Ingredients
- 8 oz Chow Mein noodles
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 1 medium Onion, sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 large Carrot, julienned
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 cups Green cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup Bean sprouts
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
- 1 tsp Fish sauce
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
Instructions
Boil the Chow Mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large wok or skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add sliced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the julienned carrot and sliced bell pepper to the wok, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
Mix in the shredded cabbage and stir-fry for 2 minutes, then add the bean sprouts and continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until all vegetables are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and cornstarch until smooth.
Pour the chicken broth mixture into the skillet along with the oyster sauce, fish sauce, and black pepper. Stir everything together.
Add the cooked noodles to the wok and toss until they are well coated in the sauce and mixed evenly with the vegetables.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring that the noodles are heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve immediately.
