- 14 oz Yakisoba noodles
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 medium, thinly sliced Onion
- 2 sliced diagonally Celery stalks
- 2 cups, shredded Cabbage
- 1 large, julienned Carrot
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon (vegetarian) Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar

Instructions
Begin by boiling a pot of water. Once boiling, add the yakisoba noodles and cook according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften and become translucent.
Next, add the sliced celery and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the shredded cabbage and julienned carrot, and continue to sauté for an additional 3 minutes or until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the cooked yakisoba noodles to the skillet, tossing them with the vegetables to combine.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce, sugar, and ground white pepper until well combined.
Pour the sauce over the noodle and vegetable mixture, stirring well to ensure even coating of the sauce.
Continue to cook for another 2 minutes, tossing constantly until everything is well mixed and heated through.
Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the top and give the chow mein a final toss before serving.
Serve hot as a delicious vegetarian main course or side dish.
