Preparation

  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add sliced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through.
  4. Add garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
  5. Add the bell peppers, carrots, and broccoli; cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes.

  7. Pour soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil over the noodle mixture. Toss everything together until well combined.

Notes

Use high heat and a roomy skillet or wok to ensure ingredients sear instead of steam. Slice chicken thin against the grain for tender bites. Cook noodles just until al dente as they will finish cooking when tossed with the hot pan. Prepping all ingredients before starting is key for stir-frying. Adjust seasoning as needed.
