Ingredients
UnitsScale
6ounces linguini
2 tablespoons sesame oil
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2cup water (divided)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
1lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into thin strips)
12ounces broccoli florets
4 green onions (chopped)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
Crushed red pepper flakes (for sprinkling)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add linguini and cook according to package directions (until al dente). Drain and rinse under cold water. Toss the linguini with sesame oil.
While noodles are boiling, in a small bowl combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, corn starch and a ¼ cup of cold water. Mix well.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the chicken to the wok and stir-fry until fully cooked (the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees). Remove from the pan and transfer to a plate. Add another tablespoon of vegetable oil to the wok, and the remaining half of the chicken. Stir-fry until fully cooked. Transfer to the plate.
Add the broccoli florets and the remaining ¼ cup of water to the wok. Cover and cook until the broccoli in tender and the water has evaporated (about 3 minutes). Add green onion and garlic and stir-fry for 1 minute. Return the chicken to the wok, pour in the sauce mixture and linguini noodles, and toss to coat. Cook until heated through. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
