Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Large Saucepan
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Serving Bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 2 3.5 oz pack Glass noodles (Korean style sweet potato glass noodles)
  • 2 tablespoons oil divided
  • 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into strips
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 1 cup yellow onion sliced
  • 1 cup red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 cup carrot cut into matchstick size
  • 1 cup cabbage sliced
  • ½ cup green onions cut into 2-inch size
  • 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds

For the stir fry sauce

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • Chopped green onions to garnish

Instructions
 

  • Cook the glass noodles according to the package instructions. In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil, then add the glass noodles and cook for exactly 6 minutes. Once cooked, drain the noodles, rinse with cold water, and set them aside. (Optional: Toss the noodles with a teaspoon of sesame oil to prevent them from drying out or sticking, but this step can be skipped if you plan to stir-fry them immediately.)
  • In a small bowl, combine the stir-fry sauce ingredients: soy sauce, chicken broth, oyster sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, cornstarch, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.
  • Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet. Once hot, add the chicken strips and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked, then transfer to a plate and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the onion, red bell pepper, carrots, and garlic, and stir-fry on high heat for 2-3 minutes. Add the cabbage and green onions, cooking for another 2 minutes.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the stir-fry sauce. Cook for about 2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Do a taste test and adjust any flavor issues.
  • Finally, add the cooked glass noodles and toss everything together until well coated in the sauce. Stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve the stir-fried glass noodles warm for the best flavor.

Notes

  1. Don’t overcook or overfry the delicate glass noodles. Once they have absorbed the sauce, remove your wok from the heat.
  2. Do a taste test on the sauce before adding since the soy sauce might have some salt already added.
