How To Make chicken chow mein

Step 1

Boil Chinese noodles according to package instructions. Drain well and toss with 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Heat large skillet over medium heat until a drop of water added sizzles. Working in 2 batches add the noodles and cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes or until they get crispy. Flip and crisp the other side. Repeat with second batch of noodles. Remove to bowl.

Step 2

Meanwhile mix together soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil and ginger. Set aside.
Step 3

Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to same skillet over medium high heat. Working in batches cook the chicken until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Remove chicken to plate.
Step 4

Add 1 tablespoons vegetable oil to same skillet over medium high heat until almost smoking. Add cabbage carrots, onions and celery; cook until crisp tender. Reduce heat to low and add garlic stirring constantly.
Step 5

Return cooked noodles and chicken to the skillet and stir to reheat. Add the sauce and stir to coat. Top with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
Step 6

NOTES Mirin is sweetened sake and is available at some high-end grocery stores. You can substitute 1 tablespoon sherry with 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar for mirin. If you can not find the mirin and you do not want to purchase the sherry simply add 1/2 -1 tablespoon of brown sugar to sweeten the sauce.
