Instructions

Season chicken strips with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken until slightly browned. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Prepare chow mein noodles according to package instructions, drain well, and set aside.
In the same pan, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir-fry carrots and celery for about 2-3 minutes until softened. Add cabbage and two chopped green onions; cook until veggies are tender yet still slightly crunchy (about another 3-4 minutes).
Mix minced ginger, garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
Return cooked noodles and chicken to the pan with vegetables; pour sauce over everything. Gently toss to combine until heated through. Garnish with remaining green onion before serving.
