Ingredients

For the Chicken:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed

1 tablespoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon fish sauce

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

For the Vegetables:

10 garlic cloves, minced

2 cups cabbage, shredded

2 carrots, shredded

4 green onions, sliced

2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated

6 ounces mushrooms, sliced

2 cups broccoli florets

2 celery stalks, sliced

For the Noodles and Sauce:

8 ounces buckwheat lo mein noodles

¼ cup soy sauce

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

1 teaspoon fish sauce

1 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons Szechuan garlic butter

Cooking oil (canola or vegetable oil)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken: In a medium bowl, mix cubed chicken with garlic powder, salt, pepper, fish sauce, and ginger. Let it marinate briefly.

  • Cook the Noodles: Boil a pot of water, add buckwheat noodles, and cook per package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  • Sauté the Chicken: Heat oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Add Szechuan garlic butter and half the garlic during the last 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  • Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pan, add more oil if needed. Sauté the remaining garlic and ginger for a minute, then add cabbage, carrots, green onions, mushrooms, broccoli, and celery. Stir-fry until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.

  • Combine and Sauce: Return the chicken to the pan with vegetables. Add noodles, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, fish sauce, black pepper, and remaining garlic butter. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well coated.

Notes

  • Protein Swap: Substitute chicken with shrimp, beef, or tofu.

  • Vegetarian Option: Replace chicken with extra veggies or tofu, and use vegetable broth instead of fish sauce.

  • Spicy Version: Add chili flakes, chili oil, or fresh jalapeños for heat.

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of water or broth.
