Ingredients

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and prepare the noodles according to the package directions, then drain and set them aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken stock, regular soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch until the starch is fully dissolved.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy skillet or wok over high heat until it just starts to shimmer.
  • Add the minced garlic, sliced onions, and celery to the pan and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften but still have a crunch.
  • Toss in the sliced cabbage and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cabbage is slightly wilted.
  • Add the cooked noodles to the skillet or wok and pour the sauce mixture over the top, tossing everything constantly with tongs or a spatula.
  • Cook for another 2-3 minutes over high heat to allow the noodles to sear slightly and the sauce to thicken and coat everything evenly.
  • Turn off the heat, drizzle the sesame oil over the noodles, give it one final toss, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
