Recipe and Method: Stir-fried Glass Noodles with Oyster Sauce and Chicken
This simple and delicious dish features chewy glass noodles and a rich, flavorful sauce.
Ingredients
1 small package of dried glass noodles (approximately 50-80 grams)
150-200 grams of chicken (breast or thigh), cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil for stir-frying
Vegetables of your choice (e.g., shredded carrots/pieces, shredded cabbage, chopped celery/scallions), approximately 1 cup
A little water/stock (for stir-frying glass noodles)
Ingredients for the sauce
2 tablespoons of oyster sauce
1-1.5 tablespoons of light soy sauce/seasoning sauce
1 teaspoon of sugar (adjust to taste)
A little sweet dark soy sauce/sweet soy sauce (for added color)
A pinch of ground pepper
How to make it
Prepare the glass noodles: Soak the dried glass noodles in water until soft (about 10-15 minutes) or according to package instructions. Once softened, drain and cut into slightly shorter pieces (for easier stir-frying and serving). Set aside.
Prepare the chicken and vegetables: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Prepare all the vegetables.
Make the sauce: Mix oyster sauce, light soy sauce, sugar, sweet dark soy sauce, and ground pepper in a small bowl. Mix well. Set aside.
Heat a pan, add minced garlic and fry until fragrant. Add chicken and stir-fry until almost cooked. Season with a little of the prepared seasoning sauce.
Add vegetables: Add vegetables that take longer to cook, such as carrots, and stir-fry first, followed by other vegetables, such as cabbage. Stir-fry until the vegetables begin to soften and are cooked.
Add glass noodles: Add the soaked glass noodles, followed by the remaining seasoning sauce. Add a little water or broth to help the glass noodles absorb the flavors and prevent them from drying out and sticking to the pan. Stir-fry until the noodles are cooked through and translucent.
Add chopped spring onions/celery (if available) and stir-fry quickly to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired (e.g., add more soy sauce/fish sauce for saltiness, or sugar for sweetness).
To serve: Turn off the heat and ladle the stir-fried glass noodles onto a plate. Serve hot.
Well-balanced flavor: This dish boasts a distinct salty, sweet, and aromatic flavor from oyster sauce and various soy sauces, with a hint of fried garlic and pepper.
Crisp vegetables: The vegetables add a different dimension of texture than the soft glass noodles, while maintaining a crisp texture that doesn't feel greasy.
This makes this another delicious dish that's easy to make, nutritious, and delicious for both children and adults.
