  • 0.25 cup chicken broth

Preparation Steps

  • In a medium bowl, combine the chicken strips with soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Toss to coat and set aside to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the chow mein sauce. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add garlic and ginger and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add carrots, celery, and onion to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
  • Add broccoli florets and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the prepared chow mein sauce over the ingredients. Stir well to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
  • Add the cooked chow mein noodles to the skillet and toss everything together to coat the noodles with the sauce. Cook for another minute until heated through.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

You can customize the vegetables based on your preference. Mushrooms, bell peppers, and bean sprouts are also great additions.
