How to cook deliciously - Copycat Panda Express Chow Mein

1 . Stage

Fill a wok or large, high-sided skillet with water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add noodles and cook just until loosened, about 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.

2 . Stage

In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, pepper, sugar, and oyster sauce.

3 . Stage

Heat wok over high (make sure it’s completely dry) and add oil. Once oil begins smoking, add cabbage, celery, and onions. Stir-fry, mixing frequently, until slightly softened and wilted, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and cook until just fragrant, about 1 minute.

4 . Stage

Add noodles and, using tongs, toss until completely combined.

5 . Stage

Give sauce a quick whisk and add to wok. Toss until combined and noodles are completely coated in sauce, being careful not to break noodles into small pieces.
