Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh egg noodles or wheat noodles
- ½ lb chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- ½ lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 cups cabbage, shredded
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
- 1
Cut the chicken breast into 1/4-inch-thick strips by slicing across the width of the meat, perpendicular to the length. This makes the chicken cook faster.
- 2
Mince the garlic cloves until the pieces are smaller than a grain of rice — about the size of pencil-tip dots.
- 3
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add the noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft enough to bite through but still slightly firm, about 4–5 minutes.
- 4
Drain the noodles in a colander and set aside.
- 5
Pour 2 tablespoons of oil into a 14-inch wok or large skillet and set the heat to medium-high until the oil shimmers and slides quickly when you tilt the pan, about 90 seconds.
- 6
Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and stir constantly for 30 seconds until the kitchen smells strongly fragrant.
- 7
Add the chicken strips to the pan and stir continuously, breaking up any pieces, until the surface is no longer pink, about 4–5 minutes.
- 8
Add the shrimp to the pan and stir constantly until they turn opaque and curl slightly, about 2–3 minutes.
- 9
Pour the cooked noodles into the pan and toss everything together with two wooden spoons or spatulas until combined, about 1 minute.
- 10
Add the shredded cabbage to the pan and stir continuously until it begins to soften and wilt, about 2 minutes.
- 11
Pour in 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and stir everything together for 1–2 minutes until the noodles are evenly coated and the vegetables are tender.
