  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • For the Chicken Chow Mein:
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 12 oz chow mein noodles (uncooked)
  • 2 cups cabbage (shredded)
  • 1 large carrot (julienned)
  • ½ batch green onions (chopped)
  • 2 garlic cloves (pressed)
  • For the Chow Mein Sauce:
  • 4 tbsp oyster sauce (or to taste)
  • 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp light sesame oil (not toasted)
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, chicken broth, cornstarch, and granulated sugar. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Noodles: Cook chow mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large wok or pan over medium heat. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized strips and cook them in the oil until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  4. Sauté Vegetables: In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil. Add the julienned carrots, shredded cabbage, and pressed garlic. Sauté for a few minutes until the veggies are slightly softened and the cabbage becomes a bit translucent.
  5. Combine Everything: Add the cooked chicken and noodles back into the pan. Pour the chow mein sauce over the top and toss everything together. Continue cooking for 2 more minutes, allowing the sauce to coat everything evenly.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the chow mein with chopped green onions. Serve hot, straight from the pan!

Notes

  • When using cooked chow mein noodles, it should measure about 1 lb.
  • Oyster Sauce Tip: Oyster sauce can vary in salt content. If you’re using regular soy sauce rather than low-sodium soy sauce, adjust the oyster sauce to taste.
