Servings

1 lb of silver needle noodle
1/2 lb (250g) of chicken breasts or chicken thighs cut into small pieces
1 small red or white onion, cut into strips
1 clove garlic, finely minced
Around 150g of bell peppers, cut into strips
Handful of spinach, chopped roughly
Handful of green onions, chopped
Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon each of Oyster sauce, Satay Sauce, and Soy Sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional, but for some spice, 1 teaspoon chili flakes

Note: I am using store bought silver needle noodles. Also, you can also add or remove any of the vegetables as you like! Cabbage is a good choice.

Marinate the chicken with approximately 1/2 tablespoon of the sauce.
In a pan on medium-high heat, fry the onions, garlic, and bell peppers. Remove from the pan after around 2 - 4 minutes. You don't want the vegetables to be overcooked.
Add the chicken and fry for 5 - 7 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove from heat.
Bring a pot of hot water to a boil. Add the silver needle noodle and boil for around 3 - 5 minutes. Adjust the time depending on the thickness of the noodle. The noodle is fully cooked when they start to float. So when the first noodle floats up, remove it from the heat.
Add the silver needle noodles to the pan with the chicken and mix with a bit of the sauce.
Add the onions, garlic, and bell pepper that you set aside earlier. Also add the spinach and green onions now.
Adjust to your liking. Add more sauce if it needs more flavor. Finish with a bit of sesame oil.
