  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  2. Cook the Noodles – Boil Chow Mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and toss with a little sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Coat the Chicken – In a bowl, toss the chicken with cornstarch and 1 tsp soy sauce to tenderize it.
  4. Stir-Fry the Chicken – Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a pan over high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  5. Stir-Fry the Vegetables – Add another tbsp of oil to the pan. Stir-fry garlic and ginger for 30 seconds, then add cabbage, carrots, and bell peppers. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.
  6. Combine Everything – Return the chicken to the pan, add the noodles, and pour in the sauce. Toss everything together for 2-3 minutes until well coated and heated through.
  7. Serve & Enjoy – Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot!
