Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Marinate Chicken: In a large bowl, combine sliced chicken thighs with 2 teaspoons of oyster sauce. Mix well and let rest for 15 minutes.
  2. Prepare Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of regular soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of white sugar, 1 tablespoon of white vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of water.
  3. Cook Chicken: Heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until cooked. Remove and keep warm.
  4. Sauté Veggies: In the same skillet, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil, minced garlic, and chopped Chinese broccoli. Stir-fry for 30-60 seconds.
  5. Scramble Eggs: Push veggies to the side of the skillet, add 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil, and pour in 2 beaten eggs. Scramble for about 1 minute, then mix with veggies.
  6. Combine Noodles and Sauce: Add cooked noodles to the skillet with the sauce mixture. Toss for 1-2 minutes over medium heat until well coated.
  7. Final Combine and Char: Fold in the cooked chicken and cook without stirring for an additional 30-60 seconds to allow char.
