Ingredients

  • 14 oz fresh chow mein noodles
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 0.25 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 2 tbsp Chinese cooking wine
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 0.25 tsp pepper
  • 1 onion, peeled and sliced thinly
  • 0.5 head cabbage, sliced thinly
  • 4 stalks celery, sliced thinly on a bias

Instructions

  1. Loosen the yakisoba noodles and remove excess oil by gently rinsing under warm water. Drain it well.

  3. In wok or wide pan on high heat, heat canola oil.

  4. Mix in onions, cabbage, and celery. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the vegetables begin to caramelize.

  5. Toss in noodles and sauce mixture. Using tongs, gently stir together until combined and evenly coated with sauce.

  6. Keep cooking for about 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through and sauce is mostly absorbed. Serve while hot.
