Savory Chicken Breast Stir-Fried Spaghetti

A post-work favorite combining tender marinated chicken breast, vibrant green and red chilies, and glossy spaghetti tossed in a rich, savory sauce.

Ingredients

• 200 g spaghetti
• 250 g chicken breast
• 2 green chilies
• 1 red chili
• 1 tbsp cooking wine
• 2 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tsp starch
• 1/2 tsp pepper powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp chicken essence
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 3 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions

1. 1Boil the spaghetti

   

   Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil and add the long spaghetti noodles. Cook them until they are fully done, then scoop them out and immediately rinse them with cold water. Set the noodles aside for later use.

   Tip: Rinsing the cooked spaghetti in cold water helps stop the cooking process and prevents the noodles from sticking together.
2. 2Stir-fry the chicken

   

   Heat some oil in a wok or large pan. Toss in the marinated diced chicken breast and stir-fry it continuously over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until it changes color and the surface appears browned.

   Tip: Marinating the chicken in advance with cooking wine, soy sauces, oyster sauce, and starch ensures the meat remains tender and flavorful.
3. 3Add the chilies

   

   Once the chicken is nicely browned, add the chopped green and red chilies to the wok. Continue to stir-fry everything together until the chilies become soft and release their aroma.

   Tip: Adjust the amount of chilies based on how fragrant and spicy you want the final dish to be.
4. 4Combine noodles and chicken

   

   Take the cooked and cooled spaghetti noodles that were set aside and transfer them directly into the wok with the chicken and chilies.

   Tip: Make sure the spaghetti is well-drained so no excess water dilutes the sauce.
5. 5Pour in the sauce

   

   Drizzle your pre-mixed savory sauce evenly over the noodles, chicken, and chilies in the wok. This will bring all the flavors together.

   Tip: Pre-mix the sauce (light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, chicken essence, starch, sugar, and water) in a small bowl beforehand so it can be added quickly without burning the other ingredients.
6. 6Toss and mix evenly

   

   Use a pair of wooden chopsticks to toss all the ingredients together. Mix continuously until the sauce coats every strand of pasta and the chicken evenly. Once everything is well combined and heated through, the dish is ready to eat.

   Tip: Using chopsticks instead of a spatula makes it much easier to lift and separate the noodles, ensuring an even coating of the sauce.
