Ingredients
- 8 ounces Chow mein noodles
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Celery
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cups Cabbage
- 3 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Instructions
Cook the chow mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Slice the celery diagonally, thinly slice the onion, and shred the cabbage into thin strips. Mince the garlic and grate the fresh ginger.
In a small bowl, combine the low sodium soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Stir well and set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced celery and onion to the skillet, and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and stir-fry for 2 more minutes, until the cabbage wilts slightly.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the empty side and add the cooked chow mein noodles.
Pour the sauce mixture over the noodles and stir everything together, incorporating the vegetable mixture into the noodles.
Stir-fry the noodles and vegetables for 2-3 minutes until everything is well-coated and heated through.
Season with ground black pepper to taste.
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
