# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Slice the chicken breast thinly and place in a bowl. Add light soy sauce, cornstarch, baking soda, white pepper, sesame oil, and sugar. Mix thoroughly to coat and set aside.
02 -
Slice onion, garlic, bell pepper, carrot, cabbage, and spring onions as specified and arrange each ingredient for easy access.
03 -
Cook the noodles according to package instructions in boiling water. Once tender, drain and rinse with cold water to halt further cooking. Set aside.

In a small bowl, combine light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, water, and white pepper. Stir to incorporate and set aside.
05 -
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add a portion of the cooking oil. Introduce the marinated chicken and stir-fry until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from the wok and set aside.
06 -
Add a small amount of cooking oil to the wok if necessary. Sauté garlic and onion until fragrant. Add carrot, bell pepper, and cabbage. Stir-fry until vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
07 -
Add the cooked noodles to the wok, pour the prepared chow mein sauce over them, then return the chicken to the pan. Toss all components together to ensure even coating and thorough heating.
08 -
Add spring onions during the final toss. Serve hot.
