- 1 lb chicken thighs
- 8 oz chow mein noodles
- 4 cups shredded green cabbage
- 2 cups shredded carrots
- 3 cups bean sprouts
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
Simple Sauce
- ⅓ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- 2-3 tsp sugar
Whisk sauce ingredients together, set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook noodles until tender. Drain and set aside.
Heat 1-2 tablespoon oil in a large pan or wok over medium high heat. Add chicken thighs and cook 4-5 minutes each side, until done. Remove and let rest 5 minutes until slicing into bite-sized pieces.
To pan, add veggies, garlic, and ginger, and cook until desired consistency (we like to leave a little crunch). Once veggies are done, remove from heat. To pan, add in chicken, cooked noodles, and sauce and toss well to combine. Serve immediately.
