- Cook noodles according to package directions.
- Wash all the vegetables as needed. Cut the celery and the bok choy into 1/2-inch pieces on the diagonal. Wipe the mushrooms clean with a damp cloth and slice. Peel and chop the onion. Dice the green onion.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil. Add the white onion and the meat. Let the meat brown briefly, then stir-fry until the redness is gone and the meat is nearly cooked through. Remove the cooked meat and onion from the pan.
- Cook the rest of the vegetables separately, except for the green onion, seasoning each with a bit of salt while stir-frying if desired. Remove each of the vegetables from the pan when finished stir-frying. Add more oil as needed.
- Heat a wok or frying pan over medium-high to high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, add the noodles. Stir-fry noodles. Remove the noodles from the pan.
- Give the sauce a quick restir. Add all the ingredients back into the wok, making a "well" in the middle if the wok for the sauce. Add the sauce, stirring quickly to thicken. Mix everything together.
- Stir in the green onions. Pour the cooked vegetable and sauce mixture on top of the noodles. Garnish the chow mein with the toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot.
