8scallionswhite parts sliced thin, green parts cut into 1-inch pieces
1tablespoongrated fresh ginger
3clovesgarlicminced
1teaspoonSriracha sauce
Instructions
Whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and five-spice powder together in a bowl. Measure 1/4 cup of the sauce mixture and place it into a separate bowl and stir in the sliced chicken. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Whisk chicken broth and cornstarch into the remaining sauce mixture.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook pasta until al dente. Drain pasta and set aside.
In a large wok or dutch oven over high heat, add 1 1/2 tsp. of canola oil. Add half of the chicken and cook until slightly browned but not fully cooked through, about 2 minutes. Stir in 3 tbsp. of rice wine and cook until liquid is nearly evaporated, about 1 minute. Transfer to a clean bowl. Repeat with the other half of the chicken and 1 1/2 tsp. canola oil and remaining 3 tbsp. rice wine.
Wipe the wok/pot clean and add remaining 1 1/2 tsp. canola oil to the wok/pot over high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until slightly browned, 4-6 minutes. Then stir in cabbage, scallions, ginger, and garlic. Cook until fragrant and cabbage has wilted.
Whisk in the remainder of the sauce you set aside earlier. Stir in the cooked chicken (and add the accumulated juices) and simmer until sauce has thickened slightly and chicken is completely cooked through and heated. Stir in cooked pasta and Sriracha.
Serve hot.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
