Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by slicing the boneless chicken into thin strips and placing them in a bowl. Add the light soy sauce and baking soda to the chicken, tossing until well-coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the sesame oil, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, and water. Whisk the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely and the sauces are well blended.
  3. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add vegetable oil. Once the oil shimmers, stir in the finely chopped garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet, spreading it out in a single layer. Sear without stirring for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown on one side, then stir until cooked through.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, add the flat rice noodles and prepared sauce mixture to the skillet. Toss gently until well coated and heated through.
  6. Fold in the sliced red and green bell peppers, mixing evenly. After about 2 minutes, add the bean sprouts and spring onions, stirring just until slightly wilted.
  7. Carefully transfer the Chicken Chow Fun to serving plates or a large serving dish, ensuring even distribution of chicken, noodles, and vegetables.

Notes

Avoid overcooking noodles to maintain texture. Use fresh noodles for best flavor. Incorporate baking soda for tender chicken. Taste sauce before combining with noodles. Store leftovers properly for freshest taste.
