Make
- Whisk eggs.
- Place broccoli in a microwave-safe container. Cover with a wet paper towel and microwave for 2 minutes 30 seconds. This just helps the broccoli cook way faster later.
- Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add in first part of oil and then chicken to heated oil. Toss and cook until golden on the outside and cooked in the inside (just slice a piece open to tell). Remove from wok and set aside.
- Return wok to medium heat. Add in second part of oil and then garlic, white parts of green onions, and whisked eggs to heated oil. Lightly scramble.
- While the eggs are still runny, toss in broccoli, and saute for 2 to 3 minutes until broccoli is cooked through, tender but with a crunch still.
- Add noodles, chicken (and all the juices), second part of soy sauce, and rice vinegar to wok. Toss until everything is coated. Finish with lemon juice, and season to taste with more soy sauce or even hot sauce (like Sriracha). Serve with green parts of green onions.

Very bland. It really needed the hot sauce. I added an extra egg and more lemon juice. This is the fourth meal I have made and each included sugar or maple syrup. That is not necessary and unhealthy.
0 HelpfulFor the marinade, instead of regular soy sauce I used liquid aminos, and I cut the fish sauce altogether but added a bit of Worcestershire sauce in its place. If I made it again I'd use 2 eggs. But overall it was quite good!!
