Adam Liaw's chicken lo mein stir-fry

This is sponsored content for Lilydale

These stirred noodles are much easier to make than fried noodles, as they essentially stew and absorb the rich sauce.

INGREDIENTS

• 400g Lilydale skinless chicken thighs, thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 3-4 thick slices of ginger, bruised
• 3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
• 1 small carrot, cut into matchsticks
• 1 small red capsicum, cut into strips
• 4 thin spring onions, cut into 5cm lengths
• 10 snowpeas, trimmed and halved on an angle
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 2 tsp sesame oil
• a pinch of caster sugar
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 500g thick fresh Hokkien noodles

METHOD

1. Combine the chicken with 1 tablespoon of the dark soy sauce.
2. Heat a wok until it is very hot and add in the oil around the edges so it runs into the bottom. Add in the ginger first and then after a few seconds, the garlic. Toss in the oil until the garlic starts to brown, then add in the chicken. Stir-fry the chicken until it starts to brown.
3. Add the carrot, capsicum, snow peas and spring onion and toss to coat, then add the remaining 2 tablespoons of dark soy sauce plus the oyster sauce, sugar, sesame oil and chicken stock. Bring to the boil. Taste the sauce – it should be strong and flavourful.
4. Poke a few holes in the bag of noodles and massage gently to loosen them. Add in the noodles and stir to combine. Continue to cook for about 2-3 minutes until the noodles are softened but still al dente, then serve.
