Serving: 4

Ingredients:

• 8 oz chow mein noodles
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, cabbage, and carrots), julienned
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• Optional: 1 cup cooked chicken, shrimp, or beef

Method:

1. Prepare Noodles:
   • Cook the chow mein noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Stir-Fry Vegetables:
   • Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over high heat. Add the onions and garlic, stir-frying until fragrant, about 1 minute.
   • Add the julienned vegetables and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are just tender.
3. Combine Ingredients:
   • If using protein (chicken, shrimp, or beef), add it to the pan and stir to combine.
   • Add the cooked noodles, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and broth. Toss everything together and stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until the noodles are heated through and evenly coated with the sauce.

Notes:

• For a vegetarian version, omit the oyster sauce and substitute with more soy sauce or a vegetarian oyster sauce.
• Adjust the amount of soy sauce and sesame oil according to taste preferences.
