# Steps:
01 -
Heat a large sauté pan or wok over medium-high temperature until hot.
02 -
In a small bowl, combine chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, granulated sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, cornstarch, minced garlic, and hot pepper flakes. Set aside.
03 -
Add 15 ml of oil to the hot pan. Add sliced chicken tenderloins and cook, stirring frequently, until cooked through and lightly browned, approximately 4–5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

Add the remaining 15 ml oil to the pan. Once hot, add napa cabbage, onion, and shredded carrots. Cook, stirring, until vegetables are just al dente, about 3 minutes.

Return the cooked chicken to the pan. Pour in the prepared sauce and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens, 2–3 minutes.

Add the cooked noodles to the pan. Using tongs, toss gently until all ingredients are evenly coated with sauce.

Remove from heat. Garnish with additional sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
Best enjoyed fresh; noodles may break apart upon reheating. To reheat, use a covered saucepan over low heat with a splash of chicken broth for moisture.

If chow mein noodles are unavailable, substitute with cooked thin spaghetti, lo mein, or instant ramen noodles (without seasoning packets).
