Quick and Tasty Panda Express Chow Mein Recipe

egg noodles

Hoisin sauce provides a similar sweetness without shellfish.

shrimp

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: tofu

Chicken is leaner and tofu is a budget-friendly protein alternative.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil offers healthier fats, while canola is often more affordable.

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, garlic paste, ginger paste, brown sugar, white pepper, and cornstarch.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery, and cabbage. Sauté until fragrant and tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Add noodles and the seasoning packet. Pour in the sauce and toss everything together until well combined and evenly coated.

Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until noodles are heated through and slightly crispy in some spots.

Garnish with sliced scallions and serve immediately.
