Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken breast boneless, skinless
  • 3 Tbsp oil
  • 12 oz chow mein noodles uncooked noodles
  • 2 cups cabbage
  • 1 large carrot julienned
  • 1/2 batch green onions
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 4 Tbsp oyster sauce or added to taste
  • 3 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp light sesame oil not toasted
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 Tbsp corn starch
  • 1 Tbsp granulated sugar

Equipment

  • Frying Pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Chef's Knife

Method
 

  1. In a small mixing bowl, use a whisk to combine oyster sauce, granulated sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce, chicken broth, and corn starch. Set aside.
  2. Cook your chow mein noodles according to package instructions then drain, rinse with cold water and set aside.
  3. Heat a large wok or pan with olive oil over medium heat. Cut your chicken breasts into bite-sized strips and cook them in the oil until golden brown. Remove strips and set aside.
  4. Add carrots, cabbage, and pressed garlic, and sauté for a few minutes until veggies are slightly softened and the cabbage is a bit translucent.
  5. Add chicken and noodles back into the pan. Pour sauce over the top and continue cooking all the ingredients together for another 2 minutes.
  6. Garnish your chow mein with chopped green onions and serve the noodles straight from the pan and piping hot!

Notes

  • Tip 1: When using cooked Chow Mein Noodles, it should measure to about 1 lb.
  • Tip 2: Oyster sauce can vary in salt content, and if you use regular soy sauce rather than reduced, you will want to adjust the oyster sauce to taste.
