Ingredients

Units Scale
  • For the Chicken Skewers:
  • 2 boneless chicken thighs or breasts, cubed
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp ginger, grated
  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water
  • For the Canton Noodles:
  • 8 oz Canton-style egg noodles
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, thinly sliced (mixed colors)
  • 1/4 cup carrots, julienned
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (or vegan oyster sauce)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken skewers: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, hoisin, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Add chicken pieces and marinate for 15–30 minutes. Thread onto skewers.
  2. Grill or pan-sear the skewers over medium heat for 4–5 minutes per side, until fully cooked and charred.
  3. For the noodles: Cook noodles according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
  4. In a large pan or wok, heat vegetable oil. Sauté bell peppers and carrots for 2–3 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. Add the noodles, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and black pepper. Toss everything to coat and heat through.
  6. Serve the noodles with chicken skewers on the side, garnished with chopped green onions.

Notes

  • If you prefer a spicier version, add some chili flakes or sriracha to the noodles or chicken marinade.
  • Feel free to swap the chicken for tofu for a vegetarian or vegan version of the dish.
  • These skewers can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
