Here’s what you’ll need:
– 1 lb chicken breasts, thinly sliced
– 2 cups crispy chow mein noodles
– 1 cup cabbage, shredded
– 1 cup carrots, julienned
– 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
For the Sauce:
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
– 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– 1 tablespoon sugar
– 1/2 cup chicken broth
– 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, sugar, chicken broth, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
2. Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the chicken slices and stir-fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if necessary. Add cabbage, carrots, and half of the green onions. Stir-fry until the vegetables are just tender, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Combine and Finish: Return the chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the top and stir to combine. Add the crispy chow mein noodles and toss everything together until well coated and heated through. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
5. Serve: Garnish with the remaining green onions. Serve hot.
