Instructions

  1. First, start by cooking the chow mein noodles according to the package. Just so they don’t get too mushy, pull them out 1 minute sooner than the instructions.
  2. While the noodles cook, shred the cabbage.
  3. Heat up a large pan or wok over high heat and add in the canola oil.
  4. Fry the cabbage for just 2-3 minutes, and add the garlic in for the last 20-30 seconds.
  5. Add in both of the soy sauces, the oyster sauce, and the water. Cook for 1 minute.
  6. Finally, take out the noodles and add that to the wok as well just for another minute to crisp up and get covered in the sauce.
  7. Enjoy right away!
