Directions
Sauce
In a small mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and whisk until fully combined.
Noodle Assembly
In a large wok over medium-high heat add vegetable oil and swirl to coat.
Once the oil is beginning to smoke, add chicken gently into one layer to cook evenly. Season lightly with salt, searing 1 to 2 minutes, and then stir fry and add more salt to taste.
Once your chicken is just cooked through, about 3-4 more minutes, add cabbage, carrot, celery, and green onion, season again lightly with salt to taste.
Stir fry for about 2 minutes, or just until the vegetables are softened.
Add chow mein noodles, according to package directions (some are parboiled, others will need to be boiled prior to this step), and toss to combine.
Add your bean sprouts (optional) and the sauce, toss until sauce is completely incorporated and thickened.
Turn off heat, add garlic, and stir until completely combined and fragrant.
Plate and optionally garnish with remaining green onions.
