Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) chicken breast, thinly sliced into bite-sized strips
- 3-4 heads (300g) baby bok choy, ends trimmed and leaves separated
- 1 medium (110g) carrot, julienned
- 2 tbsp (30ml) vegetable oil
- 3 cloves (9g) garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp (6g) fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup (60ml) soy sauce
- 1 tbsp (15ml) honey
- 1 tbsp (15ml) rice vinegar
- 1 tsp (5ml) toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp (3g) cornstarch
- 8 oz (225g) dried egg noodles
Instructions:
- Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a small bowl until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Note: This prevents white clumps in your finished glaze
- Heat 1 tbsp (15ml) of vegetable oil in a large wok or non stick skillet over medium high heat.
- Add the chicken in a single layer. Let it sit undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until a golden brown sear develops, then toss until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tbsp (15ml) of oil to the same pan. Toss in the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant and smelling nutty.
- Add the julienned carrots and baby bok choy. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes until the bok choy leaves are just wilted but the stems remain crisp tender.
- Return the cooked chicken to the pan and add the pre cooked noodles.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and toss continuously for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and glazes the ingredients.
- Remove from heat immediately to prevent the noodles from overcooking.
