Ingredients
For the Chow Mein:

  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 12 oz chow mein noodles (uncooked)
  • 2 cups cabbage, shredded
  • 1 large carrot, julienned
  • ½ batch green onions, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

For the Chow Mein Sauce:

Instructions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together oyster sauce, granulated sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce, chicken broth, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Noodles: Cook chow mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Cut chicken into bite-sized strips and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
  4. Sauté the Vegetables: Add remaining oil to the pan and sauté carrots, cabbage, and garlic for 3-4 minutes, until vegetables are softened and cabbage is translucent.
  5. Combine and Cook: Add the cooked chicken and noodles back to the pan. Pour sauce over the top and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring everything is evenly coated and heated through.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.
