  • Working in small batches, add the chicken pieces to the hot pan and fry until golden and cooked through; remove to a plate and repeat until all chicken is cooked.
  • Add the broccoli, snow peas, green beans, red capsicum and baby corn to the pan and stir-fry until vegetables are bright and just beginning to soften but still slightly crisp, about 2–4 minutes.
  • Stir in the minced garlic, oyster sauce, soy sauce and brown sugar; mix to combine and coat the vegetables.

Notes

  • Prepare the noodles before stir-frying for best texture.
  • Cook chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Vegetables should remain slightly crisp for best color and texture.
  • Use fresh or canned baby corn as preferred.
  • Adjust soy sauce to taste for saltiness.
