Chow Mein

Chow Mein 1/4 c. soy sauce 1 Tbsp. brown sugar 2 cloves garlic minced 1 tsp. fresh ginger grated ground black pepper to taste 2-3 Tbsp. vegetable oil 3 5.6 oz packages refrigerated Yaki Soba noodles (Found in the produce section of the grocery store. Usually the 3 packages are sold together in one 17oz. pack) 2/3 c. chopped celery chopped diagonally 1 medium-sized onion thinly sliced 2 c. chopped cabbage In a small bowl combine soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger and black pepper. Set aside. Remove Yaki Soba from packages and discard included flavoring packets. Rinse noodles well, drain, and set aside. Heat oil in a large wok or skillet. Add celery and onion and saute for about 1-2 minutes or until onions start to become soft and transparent. Add cabbage and saute an additional minute or so. Toss Yaki Soba noodles and soy sauce mixture with the vegetables over medium-high heat for an additional 2-3 minutes or until noodles are heated through. Notes *In this recipe you can add a shake or two of sesame oil to the vegetable oil to add a deeper flavor, but don't overdo it! I am not including it in the recipe because the sesame oil flavoring can become overpowering real quick if you aren't careful. I have made it both ways (with and without sesame oil) and they both taste great.
