Chicken Yakisoba

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cut into bite-size pieces
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Asian-style chile paste
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1/2 medium head cabbage, thinly sliced
• 1 onion, sliced
• 2 carrots, cut into matchsticks
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 2 pounds cooked yakisoba noodles
• 2 tablespoons pickled ginger, or to taste (optional)

Directions

Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil and sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chicken and garlic in hot oil until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir chile paste into chicken mixture; cook and stir until chicken is completely browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add soy sauce and simmer for 2 minutes. Pour chicken and sauce into a bowl.

Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in the skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir cabbage, onion, carrots, and salt in hot oil until cabbage is wilted, 3 to 4 minutes.

Stir the chicken mixture into the cabbage mixture. Add noodles; cook and stir until noodles are hot and chicken is no longer pink inside, 3 to 4 minutes. Garnish with pickled ginger.
