📝 Ingredients

• 6 oz chow mein noodles (or spaghetti noodles (dry))
• 3 Tbsp peanut oil ((or vegetable oil))
• 3 cloves garlic, (minced)
• 1/2 lb chicken breast, (cut into bite sized pieces)
• 1 scallion, (chopped)
• 1 c cabbage, (shredded (can substitute celery or bok choy))
• 1 carrot, (julienned)
• 3 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp white sugar

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Cook the noodles according to the packaged instructions. Drain and set aside. While the pasta is cooking, chop and prepare your other ingredients. (Cooking the chow mein goes very quickly, so it is best to have everything cut and ready before you start.)
2. 2Heat the oil in the bottom of your wok or large skillet, over high heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 10 seconds. Add the chicken pieces and sauté until cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Add the scallion, cabbage, carrot, and drained noodles. Sauté 2-3 minutes until the cabbage has wilted and everything is beginning to crisp.
3. 3Add the soy sauce and sugar. Mix to combine. Taste and add additional soy sauce if desired. Serve immediately.
