Marinate chicken by scoring the flesh side and combining with 2 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 0.5 tsp sugar, a few dashes of white pepper, and 2 cloves crushed garlic. Massage the marinade into the chicken and let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes.

Prepare the sauce for the noodles by mixing 250 ml warm water with 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp chicken stock powder, 2.5 tbsp dark soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp light soy sauce, and a few dashes of white pepper. Set aside.

Coat marinated chicken with plain flour for a light crispy texture.

Heat a wok over medium low heat and add enough oil to cover the base. Add 4 halved spring onions and fry until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove spring onions and drain the oil.

Increase heat to medium and add the chicken pieces skin side down, frying for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Check every 2 minutes to avoid burning. Press down gently for even browning.

After frying for 3 minutes, check the chicken and adjust cooking time if needed. Remove chicken from the wok and repeat with the second batch.

In the same wok, heat about 2 to 2.5 tbsp of oil and add 1 sliced red onion and 4 chopped garlic cloves. Stir until fragrant.

Add 4 sliced shiitake mushrooms and mix well. After a minute, add 450 g rinsed yellow noodles and spread them out.

Add 1 big bunch of tyson (or other greens) and the prepared sauce. Mix everything well and cook until the sauce is almost dry.

Turn the heat up to medium high to speed up the cooking process. Once the sauce is absorbed, add the fried spring onions back in and mix well.

Cut the chicken and serve it with the noodles.
