  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and black pepper. Set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 5–7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Notes

  • Add mushrooms or shredded cabbage for extra veggies.
  • Spice it up with chili garlic sauce or red pepper flakes.
  • Swap chicken for shrimp, beef, or tofu.
  • Make it gluten-free with tamari or coconut aminos and gluten-free noodles.
  • Refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet with a splash of water or soy sauce.
