Method of preparation

Egg chicken noodles, is a pretty easy recipe. So, it will hardly take you a few minutes to prepare this meal. Begin with this meal, by boiling the noodles in a large pan. Add a dash of salt and oil to the noodles. This will add to the taste and prevent the noodles from sticking together. Cook for 10-12 minutes till the noodles become tender. Now, remove the wok from the flame and drain the water from the noodles. While boiling, make sure that the noodles are perfectly cooked and are not overcooked. Overcooked noodles can mar your entire meal.

After this, heat the wok and add two tablespoons of oil to it. Now add the vegetables and stir-fry them for 3-5 minutes. Soon, after cooking the veggies for a few minutes add the chicken. Mix the chicken well with the vegetables and let the entire thing cook for another 4-5 minutes. Continue with the sauté until the chicken and veggies get a light brownish hue. Sprinkle some salt and pepper for taste.

As soon as you’ve done this, add the chopped celeries to the mixture and cook for 1 more minute. You will now have to add one tablespoon of soya sauce, half tablespoon of vinegar and one tablespoon of sweet chilli sauce to the vegetables and the chicken. Stir fry the veggies and the chicken in these sauces to give a tangy and spicy flavor to the meal.

Continue the light sauté of the veggies and the chicken, while you heat another wok. As soon as the new wok is heated, lightly drizzle two tablespoons of oil on it. In the meanwhile, break the eggs and lightly beat them in a container. Add a dash of salt, pepper. You can also add the chopped celeries to the beaten eggs. Now, pour the eggs on the wok and scramble it with a spatula. Continue scrambling the egg until it gets a light golden hue. Now, add the saucy veggies and chicken to the eggs. Mix all the ingredients well with a spatula and cook for 2 more minutes.

Finally, add the noodles, mix it with the remaining ingredients and cook it for 1-2 two minutes. Your egg chicken noodles, is now ready. Serve hot with sweet chili sauce and chili vinegar. These noodles will turn out to be a scrumptious and incredibly tasty delicacy.
