Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and marinate with soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and black pepper. Set aside.
  2. Blanch the chow mein noodles in boiling water for 30-60 seconds, then rinse under cold water, drain, and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, black vinegar, and black pepper to create your sauce.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add cooking oil. Add the marinated chicken and sauté for 2-3 minutes until browned.
  2. Toss in the sliced onions and shiitake mushrooms, stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the carrots and celery, sauté for 1-2 minutes, followed by the sliced cabbage. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until veggies are tender yet crisp.
  4. Incorporate the noodles, drizzle the prepared sauce over everything, and sauté on high heat for another 2-3 minutes to combine.
  5. Lastly, add the green onions and give everything a final sauté on high heat for 1 minute.

Notes

Feel free to swap out veggies based on what you have. Options like bell peppers, snap peas, or bok choy could work beautifully. For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with tofu or an assortment of your favorite vegetables.
