Start by cutting boneless chicken into strips.

Marinate chicken with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon vinegar, and 1 tablespoon chili sauce.

Add 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1 teaspoon chili flakes to the marinated chicken.

If dark soy sauce is not available, prepare it beforehand as shown in a previous video.

Let the chicken marinate for about 30 minutes.

Boil water in a pot and add 1 teaspoon salt.

Add the egg noodles to the boiling water and stir occasionally until they soften and cook through.

Once cooked, strain the noodles and rinse with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon oil to prevent stickiness.

In another pot, heat 2-3 tablespoons oil and add 1 teaspoon crushed garlic. Cook until fragrant without changing color.

Add the marinated chicken to the pot and cook for 4-5 minutes on medium flame until cooked through.

Add 1 chopped medium onion and cook for 1-2 minutes until it becomes slightly transparent but still crunchy.

Add sliced vegetables (carrot, bell pepper, cabbage) according to preference.

Add 1 teaspoon chicken powder, salt, chili flakes, and black pepper to taste.

Prepare a sauce by mixing 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, and 1 tablespoon chili sauce. Set aside.

Add the cooked vegetables to the pot and stir for 1-2 minutes to maintain their crunchiness.

Add the boiled noodles to the pot and mix gently to avoid breaking them.

Lower the flame and add the prepared sauce, mixing thoroughly to combine all ingredients.

Serve the chicken chow mein in a bowl and enjoy with chopsticks or a fork.
