Yield: 1 servings
Cuisine: Chinese
Ingredients: 2 tbsp vegetable oil; 1/2 medium yellow onion, sliced; 6 oz chicken breast, cooked and sliced; 1/4 tsp salt; 1/4 tsp MSG (monosodium glutamate); 6 oz chow mein noodles, cooked; 2 tbsp water; 1/4 tsp salt; 1/4 tsp MSG (monosodium glutamate); 2 tbsp dark soy sauce; 1 cup bean sprouts; 1 tsp sesame oil; 1 tbsp light soy sauce

1

Heat a wok over high heat until smoking. Add the vegetable oil.

2

Add the sliced onions and stir-fry for about 15-20 seconds until fragrant.

3

Add the cooked, sliced chicken and toss with the onions for about 30 seconds.

4

Season the chicken and onions with salt and MSG (if using). Stir-fry to combine.

5

Add the cooked chow mein noodles to the wok and toss everything together.

6

Add a splash of water to the side of the hot wok to create steam, which helps separate the noodles.

7

Season the noodles with another pinch of salt and MSG (if using).

8

Pour in the dark soy sauce and toss vigorously over high heat to coat the noodles and develop wok hei (smoky flavor).

9

Add the bean sprouts and stir-fry for another 30-45 seconds until they are just wilted but still crisp.

10

Turn off the heat. Finish the dish with a drizzle of sesame oil and light soy sauce, giving it one final toss.

11

Transfer to a container or plate and serve immediately.
