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, is it the light or dark soy sauce used in this recipe please ?
Light.
This is delicious. The chicken thigh turns out so tender! My fussy toddler loved the dish. He ate it the first night and then as leftovers a couple of nights later. Thatโs huge! Thank you it was nice and quick too!

Thank you for this amazing recipe. It’s the closest I’ve come to cooking chinese food that tastes like a restaurant. It’s actually better than most chinese restaurants. :)
My 9 year old who doesn’t eat chicken unless it’s breaded or fried had two servings! This is going to be my go to marinade!
Awesome!?
Good
Wow, that was delicious and so darn easy. I have one picky child and she said it was outstanding (the other child also inhaled it, but l knew she wasn’t going to be a problem.) I used frozen lo mein noodles which I cooked for 5 minutes and put to the side while l cooked the chicken (which was chicken breast tenderloins, so I can’t even imagine how much better it would have been with thigh/leg meat.) The marinade was amazing – I didn’t think a 15 minutes soak could make such a difference, but it did. Mixed it all together, served it up and can’t wait until the next time I make it. There were no leftovers, which was so sad.
Very good dish. Replaced the cabbage with beansprouts and thought it went perfect with the dish. Also added a couple eggs. Great marinade too! 5/5
Yay!
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
Egg noodles are called ่้ข I think, but in the US, it’s labeled as Chow Mein.
