Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Chicken Chow Mein
- Begin by slicing your boneless chicken breast or thighs into thin strips. In a bowl, combine the chicken with Shaoxing wine, cornstarch, and salt. Mix well to coat the chicken and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together chicken broth, additional Shaoxing wine, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, white pepper, and sesame oil until smooth and glossy.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, then add fresh chow mein noodles and cook according to package instructions, pulling them out 1 minute early. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add peanut oil. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer, searing for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
- In the same skillet, add more oil if needed, then garlic and ginger. Stir for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
- Toss in the shredded cabbage and julienned carrots, stir-frying for 1-2 minutes until tender yet vibrant.
- Add the drained chow mein noodles and seared chicken back into the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over and toss together until well coated.
- Finally, toss in the sliced Anaheim pepper and green onions, stirring for about 1 minute until heated through. Serve hot.
