Ingredients



For the Noodles

8 oz Barilla Protein Spaghetti (dry)

2 cups thinly sliced cabbage

4–5 green onions, white and green parts separated

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

1 cup shredded carrots

4–5 garlic cloves, minced

Chicken Marinade

1 lb chicken thighs, sliced into ¼-inch strips

2 tablespoons oyster sauce

1 tablespoon light soy sauce

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon baking soda

Stir-Fry Sauce

3 tablespoons light soy sauce

1 tablespoon dark soy sauce

2 tablespoons oyster sauce

1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine

1 tablespoon sugar

2 teaspoons sesame oil

How to Make Easy Pan Fried Noodles

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the protein spaghetti until al dente, about 7–9 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Marinate the Chicken

Combine the sliced chicken thighs with oyster sauce, soy sauce, pepper, and baking soda. Mix well and let marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 3: Prepare the Vegetables

Thinly slice the cabbage and onion, mince the garlic, shred the carrots if needed, and separate the green onions into white and green portions.

Step 4: Mix the Sauce

Whisk together the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, sugar, and sesame oil until combined.

Step 5: Cook the Chicken

Heat 1 tablespoon avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Sear the chicken for about 4 minutes per side until fully cooked. Remove and set aside.

Step 6: Stir-Fry the Vegetables

Using the same pan, lightly coat with avocado oil spray. Add the onions, cabbage, carrots, and garlic. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender.

Step 7: Combine Everything

Add the cooked noodles and chicken back into the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over everything and toss well. Cook for another 3–4 minutes on high heat.

Step 8: Finish and Serve

Add the green onions, reduce the heat to low, and cook for another minute. Serve immediately while hot.

Helpful Tips

Cook the pasta just until al dente to prevent mushy noodles.

A hot wok or skillet gives the noodles the best texture.

Prep all ingredients before cooking since stir-frying moves quickly.

Add mushrooms, broccoli, bell peppers, or snap peas for extra vegetables.

Adjust the soy sauce to your preferred salt level.

Storage & Meal Prep

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or microwave until heated through. These noodles make an excellent high-protein meal prep lunch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use chicken breast instead of chicken thighs?

Yes. Chicken breast works well and provides a leaner option while still delivering plenty of protein.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Absolutely. Use your favorite gluten-free spaghetti and substitute gluten-free soy sauce and oyster sauce.

What vegetables work best?

Broccoli, bok choy, mushrooms, bell peppers, zucchini, spinach, and snap peas all pair wonderfully with these noodles.
