Prep the Vegetables:
Slice 180g of green beans or snake beans into 1-inch pieces.
Cook the Noodles:
Boil dry egg noodles for about 10-12 minutes, following the package instructions. Once done, drain and rinse the noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process, then set them aside.
Make the Stir-Fry Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix together light soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, fish sauce, and oyster sauce. Set this sauce mixture aside for later.
STIR FRY PROCESS
1. Cook the Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a wok over medium heat. Stir-fry the marinated chicken for about 3 minutes or until it's 80% cooked. Remove the chicken from the wok and set it aside.
2. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same wok, add the chopped chilies, garlic, and shallots. Sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Cook the Green Beans: Add the green beans to the wok and stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
4. Combine Everything: Return the partially cooked chicken to the wok and stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
5. Add the Noodles and Sauce: Add the cooked noodles to the wok, then pour in the prepared sauce. Toss everything together for about a minute until well combined.
6. Finish with Basil: Finally, add a handful of fresh basil leaves to the wok and give it a quick stir. Once the basil wilts slightly, the dish is ready to serve!
