Instructions
 

Marinate the chicken

  • First, start by marinating the chicken.
  • Wash and cut the chicken into 2-inch cubes. To that put the ginger garlic paste, lime juice, salt to taste, and a tsp of oil.
  • Mix them well and keep them aside.

Boil the Chow Mein noodles

  • For that, take a boiling pot and add a sufficient amount of water. Put salt to taste and let it boil.
  • Keep the flame on medium. When the water starts to boil, put in the noodles.
  • Let the noodles cook to perfection. Check-in between. Make sure not to overcook them.
  • When done, immediately wash them under ice-cold water.
  • Next, transfer them onto a large plate and spread them out. Put some oil and spread it on the noodles well. This will prevent them from sticking together.
  • Cover and keep the noodles aside.

Prepare the veggies

  • Thinly slice the onions and the spring onions. Julien the carrots, and chop the capsicum into thin strips.
  • Shred the cabbage and finely chop the garlic.
  • Slice the button mushroom (if using) and the green chilis as well.
  • Keep them aside.

Fry the chicken

  • Now take a kadhai or a coking pan.
  • Put oil and let it heat.
  • Keep the flame on medium and let the oil heat until it starts to smoke.
  • Now, put the chicken in it. Stir them nicely and let them get cooked to perfection.
  • When the chicken is done, take it out in a bowl and keep it aside.

Fry the veggies

  • Next, add the finely chopped garlic in the same oil.
  • Stir until they turn golden brown and to this add the rest of the veggies.
  • Cook them for about 2 minutes. Do not cook for long as we don’t want the veggies to get mushy.

Add the chicken pieces

  • Next, add in the already-cooked chicken pieces.
  • Mix all the ingredients well and then add the Black pepper.

Add the noodles

  • Stir and then add the noodles.
  • Combine them well.
  • Next, take a bowl and put the red chili paste, green chili paste, soy sauce, and vinegar.
  • Mix them nicely and add to the noodles.
  • Combine all the ingredients well so the sauces coat them beautifully.
  • Add some more black pepper and salt to taste.
  • Take a taste test and add if anything is needed.
  • Transfer them into a bowl and garnish it with some more chopped green onions.
