How to Make Minute Chicken On Pancake Noodles

  1. **Prepare the Noodles:** Bring 4 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt to a rolling boil in a large pot.
  2. **Cook the Noodles:** Gradually add 8 ounces of saimin noodles (or substitute with 8 oz. dried Chinese noodles or angel hair pasta). Stir constantly to prevent sticking. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until al dente.
  3. **Rinse and Toss:** Drain noodles and rinse immediately under cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and toss with 3 tablespoons of grapeseed oil (or your preferred oil).
  4. **Make the Noodle Pancakes:** Heat 3 tablespoons of grapeseed oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Spread 1/3 of the noodles into a thin, even pancake. Cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides (about 2-3 minutes per side). Remove and repeat with remaining noodles, adding more oil as needed.
  5. **Prepare the Chicken:** In a separate bowl, toss 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until evenly coated. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  6. **Stir-fry the Chicken:** Heat 2 tablespoons of grapeseed oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and stir until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  7. **Cook the Chicken:** Add the chicken to the wok and stir-fry until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
  8. **Add the Sauce:** Add 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water to the wok. Stir to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
  9. **Assemble and Garnish:** Arrange the crispy noodle pancakes on a serving plate. Pour the chicken and sauce over the noodles.
  10. **Serve:** Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
