Description
Chow Mein is a beloved Chinese stir-fry dish featuring tender chicken, fresh vegetables, and chewy noodles in a flavorful sauce.
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
- Begin by cooking the Chow Mein noodles according to package instructions.
- Once finished, drain the noodles and rinse them with cold water to prevent sticking. Set them aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. This will be your sauce.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat.
- Add the sliced chicken to the wok and cook until golden and cooked through for about 3-4 minutes.
- Once cooked, add in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and stir-fry together for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Now, add the shredded cabbage, julienned carrots, and thinly sliced celery to the wok.
- Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Toss in the cooked noodles and bean sprouts.
- Pour the prepared sauce over everything in the wok.
- Continuously toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until the noodles are heated through and everything is well-coated in the thickened sauce.
- Once everything is ready, serve your homemade Chow Mein hot and enjoy right away!
Notes
Do not overcook the noodles; keep all ingredients prepped; stir-frying on high heat is key to achieving ‘wok hei’ flavor.
