Prep

Step 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add Salt and Egg Noodles. Cook until just tender, following the package time, about 4 minutes; drain and rinse under cold water, then drain well.
Step 2. Meanwhile, whisk Soy Sauce, Oyster Sauce, Cornstarch and Water in a small bowl until smooth.

Cook

Step 3. Heat two-thirds of the Vegetable Oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the noodles in two batches, spreading each flat and turning once, until browned in spots, about 6 minutes per batch. Transfer to plates.
Step 4. Heat the rest of the Vegetable Oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add Chicken Breast and cook, stirring, until browned and no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 5. Add Cabbage to the skillet and stir-fry over medium-high heat until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add Garlic and Ginger and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 6. Add Bean Sprouts and return the chicken to the skillet. Stir the sauce and pour it in; simmer, stirring, until the sprouts are hot and the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.

Finish & serve

Step 7. Spoon the chicken and vegetables over the crisp noodles and scatter Scallions on top.

Tips

Good to know

Let each batch of noodles sit undisturbed before turning so it has time to brown.

Swap it

Use vegetarian mushroom oyster sauce if you need to avoid shellfish.

Leftovers

Refrigerate leftovers promptly for up to 3 days and reheat until hot; the noodles will soften.

Good to know

Check that the chicken reaches 165°F in the thickest pieces.
