Ingredients

8 oz chow mein noodles

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced

1 small onion, thinly sliced

1 bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 cup shredded carrots

2 cups cabbage, thinly sliced

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons oyster sauce

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon grated ginger

2 green onions, sliced

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cook the chow mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.

  • Add the thinly sliced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry until cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside.

  • In the same pan, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the onion, bell pepper, carrots, and cabbage. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

  • Return the cooked chicken to the pan. Add garlic and ginger, stir-fry for another minute until fragrant.

  • Add the cooked noodles to the pan, followed by the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and sesame oil. Toss everything together until well-coated and heated through.

  • Top with sliced green onions and toss again. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

  • Reheating: Reheat in the microwave or on the stove with a splash of water to prevent noodles from drying out.

  • Freezing: Freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw and reheat thoroughly before serving.
