Ingredients

  • 12 oz Buckwheat Noodles
  • 1 lb Chicken Breast
  • 3 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 1 inch Ginger
  • 1 cup Carrots
  • 1 cup Bell Peppers
  • 1/2 cup Green Onions
  • 1/4 cup Vegetable Broth

Instructions

  1. 1Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the 12 oz Buckwheat Noodles and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender but still firm to the bite. Carefully drain the noodles in a colander and set them aside.
  2. 2Before you begin cooking, cut the 1 lb Chicken Breast into uniform 1/2-inch cubes.
  3. 3Place a large 12-inch wok or skillet on the stove and heat 1 tbsp Sesame Oil over medium-high heat, which is approximately 375°F (190°C).
  4. 4Add the cut 1 lb Chicken Breast to the hot wok. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken pieces are browned on all sides and cooked through; an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a piece should read 165°F (74°C).
  5. 5Mince the 4 cloves of Garlic and grate the 1 inch of Ginger. Add the minced 4 cloves of Garlic and the grated 1 inch of Ginger to the wok with the cooked chicken. Sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until you can smell their fragrant aroma.
  6. 6Dice the 1 cup of Carrots and the 1 cup of Bell Peppers into 1/2-inch pieces. Add the diced 1 cup of Carrots and 1 cup of Bell Peppers to the wok. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  7. 7Pour the 3 tbsp Soy Sauce, 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar, and 1/4 cup Vegetable Broth into the wok. Immediately add the cooked 12 oz Buckwheat Noodles to the wok.
  8. 8Using tongs or two spatulas, gently toss all the ingredients together for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce and are thoroughly heated.
  9. 9Slice the 1/2 cup of Green Onions. Serve the chowmein immediately, dividing it among four plates, and garnish each serving with the sliced 1/2 cup of Green Onions.
