celery

red pepper

baby bella mushrooms

green onions

vegetable oil

cornstarch

soy sauce

vegetarian oyster sauce (or regular oyster sauce)

brown sugar

sesame oil

pepper

vegetable stock (or vegetable broth)

Prepare Vegetables

Finely shred the cabbage, coarsely mince the ginger and garlic. Peel the carrot and then julienne into very thin pieces. Very thinly slice the celery, red pepper, and mushrooms. Thinly slice the green onions to separate the white root from the green. You should get about 1/4 cup thinly sliced white roots. Reserve the greens for later.

Prepare Sauce

Add the cornstarch and soy sauce to a small bowl and whisk with a fork until completely smooth. Stir in the oyster sauce, stock, brown sugar, sesame oil, and pepper. Whisk until smooth. Reserve for later.

Prepare Noodles

Follow package directions to prepare the chow mein noodles. Rinse in cold water and set aside.

Sauté Vegetables

Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over high heat. Add the white parts of the onion and cook for about a minute, then add the garlic and ginger. Be careful not to let them burn; cook for only about 20 seconds. Next, add the red pepper, carrots, and celery. Stir-fry while stirring almost constantly for 2–3 minutes.

Combine

Add in the shredded cabbage and mushrooms. Stir constantly until veggies are tender and cabbage is wilted, about another 2–3 minutes. Stir in the cooked noodles and the sauce mixture. Toss with tongs for 1 minute. Add in reserved green onions and toasted sesame seeds, if desired. Enjoy immediately.

Made this with veggies I had at home (broccoli, carrots, celery, red onions, red peppers) and added mock chicken.  It was delicious and the kids loved it.
Will be adding this recipe to the rotation :)

My picky 6 year old liked it! I had to double the recipe and everyone loved it. Was a lot of chopping but was well worth it. Thanks!

I made this today and it was really good! Thank you for sharing this recipe.

This is SO tasty!  Family loved it.  We like it saucy, so we did doubled the sauce.  Super delicious!

This recipe was easy to prepare and downright delicious!  I added chicken since I'm not vegetarian but kept the rest of the recipe the same. It will be a regular in my rotation now.

Great recipe, family enjoyed very much. I didn't  have all the ingredients, so I use what I had.
Thank you
