Ingredients

Chicken

½ lb. chicken breasts cut in chunks
1 tablespoon avocado or canola oil
2 teaspoon oyster sauce
Salt and pepper

Noodles:

10 oz noodles or spaghetti

Veggies:

2 cups cabbage thinly cut
3 cloves garlic chopped
3 scallions sliced lengthwise

Sauce:

2 tablespoon soy sauce
3 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
⅓ cup sherry wine

Instructions

Preparation:

Make sure your chicken is cut up in cubes, cabbage is thinly sliced, scallions are sliced lengthwise and garlic is chopped.

Noodles:

Prepare noodles according to directions on package. Drain and set aside.

Frying Chicken:

Preheat a large skillet or wok over medium high heat. Add oil and oyster sauce. Once the oil is hot, add chicken, seasoning it with salt and pepper right in the pan.
Cook on medium high heat for 3 minutes without flipping. Reduce heat to medium, flip and cook for 3 additional minutes (for a total of 6). By the way, using oyster sauce while frying chicken is what gives chicken that nice brownish color. Remove chicken from skillet to preserve that nice color (you can also leave it if color is not an issue).
Add thinly cut cabbage to the skillet and cook until wilted, add garlic only after cabbage is wilted. Next add soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark brown sugar and sherry wine - bring to low simmering point. Add scallions at the very end (they should be barely cooked for this recipe).

Adding Noodles and Chicken:

Add chicken (if removed before) to the skillet. Mix with the cabbage and scallions and reheat for 1-2 minutes. Add noodles (or spaghetti) to the skillet with chicken, cabbage and scallions. Mix well. Serve in bowls.
