Hey FoodTubers.
My name's Amy and I'm Julie and we're the dumpling sisters.
Welcome to our kitchen.
Today we're doing chicken fried noodles.
Now everyone knows what a delicious plate of fried noodles tastes like,
but we're going to show you the secret to the juiciest noodles you've ever had
So let's get started
So for these amazing noodles, we're just going to keep it really simple
We've got some egg noodles, beansprouts, broccoli, some thinly sliced carrot
Diced up ginger and garlic and chicken thigh cut into strips
So the first thing that we're going to do is start by marinating our chicken
So I've got 300g of chicken thigh here
Now we really recommend using thighs instead of breast meat for this dish because it is just that much more juicy
And to that we just add a really classic marinade of
Half a teaspoon of light soy sauce, a quarter of a teaspoon of salt
a quarter of a teaspoon of sugar
a pinch of pepper and two tablespoons of water
We're also going to add one teaspoon of corn flour
and a quarter of a teaspoon of baking soda
to find out why we use these two magic ingredients check out our potsticker video on foodtube
While the chicken is marinating, we're going to get the noodles ready
Now we think you'll all agree that bouncy noodles are much better than
soggy ones in a stir fry and
to achieve that we always soak our noodles just so they're just softened
because they'll keep cooking in the wok
Pour some boiling water over 250g of thin egg noodles
and when they start to loosen up, give them a swizzle, chopsticks are great for this
Now when they're just soft and bouncy like a tangle of elastic bands
quickly drain them in a colander and you're good to go
Okay, ready to start cooking, so we're going to start with the chicken
Get your wok super hot
then we want to add about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
Add in half of the ginger and garlic
Then lay the chicken out in a single layer so that we can get some nice colour on there
Let the chicken do it's thing for a couple of minutes
Then start flipping it so it ends up nicely browned all over
Then add in 60ml of water and cover very quickly so that we can trap in all of those lovely flavours
So the magic that's happening in the wok right now
Is that the cornflour and the water is forming this beautiful, slick gravy
that's going to coat every strand of noodles, that's how we get them so juicy without adding loads of oil
Give it a minute to cook the chicken through then scoop everything out into a clean bowl and set aside
Mhmm, these are the best bits
Fire up your wok again, in goes one tablespoon of oil and the rest of the garlic and ginger
Let that sizzle away until fragrant
Then add in half a handful of carrots, a whole handful of beansprouts
And a handful of broccoli, give it a good stir
To cook the veg through properly we're going to give it some steam
All you have to do is add in 80ml of cold water
Stick a lid on it and let it cook through
Turn the heat down to low so the vegetables don't burn while we add in the rest of the ingredients
For the noodles, cut them up slightly so they're easy to toss
you can do this with a pair of scissors if you like and in go the noodles
Now pour that lovely gravy on top, along with the chicken
to season we're using three quarters of a teaspoon of salt, one and quarter teaspoons of sugar
and one teaspoon of dark soy
Slide each spatula down the side of the wok until they meet in the middle
then lift both of them up at the same time along with a bunch of noodles
Give the noodles a little jiggle at the top then release
Keep repeating this until everything's mixed together and the noodles are heated through
So that's all there is to it guys, chicken fried noodles
Oh my god, they look delicious and they smell amazing too
All those beautiful colours
So there you have it guys, chicken fried noodles, super juicy and super delicious
Let's tuck in, hmm, I'm going to have a bit of chicken because I'm greedy
And you know what there is no shame in using a fork
Hmm, yum right?
Really plump noodles
Alrighty then, thank you very much for watching
We're going to finish this off, let us know if you guys make it
Oh and let us know on soc-s-s-s
