Chicken Chow Mein

Ingredients

• 1 lb refrigerated yakisoba or chow mein noodles*
• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts**, sliced into 1/2-inch thick strips
• 1 cup thinly sliced celery (3 stalks)
• 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
• 3 cups thinly sliced green cabbage
• 1 1/2 cups matchstick carrots
• 2/3 cup chopped green onions (about 5)
• 2 tsp minced ginger
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce,
• 1 Tbsp oyster sauce*** (or more to taste)
• 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp sesame oil

Instructions

1. Prepare noodles according to directions on package.
2. In a bowl whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar and sesame oil, set aside.
3. Heat oil in a wok or large and deep non-stick skillet over moderately high heat. 
4. Add chicken (working to leave a little space between pieces so they'll brown) and cook 3 - 4 minutes, turn and continue to cook until cooked through, about 2 - 3 minutes longer. Transfer to a plate or sheet of foil.
5. Reduce heat slightly add remaining 1 Tbsp oil in skillet, add celery and saute 3 minutes. 
6. Add cabbage and saute 2 minutes, then add carrots, green onions, garlic and ginger and saute 1 - 2 minutes longer, until veggies are all crisp tender.
7. Toss in noodles and chicken then pour soy sauce mixture over top and toss to coat. Serve warm.

Recipe Notes

• *8 oz dry spaghetti (thin or regular) will work great too.
• **Chicken thighs will work great too. Cook a few minutes longer as needed.
• ***I've also made this with hoisin sauce in place of oyster sauce when I don't have it. They have much different flavors but both give a delicious flavor.
