    To Marinate The Chicken

    You will need skinless boneless chicken breasts (or thighs), salt, black pepper powder, dark soy sauce, white vinegar, and baking soda.

    Baking soda is my trick to make the chicken super juicy and soft, do not skip it.

    To Cook The Noodles

    I used egg noodles to make this recipe but you can use Hakka noodles too. You will also need salt and vegetable oil.

    For The Stir Fry

    Fresh Ingredients – To make 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).

    You can use other vegetables like broccoli, mushrooms, red and yellow bell peppers, snow peas, etc in this recipe.

    Others – You will also need vegetable oil, dark 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 to mix 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.

    Cut the chicken into thin strips.

    Add

    • ¼ teaspoon black pepper powder

    Cook The Noodles

    While the chicken is marinating, cook the noodles.

    Heat 5 cups of water in a pan over high heat until it comes to a rolling boil.

    Add 2 teaspoon 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, the noodles will become mushy.

    Drain in a colander and rinse the noodles with cold water to stop the cooking.

    Toss the cooked noodles with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil so that they don’t stick to each other.

    Set them aside.

    Pro Tips By Neha

    Boil the Noodles until they are just done otherwise they will turn mushy while stir-frying.

    Chop or shred the vegetables into the same size. They will cook evenly and look good too.

    Adjust the sauces according to your taste.

    You can add more chillies if you like your noodles hot.

    You can boil the noodles in advance and toss them with some oil. This will keep them from sticking to each other.

    Gather the ingredients before starting to cook. You need to cook everything on high heat and if the ingredients are ready and kept nearby you, it will be easy to add them to the wok quickly.

    Serving Suggestions

    Hakka Noodles with chicken taste great on their own but you can also serve them with Chinese dishes like Chinese Sweet and Sour Vegetables, Thai Basil Chicken, or Vegetables in Hot Garlic Sauce.

    These noodles also taste great with Indo-Chinese dishes like Gobi Manchurian, Chilli Garlic Chicken, Chilli Chicken, or Veg Manchurian.

    Storage Suggestions

    These noodles taste the best when served right from the wok but if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

    Reheat them in a wok or a microwave until hot again and serve.
