Ingredients

  • 6 oz oz chow mein noodles or spaghetti
  • 10 oz oz boneless skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups cups green cabbage, shredded
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned
  • 3 stalks green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 3 tbsp tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp tbsp cornstarch
  • 3 cloves cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp tsp sugar

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook noodles according to package directions, drain, and toss with 1 tsp oil to prevent sticking.

  2. 2

    Whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water to make the sauce.

  3. 3

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Stir-fry chicken for 3-4 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

  4. 4

    Add remaining oil, then garlic, cabbage, and carrot. Stir-fry 2-3 minutes until cabbage wilts slightly but stays crisp.

  5. 5

    Return chicken to the pan, add noodles, sauce, and green onions. Toss everything together over high heat for 1-2 minutes until the sauce coats the noodles and thickens. Serve immediately.
