Cook time15 min

Tender strips of chicken get a quick marinade before hitting a screaming-hot wok, where they turn golden at the edges and stay juicy inside. Crisp napa cabbage, sweet julienned carrot, and crunchy bean sprouts join a fragrant hit of garlic and ginger, all tossed together with a deeply savory, glossy sauce that clings to every strand of noodle. Fresh scallions stirred in at the end keep things bright, and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds on top adds the perfect finishing crunch. The whole dish comes together fast in one pan, with that irresistible restaurant-style char and tangle of noodles you're craving. It's a satisfying, takeout-style favorite that fits neatly into a gluten free rotation, no delivery app required.
