Instructions
Prepare 1 pound chow mein noodles according to package instructions; drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 1/4 cup chicken broth, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger (or ginger paste), 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until smooth and cornstarch is dissolved.
Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil (or canola) in a large pan or wok over high heat until shimmering.
Add the 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (sliced into thin pieces) and stir-fry, tossing frequently, until the chicken is just cooked through and no longer pink in the center (about 4–6 minutes, depending on thickness).
Add 1 clove garlic, minced, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
Add 2 cups coleslaw mix and stir-fry 1–2 minutes, until the cabbage has wilted but still has some crunch.
Add the prepared noodles and the sauce mixture to the pan. Toss or stir constantly for 1–2 minutes, until the sauce thickens and evenly coats the noodles and fillings.
Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve immediately.
