Make

  1. Heat a wok with first part of oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and saute until chicken is nearly cooked through. Move chicken to one side of the pan and pour eggs into the other side. Scramble eggs until just set. Set chicken and eggs aside and return wok to heat.

  2. Add second part of oil and then broccolini and mushrooms to heated wok. Saute until vegetables are tender, 3 to 5 minutes.

  3. Pour sauce into wok, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Bring sauce to a simmer.

  4. Give cornstarch slurry a stir and add it to sauce. Simmer until sauce starts to thicken slightly, ~1 minute.

  5. Add chicken, eggs, and noodles back to pan and toss everything to combine.

  6. Serve noodles with some extra Sriracha on the side. Enjoy!
