Ingredients
Sauce
- 5 tablespoons kecap manis*
- 1 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon sambal adjust to spice your level
- 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
Ingredients
- 8 oz fresh egg noodles*
- 5 garlic cloves minced
- 1 shallot finely minced
- 1 Thai chili thinly sliced, optional
- 4 oz chicken thinly sliced
- 1 carrot julienned
- 1/2 cup cabbage finely sliced
- 2 eggs beaten
- 3/4 cup bean sprouts optional
- 2 green onions cut into 1-inch pieces
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the sauce ingredients, then set aside.
- Prepare fresh egg noodles according to the package. Set aside.
- Heat a large wok or pan on medium-high heat. Add about 1 tablespoon of oil then add in garlic, shallots, and Thai chili (if using). Saute for a few seconds, until soft and fragrant.
- Add in chicken and cook until it’s about 80% done - mostly cooked with a little pink showing.
- Add in carrots and cabbage to the pan and cook for 2 - 3 minutes, or until they begin to get tender.
- Add in the noodles and pour the sauce on top. Combine until well coated. If your noodles are looking dry, add splash of water to loosen up the sauce.
- Push the ingredients off to one side of the pan and add in a little more oil to the empty part of the pan. Pour in the eggs and cook until eggs are done. Combine with the rest of the noodles.
- Turn off the heat then finish with the bean sprouts and green onions. Mix together until they’re wilted from the residual heat. Enjoy!
Notes
- Kecap Manis: Kecap manis is an Indonesian sweet soy sauce with a thick syrupy consistency. You can find it in your local Asian market or Amazon. If you can’t find kecap manis, you can also use other sweet soy sauce available.
- Egg Noodles: I found my fresh egg noodles from my local Asian market in the refrigerated section. Alternatively, you can use instant ramen noodles and it’s really good as well! Just cook the instant ramen noodles before cooking the rest of the dish, drain, and follow the rest of the recipe.
