How to cook it · about 45 minutes
- Soak the noodles in cold water for 10 minutes until pliable, then drain.
- Slice the chicken thin. Shred the cabbage, cut the carrots into matchsticks, and slice the green beans and celery on an angle. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
- Heat the oil in a wok or your widest pan over medium-high heat. Cook the onion and garlic 2 minutes, then add the chicken and cook 4 to 5 minutes until no longer pink.
- Add the carrots, green beans and celery for 3 minutes, then the cabbage for 1 minute. Scoop out about half the vegetables and set aside so they stay crisp.
- Pour in the broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce and pepper and bring to a boil. Add the noodles and toss with tongs for 4 to 6 minutes until they absorb all the liquid and are tender.
- Fold the reserved vegetables back in. Serve topped with sliced green onions and lemon wedges to squeeze over.
