Chicken Mei Fun

Step 1

Combine the chicken and the marinade in a medium-sized bowl. Mix well and set aside.

Step 2

Cook or soak vermicelli noodles in boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. I like to cook the noodles 1 minute less than the package indicates. Once done, drain and set aside. Use a pair of scissors to cut the vermicelli into short strands so it’s easier to stir fry with.

Step 3

Mix all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

Step 4

Add 1 tablespoon of oil into a big skillet and heat over medium-high heat until hot. Add the chicken and spread out so the pieces are not overlapping. Sear until the bottom is lightly browned, 2 minutes or so. Flip to cook the other side until the chicken is just cooked through. Transfer to a plate.

Step 5

Pour in 1/2 tablespoon of oil and add the beaten eggs into the same pan. Lightly scramble the eggs until just cooked. Transfer to the plate with the chicken.

Step 6

Add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil and the garlic, ginger and onion into the same pan. Stir and cook for 1 minute.

Step 7

Add the carrot and cabbage. Cook and stir for 1 minute, until the carrot just starts to turn soft.

Step 8

Add the noodles, cooked chicken, green onion and sauce mixture. Toss with a pair of tongs until the sauce is mixed evenly. Add back the eggs and toss again. Transfer everything to serving plates and serve hot as a main.
