Here’s what you’ll need:
– 1 lb chicken breasts, thinly sliced
– 2 cups crispy chow mein noodles
– 1 cup cabbage, shredded
– 1 cup carrots, julienned
– 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced

– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
– 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– 1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions:
1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, sugar, chicken broth, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
2. Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the chicken slices and stir-fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Stir-Fry the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if necessary. Add cabbage, carrots, and half of the green onions. Stir-fry until the vegetables are just tender, about 3-4 minutes.
