  • 1/2 cup shredded or julienned carrots

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic 
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage

    Cup of Yum
  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil; add the chow mein noodles and cook according to package instructions.
  2. Preheat the oil in a large pan over medium high heat. 
  3. Add the chicken and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown.

  6. Add the noodles to the pan, along with the cabbage. Toss to combine.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey and sesame oil. Pour the soy sauce mixture into the pan.

Notes

  • You probably already have most of the ingredients for this recipe except for the chow mein noodles. I found dried chow mein noodles in the international aisle of my grocery store, they come in 6 ounce packages and cook very quickly.
  • I use a mandoline to cut my vegetables thin so that they cook quickly.
  • Cut your vegetable and chicken before you start cooking to save time.
