Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 150g glass noodles
  • 200g boneless, skinless chicken breast, shredded
  • 100g shiitake mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 red pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. To start, soak the glass noodles in warm water for about 10 minutes or until they become soft and pliable. Drain and set aside. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil, and set the mixture aside.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shredded chicken and cook for about 3-4 minutes until it is no longer pink and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the sliced shiitake mushrooms, red pepper, and onion. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Next, add the soaked glass noodles to the skillet and pour the sauce mixture over them. Toss everything together, ensuring the noodles and vegetables are well-coated with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the noodles are heated through.
  5. Return the cooked shredded chicken to the skillet and give everything a final toss to combine. Cook for another minute to warm up the chicken. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  6. Serve the glass noodles with shredded chicken, shiitake mushrooms, red pepper, and onion in bowls or plates. Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro leaves for a burst of freshness and color.

Notes

For best results, it’s important not to overcook the glass noodles as they can become mushy. Be sure to follow the instructions on the package for soaking time, and keep an eye on them while cooking to achieve the desired texture. This dish pairs nicely with a side of steamed vegetables or a simple cucumber salad to add freshness and balance to the meal. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds for an extra flavor boost.
