp ginger (minced)
  • 10 oz chow mein noodles (or 6 oz dried, using fresh recommended)
  • 2 small carrots (julienned)
  • 1 anaheim or similar pepper (optional)
  • 4 green onions (cut into pieces)

Instructions

  1. Combine sliced chicken in a bowl with Shaoxing wine, cornstarch, and salt. Mix until well coated, then let it rest for about 10 minutes to absorb flavors.
  2. In another bowl, mix together chicken broth, Shaoxing wine, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, white pepper, and sesame oil. Stir well until combined and set aside.
  3. Boil chow mein noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  4. In a nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil over high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add the remaining oil along with garlic and ginger. Sauté for about a minute until aromatic, then toss in the cabbage and carrots, cooking until tender yet crisp.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, along with the cooked noodles and prepared sauce. Toss everything together to coat evenly and heat through for another 2 minutes.
  7. Stir in the peppers and green onions, cooking until heated through. Remove from the heat and serve hot.
