***Method***

《Preparing the noodle》
- Usually the noodle sticks together in the package. Soak the noodle in hot water for 2-3 minutes then it will loosen itself. Do not boil the noodle as we don’t want to overcook it. Drain it. - Then place it in airy area to dry out. Or use kitchen towel if you are really hungry.

《Preparing the chicken》
- As the noodle is in long strip size, we also cut the chicken breast into strip size. It’s good for stir fry and would be easier to eat with the noodle

- Marinate the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon of soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper powder.

- Chicken breast is very lean and can get toughen easily during stir fry, to make it tender and juicy, add a teaspoon of cornstarch as tenderiser and a tablespoon of water which will be absorbed by the chicken

《Preparing the vegetables》
- For the vegetables, you can use any vegetables you like. Here I have 1/2 cup of onion, 1/2 of carrot and 1 cup of Chinese chives which has very nice garlic flavour. Also cut all the them into strips about 2 inches long.

《Preparing the sauce》
- Mix 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of dark soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce which is the soul of the sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of Chinese cooking wine to give more fragrance.

〈Cooking (The cooking time is short as the whole process is in high heat) 〉
《Cook the chicken 》
- Heat up the wok, then heat up a teaspoon of cooking oil. Make sure the cooking surface is coated with oil. By doing this, your food will not stick on the wok.
- Add the chicken. Place the chicken evenly on the wok and cook for 30 seconds
Then flip to another side. Do the same.
Then stir fry for 1 minute to cook the meat. Then set aside.
