"We loved this chow mein, it's sort of different from any restaurant because of the five spice powder. This is for two people but you can make more"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cook the noodles for 3 minutes in a pan of boiling water until al dente, or as per the package instructions. Drain, then run them under cold running water, and drain again. Drizzle with a few splashes of sesame oil, and toss through to prevent them from sticking.
Step 2
Season the chicken with a splash of soy sauce, the five-spice powder, and chile sauce, if using. Mix well. Coat the chicken breasts lightly with the cornstarch.
Step 3
Heat a wok over a high heat, add the peanut oil, and heat until smoking. Add the chicken, and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, or until cooked through.
Step 4
Add the red bell pepper, and stir-fry for 1 minute, then add the bean sprouts and green onion and stir-fry for less than 1 minute. Add the cooked noodles, and season with the light soy sauce, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, and black pepper, to taste. Stir well and serve immediately.
