• 1 bunch green onions
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 6-8 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   While the noodles are cooking, slice the chicken breast into thin strips. Season with salt and black pepper.

   Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4. 4

   In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.

5. 5

   Add the sliced cabbage and carrots to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

6. 6

   Add the bean sprouts and cooked chicken back into the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring to combine everything evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.

7. 7

   Add the cooked egg noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together for 2-3 minutes until the noodles are heated through and well coated with the sauce.

   Slice the green onions and sprinkle them over the chow mein. Serve hot.
