1
Slice the chicken and marinate it with salt, white pepper powder, light soy sauce, Shaoxing cooking wine, and cornstarch. Mix well and seal with a bit of oil.
2
Prepare the sauce by mixing oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, and water.
3
Boil the noodles for about 30 seconds, then transfer to ice water to cool. Drain well and drizzle with a bit of sesame oil to prevent sticking.
4
Heat the wok to high heat until smoking, add oil, and stir-fry the marinated chicken for a few minutes until lightly browned. Set aside.
5
Add a bit more oil, stir-fry the garlic and onion, then add the cabbage with a pinch of salt. Cook for a few minutes until the vegetables soften.
6
Return the chicken to the wok and mix well, then add the noodles and toss everything together with chopsticks.
7
Pour in the prepared sauce and mix well. Continue stir-frying until fragrant.
8
Add the green onions, mix well, and stir-fry a bit longer until the noodles are slightly dry. Serve immediately.
