Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 ounces dried egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup sliced celery
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 green onions, sliced for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook egg noodles according to package directions until tender but still firm. Drain them well and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, and white pepper to create the sauce. Set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Add the onion, garlic, cabbage, carrots, broccoli, and celery. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the cooked noodles.
  6. Pour the prepared sauce over the noodles, chicken, and vegetables. Toss everything together quickly until the noodles and ingredients are evenly coated and heated through, about 2 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For a healthier alternative to delivery, focus on using fresh vegetables.
  • If you are planning meals for the week, this recipe reheats well.
  • Consider using a sous-vide precision cooker for perfectly tender chicken before stir-frying if you have extra time.
