Chicken Chow Mein

Preparation

• 1
  First, prepare the meat and the marinade. Clean the chicken breast, cut it into thin strips, and place it in a small bowl. Add the olive oil, gingerbread spice mix, salt, pepper, and grated ginger. Mix thoroughly and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  After the marinating time, remove the bowl from the refrigerator. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat, and in a large pot, bring salted water to a boil for the spaghetti. Once the water starts boiling, add the spaghetti and cook for about 12 minutes, or according to the package instructions.

  Meanwhile, add the marinated chicken to the heated pan and sauté for 1–2 minutes over medium heat. Pour in 100 ml chicken broth and cook over medium heat for about 6 minutes.

  Then add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook over medium heat until the water almost completely evaporates (this takes about 5 minutes). Finally, add the green beans and soy sauce, then season the mixture with salt, pepper, and chili flakes.

  Drain the cooked spaghetti, mix it with the chicken base, and heat together in the pan for about 1 minute over medium heat. Divide the finished chicken chow mein into 3 portions and serve.

Tip

  The longer you marinate the meat, the more it will absorb the flavors of the spices and ginger. You can easily prepare the meat even a day in advance.
