Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch chunks)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 small onion (sliced)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 1/4 tablespoon char siu sauce (or hoisin sauce)
- 1/4 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce
- 9 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1/8 cup sugar
- 4 tablespoons water
- 2 (8 ounce) packages chow mein noodles
- 1/2 cup peanuts
Instructions
- Cook the chow mein noodles according to packaged directions. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl combine sesame oil, char sui sauce, oyster sauce, chili garlic sauce, sugar, and water. Heat olive oil in a wok or large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and stir-fry for about a minute.
- Add the chicken and stir-fry for about 3 minutes. Add the sauce mixture to the pan and simmer until the chicken is fully cooked (the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees). Stir in peanuts.
- Toss the chicken and sauce with the chow mein noodles.
Notes
- Chow mein noodles cook fast so it would be best to try and time the cooking of the noodles with the chicken and sauce being cooked.
