Chicken Noodles - Stir-fried with chicken and egg noodles, this easy chicken noodle recipe is delicious, easy to make, and perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Chinese Chicken Noodles
This chicken noodles recipe was inspired by a recipe book that I flipped through at my grocery store.
The timing couldn’t be better, as I had some fresh egg noodles in the fridge. Then, I was able to make these mouthwatering chicken noodles for lunch yesterday.
How To Prepare The Chicken
The best part of these noodles was the chicken.
I marinated the chicken with some soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, sesame oil, white pepper, and a secret ingredient that made all the difference: Worcestershire sauce.
I then pan-fried the chicken, and topped the simple fried egg noodles with the chicken, including the delicious juice from the chicken.
The Best Noodles To Use
This noodle recipe is so easy to make, with ingredients that you can get at regular grocery stores.
If you can’t find fresh egg noodles (also labeled as chow mein or steamed chow mein in the United States), you can always use dried egg noodles.

Hi! Great recipe. I have a question, Is there any substitute for Shaoxing Wine? I can’t seem to find it in my country.
Thanks!
You can skip it.
Mmm! Look at those colors. I love making stir fried noodles too – such a delicious and simple dish. Very beautiful photographs, I just want to stick my face into this dish..;)
Hi Bee
In your Chicken Noodles recipe the marinade calls for Shaoxing wine- can you suggest where it can that be purchased and brands you would recommend buying/using or what can be substituted in it’s place if I am unable to locate an acceptable product?
Sincerely, J
Hi Janyne, you can skip it if you can’t find. If not, you can use any Chinese brand clear rice wine.
I made this for the second time tonight, i cut down on the amount of cabbage and used spaghetti. The first time my sauce to pasta ratio was way off and they were quite bland, tonight i perfected it. I wanted seconds but it was all gone! I asked before-but now i cant found my comment, what are egg noodles called in Chinese, the local supermarkets are stocked with so many noodles and i dont know what to look for. Thanks for your great recipes
What could I use to substitute the oyster sauce? Seafood allergy in this household so nothing fish based can be used. Thanks for you help! I’ve pinned this recipe and looking forward to trying this out.
You can just use more soy sauce and add a bit more sugar.
Hoisin sauce
These were delicious! The chicken marinade is to die for! Thanks for a yummy and easy recipe!
Ive made this recipe a dozen times over the years… and absolute winner each and every time!
Hi Momo, thanks so much for your sweet comment. I appreciate it.
I made this yesterday and i loved it and its in my rotation now. Thank you so much Bee
Where do you find fresh egg noodles?
Asian stores.
Ownnnn….. I’m so jealous of your style of cooking…. I don’t heve these things….. looks so easy!!! I love to cook, but sometimes it’s good to have some things easy to do…..
I have made these noodles twice and they are quite easy and quick to prepare and simply scrumptious. Replaced egg noodles with yellow noodles, and chicken thighs with chicken breast. The finished dish looks so pretty – perfect for future pot lucks. Eaten with chopped cilipadi in light soy sauce (a must-have condiment for noodle dishes in my household). Thank you so much for sharing! DZ from Malaysia
Thanks DZ.
