Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 1 lb chicken breast, boneless, skinless
  • 3 tbsp oil

For the Noodles:

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

Chow Mein Sauce:

  • 6 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp light sesame oil (not toasted)
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar

Instructions

Instructions Step 1:

In a small bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, chicken broth, cornstarch, and sugar until smooth. Set aside.

Step 2:

Cook chow mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside to prevent sticking.

Step 3:

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Slice the chicken into thin strips and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until golden and fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4:

Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Stir-fry the carrots, cabbage, and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables start to soften but remain crisp.

Step 5:

Return the cooked chicken and noodles to the skillet. Pour the chow mein sauce over the mixture and toss everything together until the noodles are well-coated and the sauce thickens. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Step 6:

Sprinkle freshly chopped green onions over the top before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Cooking Notes

  • Use light sesame oil instead of toasted sesame oil to keep the sauce from overpowering the dish.
  • Do not overcook the vegetables; they should remain slightly crisp for the best texture.
