A comforting and flavorful chow mein that’s better than your favorite takeout dish. Simple to make and packed with vibrant vegetables and chicken.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz Chow Mein noodles (fresh or dried)
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast (thinly sliced)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger (grated)
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup carrots (julienned)
  • 2 stalks celery (thinly sliced)
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chow Mein noodles according to package instructions. Once done, drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  2. Whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a small bowl to create a smooth sauce. Set aside.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the sliced chicken and sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the wok. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the shredded cabbage, julienned carrots, and sliced celery. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.
  6. Combine the cooked noodles and bean sprouts into the wok. Pour the prepared sauce over everything, coating each ingredient.
  7. Toss everything together continuously for 1-2 minutes until heated through and coated with sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

Serve with a side of vegetable spring rolls or a light cucumber salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
