Ingredients

4 Chicken thighs
0.5 tsp Salt
0.5 tsp Black pepper
3 tbsp Soy sauce (For the chicken marinade; source spells this as “Soy suace.”)
1 tbsp Bicarbonate of soda (Used in the chicken marinade; transcript calls it “carb of soda.”)
1 cup Cornstarch (For coating the chicken.)
650 g Egg noodles
1 White onion (Large.)
3 cloves Garlic (Transcript also mentions ginger, but ginger is not listed in the written ingredients.)
5 Spring onions
Bean sprouts (A handful; source says “bread sprouts,” likely a typo.)
Coriander (A handful.)
1 Red chilli
2 Limes
4 tbsp Light soy sauce (For the sauce.)
2 tbsp Dark soy sauce (For the sauce.)
1 tbsp Oyster sauce (For the sauce.)
2 tbsp Sriracha (For the sauce; source spells this “siracha.”)
2 tbsp Sesame oil (For the sauce; transcript also mentions sesame oil with the marinade, but no separate quantity is provided.)
2 tsp Sugar
0.5 tsp MSG
2 tbsp Water
1 tsp White pepper (Source says “Tsp white pepper.”)
Sesame seeds (Mentioned in the transcript but not quantified in the written ingredients.)
Ginger (Mentioned in the transcript but not quantified in the written ingredients.)

Steps

1
Cut the white onion and spring onions; prepare the garlic and the remaining listed vegetables and garnishes. The transcript shows the onion and spring onions being cut but does not specify their cut size.
2
Season the chicken thighs with the salt, black pepper, soy sauce, and bicarbonate of soda. Mix to coat and leave to marinate for 30 minutes.
3
Coat the marinated chicken in cornstarch, making sure the chicken is covered.
4
Combine the light and dark soy sauces, oyster sauce, sriracha, sesame oil, sugar, MSG, water, and white pepper in a bowl. Whisk until blended.
5
Heat a pan and add the garlic and ginger. The transcript does not state the cooking fat, heat level, or browning time.
6
Add the coated chicken to the pan and cook until done; the transcript gives no cooking time or temperature.
7
Add the prepared sauce and stir to coat the chicken.
8
Add the spring onions and egg noodles, then toss together in the pan.
9
Add the bean sprouts and toss through the chow mein.
10
Finish with the coriander, red chilli, and lime, and serve. The source lists these as ingredients but does not describe their precise finishing arrangement.

Notes

The transcript mentions ginger, sesame seeds, and additional sesame oil during preparation, but provides no quantities for ginger or sesame seeds and no separate marinade quantity for the sesame oil; these are not specified in the written ingredient list. It also does not give noodle preparation, chicken cooking time/temperature, or detailed final assembly instructions.
