  1. Step 1: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 12 oz egg lo mein noodles, cooking for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Drain well and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 8 oz thinly sliced boneless chicken breast and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 minced garlic cloves to the wok and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.

  6. Step 6: Pour in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tsp granulated sugar, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1/4 tsp ground white pepper. Stir-fry everything together for 2 minutes until sauce evenly coats the noodles and ingredients and is heated through.
