Stir-Fried Chicken and Noodles in a Hurry

1Bring a pot of water (½ cup) to a boil and cook the instant noodles (150 grams) according to package instructions until just tender (usually 2-3 minutes). Drain and set aside.

2Heat vegetable oil (2 tablespoons) in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

3Add the minced garlic (3 cloves) and sliced onion (1 small) to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

4Add the thinly sliced chicken breasts to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.

5In a small bowl, mix soy sauce (2 tablespoons), oyster sauce (1 tablespoon) (if using), sugar (1 teaspoon), black pepper (¼ teaspoon), and water (½ cup).

6Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the chicken. Pour the sauce mixture over the noodles and chicken.

7Toss everything together and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the sauce and flavors. Adjust salt if needed.

8Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions (2).

9Serve immediately while hot for a quick, filling meal.
