Ingredients

4 servings

8 oz fresh or dried chow mein noodles (or thin lo mein noodles)
2 tbsp vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
2 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
1 medium carrot, julienned or cut into matchsticks
3 stalks celery, thinly sliced on the diagonal
3 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces, white and green parts separated
1 cup bean sprouts

For the sauce

1 tsp sesame oil
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp sugar
½ tsp ground white pepper

For finishing

1 tsp sesame oil, for finishing

Instructions

1
Cook the noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package directions until just tender, about 2–3 minutes for fresh or 4–5 minutes for dried. Drain in a colander, rinse briefly under cold water to stop cooking, and toss with 1 tsp sesame oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and white pepper until the sugar dissolves. Set the sauce aside.
