Ingredients

• 8 ounces chow mein noodles
• 1 pound chicken breast
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1 medium carrot
• 2 cups green cabbage
• 1 large bell pepper
• 3 stalks green onions
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon white pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cook the chow mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

Step 2

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. In a small bowl, toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and set aside to marinate for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Chop the garlic and ginger finely. Peel and julienne the carrot. Thinly slice the cabbage, bell pepper, and green onions.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and 2 tablespoons of water to create the sauce. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the carrots, cabbage, and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 8

Return the chicken to the pan and add the cooked noodles. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture. Toss everything together well to coat evenly.

Step 9

Add the sliced green onions, salt, and white pepper. Toss and sauté for an additional 2 minutes until heated through.
