Instructions

  • Make the marinade by adding the garlic paste, ginger paste, soy sauce, sesame oil and white pepper to a small bowl then mix the ingredients together. Add the chicken breast to the marinade and fully coat the chicken in the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper and preheat the oven to gas mark 6/400oF/200oC/180oC fan. Place the marinated chicken breasts along with the marinade on the baking tray and bake in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, allow the chicken to cool then chop it into small pieces and set aside.
  • To make the chow mein sauce, add the oyster sauce, soy sauce, light brown sugar and sesame oil to a small bowl then mix and set aside.
  • Place a pot of water on a high heat and bring to a boil. Once the water is boiling add the noodles and cook or soak according to the package instructions. Strain the noodles, rinse with cold water then set aside.
  • To a large frying pan, add the sunflower oil and allow to heat on a high heat. Once the oil is slightly sizzling, add the sliced onions and stir fry for around 2 minutes. Add the noodles and chicken with any juices then continue to stir fry for a further 1 minute. Add in the beansprouts then pour in the chow mein sauce and combine well.
  • Remove from the heat and serve. Optionally you garnish with chopped spring onions.
