• 1 tablespoon regular soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce (for that deep umami richness)

• 300g chicken breast, thinly sliced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
• 120g red bell pepper, thinly sliced

How to Make Hoisin Chicken with Noodles

No fancy tools needed—just a big pan or wok, some tongs (or strong arms), and maybe a little kitchen dancing while you stir-fry. Here’s how it’s done:

1. Cook the noodles
   Follow the package instructions (usually boil for 4–5 minutes), then drain and set aside.
2. Mix the sauce
   In a bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, sesame oil, both soy sauces, rice vinegar, and water. Set it aside so it’s ready to go when things start sizzling.
3. Cook the chicken
   Spray a large frying pan or wok with oil and heat over medium-high. Add the chicken, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then stir in the garlic and ginger. Cook until the chicken is lightly browned, then remove it from the pan.
4. Stir-fry the veggies
   In the same pan, add a bit more oil spray and toss in all the veggies (pepper, zucchini, carrot, and cabbage). Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes—just until they start to soften but still have a bit of crunch.
5. Bring it all together
   Add the cooked chicken and noodles back to the pan. Pour in the sauce and toss everything together like you mean it. Stir-fry for another minute or two until everything is beautifully coated and steaming hot.
6. Top and serve
   Sprinkle with sliced green onions, and boom—dinner is served. Bonus points if you serve it in a big bowl and eat with chopsticks!

Little Tips for Big Flavor

• Prep ahead: Slice your veggies and chicken in the morning (or even the night before), and dinner comes together lightning fast.
• Don’t overcook the noodles: They’ll cook a little more when tossed with the sauce, so keep them slightly firm.
• Too saucy? Not saucy enough? Feel free to adjust water and hoisin levels to your taste—it’s your kitchen, after all.
• Spice it up: Add a little sriracha or crushed red pepper if your household likes a kick.
