  • 1 cup Carrots, julienned
  • 1/2 cup Green onions, chopped

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Cook the chow mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large, deep skillet or wok, heat a splash of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Cooking

  • Add the sliced chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and let it rest.
  • In the same skillet, add more oil if needed and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
  • Add the shredded cabbage and julienned carrots, stir-frying until they are tender-crisp.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and optional cornstarch. Pour this over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat.
  • Add the cooked chow mein noodles, tossing gently to combine.
  • Before serving, sprinkle in the chopped green onions and adjust seasoning as necessary.
  • Serve warm and enjoy the meal with your family.

Notes

Cook noodles just right to avoid mushiness. Use fresh ingredients for brighter flavors. Enjoy the cooking process and experiment with different proteins and vegetables.
