Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8.8 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 2 packets classic Maggi
- 1 large egg
Supporting Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons oil
- ½ cup thinly sliced onions
- ½ cup mixed bell peppers
Seasoning and Garnish:
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons chopped spring onions
Instructions
- Warm 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat at 375°F. Toss in 2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic and ½ cup thinly sliced onions, sautéing until they turn golden and fragrant.
- Add 8.8 ounces chicken pieces cut into ½ inch cubes. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is completely cooked through and develops a light brown exterior.
- Create a small space in the pan’s center. Crack 1 large egg directly into the cleared area. Quickly scramble the egg with your spatula until fully cooked and broken into small pieces.
- Incorporate ½ cup mixed bell peppers into the pan. Pour 2 teaspoons soy sauce and ½ teaspoon white vinegar over the mixture. Stir everything together thoroughly.
- Pour 1½ cups water into the skillet and increase heat to high. Bring liquid to a rolling boil within 2-3 minutes.
- Add 2 packets of Maggi noodles and their accompanying tastemaker. Gently stir to ensure noodles are fully submerged and evenly distributed.
- Reduce heat to medium. Allow noodles to simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until liquid is completely absorbed and noodles reach desired tenderness.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped spring onions across the top. Serve immediately while piping hot.
Notes
- Use a wide pan to ensure even cooking and prevent noodles from sticking together.
- Adjust the water quantity based on how soupy or dry your preferred Maggi consistency is.
- Chop chicken and vegetables into uniform sizes for consistent cooking and better flavor distribution.
- For a vegetarian version, replace chicken with tofu or paneer and use vegetable stock instead of water.
