  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil well in a large wok. Your wok should be nice and hot before adding the chicken to it. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 5 minutes or until the chicken starts to brown and is no longer pink inside. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside. Don't overcrowd the chicken, you might need to do this in 2 batches.

Notes

  1. For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce for 15-30 minutes before cooking.
  2. Vegetarian? Swap chicken for firm tofu and use a vegetarian oyster sauce.
  3. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of water or broth to refresh the noodles.
  4. If you love extra sauce, consider doubling the sauce ingredients and drizzling more on the finished dish.
