👨🍳 Step-by-step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Noodles
Cook noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.
Step 2: Stir-Fry the Chicken
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
Step 3: Cook the Vegetables
In the same pan, add garlic, carrots, bell pepper, and broccoli. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.

Return the chicken to the pan. Add the cooked noodles, soy sauce, and oyster/hoisin sauce. Toss everything together and stir-fry for another 2–3 minutes until evenly coated and hot.
Step 5: Serve
Serve immediately. Optionally garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, or a pinch of chili flakes.
💡 Tips
- For a vegetarian version, swap chicken with tofu or mushrooms.
- Add a splash of lime juice for freshness.
- Use pre-cut stir-fry veggie mixes to save time.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge and reheated the next day.
