"Quick and simple recipe that I made up - the ingredients combination might be weird but it's delicious!"

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 17
• Serves: 2-3

ingredients

• 120 g angel hair pasta
• 100 g boneless skinless chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces (breast or thighs)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 2 teaspoons five-spice powder
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• fresh ground black pepper
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 small yellow onion, chopped
• 2 small chili, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 100 g long beans, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (can use green beans)
• 1 egg, slightly beaten

• Sauce

• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1⁄4 cup chicken stock
• 2 teaspoons honey (or brown sugar)

directions

1. First, marinate the chicken with soy sauce, vinegar, 5-spice powder, sesame oil and black pepper in a non-metal bowl, set aside.
2. Meanwhile, cook pasta in salted boiling water according to directions on package (mine says 2 minutes), drain and set aside.
3. Heat oil in a wok; once hot saute onions and chillies for 1 minute.
4. Add garlic and cook another 30sec.
5. Add long beans, then cook for 1 minute.
6. Add chicken pieces and stir continuously until they're completely cooked.
7. Push the mixture to one side of the wok (if your wok/pan is too small, remove the mixture before proceeding), then pour the beaten egg and cook until set.
8. Scramble the egg and combine with the vegetable mixture (in the wok).
9. Add the cooked pasta, mix well and add the sauce ingredients.
10. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until sauce is well-distributed; taste and adjust seasonings if necessary (I would add some chilli paste and/or tiny bit of soy sauce if necessary).
11. If you like, sprinkle with 1/2-1 tsp sesame oil and chopped scallions before serving.

Great recipe and very versatile. I used rotisserie chicken and subbed celery, carrots, and onion for the green beans as I wasn't about to go to the store. It worked out amazingly! Give it a try!!

Indeed, the ingredients combination is a bit weird but still it taste great and the smoothness of pasta just adds to it. a bit spicy which is great! i dont have long beans at the moment so i just canned grean beans. loves it! will make again. thanks for the recipe.
