Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 2 chicken breasts cut 1 inch pieces 16.8 oz
  • 3/4 cup celery sliced (1.5 sticks)
  • 3 cups carrot julienned (about 2 medium carrots)
  • 2 1/2 cups onion thinly sliced (about 1 medium onion)
  • 2 lb Yakisoba noodles
  • 1 medium cabbage chopped
  • 12 oz fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar

Instructions

  • Chop up the vegetables and chicken. Whenever I know I'm making a dish that requires a good amount of chopping, I chop my veggies the night before, cover them in plastic warp and refrigerate them. This really speeds up the cooking processes.
  • Heat olive oil in a large wok over medium high heat. Add the minced garlic and stir for about 1 minute.
  • Place the diced chicken into the wok and stir until light brown and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  • Add the chopped onions, and sauté them until they become translucent.
  • Toss in the carrots and celery and stir until softened. Then add in the cabbage, bell pepper, and broccoli and stir for about 4 minutes.
  • Pour in rice vinegar and soy sauce and sprinkle in the sugar. You may want to add a little more soy sauce depending on how salty you prefer your food.
  • Add in the Yakisoba noodles. The noodles might be very compact at first, but they will separate after they sit in the hot wok for a few minutes.
  • Stir the noodles for another 3-5 minutes or until they've all separated. Remove from heat and serve warm.
