Chow Mein Noodles that are kinda like Panda Express :)

We have had this at least a dozen times. My kids love it, and it comes together in under 15 minutes which is sometimes a good alternative to waiting for fried rice to cook.

• 1/4 cup soy sauce 
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed 
• 1 teaspoons freshly grated ginger  (I have also used dried…fresh is better)
• 1/4 tsp of black pepper
• 2 (5.6-ounce) packages refrigerated Yaki-Soba, seasoning sauce packets discarded* 
• I often use 3 good old Ramen Noodle packs. So cheap!
• 2 tablespoons olive oil 
• it calls for 1 onion diced and I think that is WAY too much. I usually just do a few stalks of green onion and call it good
• 3 stalks celery, sliced diagonally 
• 2 cups shredded cabbage (I do about half a head)

• In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar, ginger and white pepper; set aside. 
• In a large pot of boiling water, add Yaki-Soba until loosened, about 1-2 minutes; drain well. 
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add onion and celery, and cook, stirring often, until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in cabbage until heated through, about 1 minute. 
• Stir in Yaki-Soba and soy sauce mixture until well combined, about 2 minutes. 
• Serve immediately.
• *Yaki-Soba is ramen-style noodles and can be found in the refrigerated aisle of your local grocery store.
