6 oz of Chow Mein Noodles prepared according to the package
2 boneless skinless, chicken breasts, sliced into 1/2 inch strips
2 TBSP vegetable oil
2 celery stalks
2 cups of thinly sliced green cabbage for ease, buy a bag of angle haired sliced green cabbage
½ cup carrots matchstick (*for ease, buy a small package of already cut up ones)
3 green onions chopped and divided
2 tsp minced ginger (*for ease, buy a tube of fresh ginger paste in the refrigerated section with the fresh herbs)
3 tsp of minced garlic *for ease, buy a jar of minced garlic to have on hand
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 TBSP oyster sauce
1/2 TBSP granulated sugar
1 tsp sesame oil
Salt and Pepper to taste

Prepare veggies as needed. Take a look at my times saving tips below! Season your chicken with salt and pepper to taste, and then cook it in 1 TBSP of the vegetable oil.
Once it is slightly browned, place it on a paper towel lined plate and sit to the side.
Cook your chow mein noodles according to the package and then drain and set aside.
Using the second TBSP of vegetable oil, cook your carrots and celery in your pan for 2-3 minutes. Add cabbage and 2 green onions, then cook till veggies are tender yet still crunchy. About 3-4 more minutes.
While your veggies are cooking combine the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and sesame oil to a small bowl.
Once your veggies are cooked, add your noodles and chicken back to the pan and pour your sauce over them. Using tongs, stir your dish till everything is covered in a sauce and warmed through. Garnish with 3rd green onion and enjoy!
