- 2 chicken breasts, skinless and boneless, cut into thin strips
- 10 oz. (284 g) fresh egg noodles
- 3 tablespoons (45ml) vegetable oil, divided
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup (240 ml) trimmed snow peas
- 1 cup (240 ml) baby corn halved lengthwise
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Shaoxing wine
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) oyster sauce
- 1 ½ tablespoons (22.5 ml) sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) light soy sauce
- ½ tablespoon (8 ml) dark soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) sugar
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) finely chopped scallions
Marinade:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) sesame oil

Method:
To make marinade, in a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch.
Add chicken strips and toss until completely coated. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add egg noodles to boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes. Strain noodles.
Heat half of the vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes. Flip, and repeat. Once slightly crispy on both sides, remove noodles from hot pan. Set aside.
Add remaining vegetable oil to wok, and heat over medium-high heat.
Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Add chicken strips in marinade and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add snow peas and baby corn, and cook for another 4-5 minutes.
Deglaze with Shaoxing wine.
Add oyster sauce, sesame oil, light and dark soy sauce, sugar, and scallions and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked.
Remove from heat.
Place crispy noodles on individual serving plates, and top with chicken mixture.
Serve.
