Ingredients

¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoon brown sugar
½ teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon grated ginger
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound chicken breast or chicken thighs cut in thin bite size pieces
6-7 ounces Chinese wheat noodles see notes
2 carrots peeled and cut in matchstick
1 small onion finely diced
1 red bell pepper cut julienne
2 cups shredded Napa cabbage or green cabbage
2 green onions thinly sliced garnish

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic.
Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and brown on both sides. Work in batches and remove to a plate. Cover to keep warm. Add more vegetable oil if needed.
Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to package instructions and drain well in a colander.
Add the carrots, onion, bell pepper, and cabbage to the hot skillet. Cook just until crisp tender. Add the noodles, cooked chicken, and sauce to the skillet. Toss to coat and cook over low heat until everything is warm and coated with sauce. Top with green onions. For best results, serve promptly.

Notes

Cut your chicken into thin strips so it cooks all the way through quickly and easily.
Substitute beef, pork, or shrimp for the chicken.
The sauce can be prepared up to a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
There are lots of different Asian noodles that work for this recipe, such as Yakisoba noodles, soba noodles, Chinese noodles made with wheat flour, and even ramen noodles. Follow the directions on the package for preparing the noodles to add to the stir fry.
Other veggies to add or substitute include shiitake mushrooms, broccoli, snow peas, zucchini, bok choy, bean sprouts, and celery.
If your family likes their stir fry with extra sauce, simply double the sauce ingredients.
You can easily prepare this dish in a skillet or a wok, as both work well.
Any color bell pepper works. I just like the sweet taste and bright pop of color from a red bell pepper.
Sometimes, Napa cabbage is hard to find. If so, simply substitute green cabbage.
