3 ounces, weight Dried Egg Noodles
1 cup Broccoli
2 whole Carrots Sliced Thinly
1/2 cups Red Pepper, Thinly Sliced
2 whole Chicken Breast, Cut In Cubes
2 dashes Salt And Pepper
1/4 teaspoons Chinese Five Spice
1 Tablespoon Constarch
1 teaspoon Chili Sauce
2 dashes Dark Soy Sauce
2 Tablespoons Peanut Oil
1/2 cups Chopped Onion
1 cup Reserved Water From Boiling Noodles
2 Tablespoons Light Soy Sauce
1/2 cups Bean Sprouts

1
Boil water in a medium pot for noodles and broccoli.
2
While you are waiting for water to boil, cut all carrots, red pepper, broccoli, and chicken.
3
It is important to have all your veggies and chicken marinated first because once you start, it goes very fast and you dont want to overcook the vegetables.
4
Once the water comes to boil, add broccoli and cook for 1 minute.
5
Use a straining spoon to remove broccoli so you can add the noodles to the boiling water.
6
The noodles are thin and will cook very fast, so wait to add them once you start cooking the chicken.
7
Salt and pepper the chicken.
8
Then marinate chicken in Chinese five spice, cornstarch, chili sauce and dark soy.
9
Heat a wok or large saute pan with peanut oil.
10
Wait until pan is very hot and then add the chicken.
11
Saute it until brown.
12
Add all the vegetable except bean sprouts.
13
I add them at the very end.
14
Add noodles to the water and cook for only 3 minutes.
15
Drain water, reserving 1 cup of water.
16
(I like to add a little bit of water from the noodles to loosen all the bits stuck on the bottom of the pan.
17
You may not need the whole cup but its nice to have just in case.
18
It gives you a nice sauce and makes it less dry.)
19
Cook for 1-2 minutes.
20
Add light soy and bean sprouts mix all together, then add the noodles.
21
Toss and serve.
22
I love to cook this because it is a one-pot meal.

Let me know what you think.
