Preparation Steps

  • In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces with soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  • Cook the chow mein noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients: soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, white pepper, and chicken broth. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the celery, carrots, and onion. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
  • Add the shredded cabbage and bean sprouts to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the cabbage is slightly wilted.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the cooked noodles and pour the prepared sauce over everything. Toss well to combine and coat the noodles and vegetables evenly with the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Panda Express Chow Mein!

Notes

Feel free to adjust the vegetables based on your preference. For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
