Ingredients

2 tablespoons canola oil, divided

1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs), cut in 1/2 inch strips

3 cups sliced green cabbage

1 1/2 cups matchstick carrots

1 bunch green onions, sliced (about 1/2 cup)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

1 (5 oz.) can of dry chow mein noodles

1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons hoisin sauce (or oyster sauce)

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Method

Heat 1 tablespoon of the canola oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken and stir fry until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Reduce heat to medium, add remaining oil then add the cabbage, carrots and the white and light green parts of the green onions. Cook until crisp tender, about 3 minutes, stirring regularly.

Next, add the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 more seconds.

Meanwhile, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.

Return the chicken to the pan, add the chow mein noodles and add the sauce. Stir well to ensure everything is well coated and cook 2 minutes, until heated through.

Serve immediately, topped with reserved green parts of the sliced green onions.
