  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Corn starch

Broth

  • 500 ml Water (2 cups) (Boiled)
  • 1 Chicken stock cube

Main Ingredients

  • 800 g Chicken breast (1.8 lb)
  • 2 Carrots (medium size)
  • 2 Zucchini (medium size)
  • 5 Eggs
  • 3 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • Garlic powder (to season)
  • Salt and pepper (to season)
  • 375 g Egg noodles (13.2 oz) (dry)
  • 2 litre Water (for boiling noodles)
  • 1 tbsp Salt (for boiling noodles)

  • 3 tbsp Sesame seeds (toasted)
  • 2 tbsp Scallion (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha sauce, mirin, garlic powder, honey, corn starch, fish sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and freshly grated ginger until well combined to create the flavorful sauce.
  2. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash the zucchini and peel the carrots. Cut both zucchini and carrots into thin sticks, ready for stir-frying.
  3. Cut the Chicken: Trim and slice the chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces for quick cooking.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir-fry until the chicken is fully cooked through, then set aside.
  5. Boil Chicken Broth: While cooking the chicken, bring water to a boil. Dissolve the chicken stock cube in 500 ml (2 cups) of the boiled water to prepare the broth.
  6. Stir-fry Vegetables: In the same wok or skillet, stir-fry the zucchini and carrot sticks for a few minutes until slightly softened but still crisp. Remove and set aside.
  7. Scramble the Eggs: Add a bit more vegetable oil to the wok and crack the eggs in. Scramble them until fully cooked and set aside with the vegetables.
  8. Cook the Noodles: Boil 2 liters of water with 1 tablespoon of salt. Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions, reducing the cooking time by 1 minute to keep them slightly firm. Drain thoroughly.
  9. Combine Noodles and Eggs: Add the drained noodles to the wok with the scrambled eggs and mix well to combine.
  10. Add Chicken and Vegetables: Incorporate the cooked chicken and stir-fried vegetables with the noodles and eggs, mixing all ingredients evenly.
  11. Add Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the noodle mixture and stir thoroughly to coat everything evenly.
  12. Thicken the Sauce: Pour the warm chicken broth over the dish and bring to a boil for 1 minute, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens and coats the noodles evenly.
  13. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro, chopped scallions, and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, increase the amount of Sriracha sauce or add fresh chili slices.
  • Vegetables can be swapped or added such as bell peppers or snap peas for different textures and flavors.
  • Make sure not to overcook the noodles to avoid a mushy texture; slightly undercooked noodles hold up better when stir-fried.
  • Fish sauce and Worcestershire sauce are optional but add complexity to the sauce; adjust based on dietary preferences.
  • Use fresh ginger for the best flavor; ginger powder can be substituted in a pinch but will alter taste.
