Ingredients
- 12 oz fresh Chow Mein noodles yakisoba style
- 2 cups cabbage thinly shredded
- 2 ribs celery thinly sliced on a bias
- ½ white onion thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce low sodium preferred
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- ½ tsp toasted sesame oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion, celery, and cabbage. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still crisp.
- Add the noodles to the wok. If using pre-packaged noodles that are clumped, use tongs to separate them as they warm up.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the noodles and vegetables. Toss constantly for 2–4 minutes until the noodles are well-coated and heated through.
- Remove from heat and drizzle with toasted sesame oil. Give it one last toss and serve immediately.
