You will also need salt and vegetable oil. ### For The Stir Fry **Fresh Ingredients** - To make the chicken Hakka noodles recipe, you will need garlic, fresh ginger, scallion whites (spring onion whites), scallion greens (spring onion greens), green cabbage, carrots, and green bell peppers (capsicum). This recipe can be made with other vegetables, such as broccoli, mushrooms, red and yellow bell peppers, snow peas, etc. **Others** - You will also need oil, soy sauce, white vinegar, hot sauce (red chili sauce), salt, and pepper. You will need a light wok to make these noodles. A tong works great when mixing the noodles. ## How To Make Chicken Hakka Noodles ### Marinate The Chicken Rinse 10 oz (300 g) skinless boneless chicken breasts and pat them dry using paper towels.

Heat 5 cups of water in a pan over high heat until it comes to a rolling boil. Add 2 tsp salt and 7 oz (200 g) egg noodles to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring a few times in between, until the noodles are just cooked (al dente). Do not overcook; otherwise, they will become mushy.
