Preparation Steps

  • In a bowl, combine sliced chicken breast with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Cook chow mein noodles according to package directions. Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients: soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, chicken broth, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add celery, carrots, and onion. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  • Add shredded cabbage, minced garlic, and minced ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the prepared sauce over the ingredients. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
  • Add the cooked chow mein noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together until the noodles are well combined with the sauce and vegetables. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!
