Ingredients:

Chow Mein Noodles-You can use fresh or dry. I used dry because they were cheaper.
2 Tbs ginger, minced
2 Tbs garlic, minced
chicken breast or tenderloins, sliced
scallions, sliced
carrot, shredded
snap peas
shittake mushrooms
(Of course you can use any veggies you want, these are just what is used in this particular recipe. I omitted the mushrooms and added bean sprouts.)

For the sauce:

1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
2 Tbs sesame oil
2 Tbs rice vinegar
1 Tbs brown sugar
1 Tbs corn starch
1/4 water

Directions:

Cook noodles according to package. Drain and run under cold water. I also added a few drops of sesame oil to keep them from sticking. Set aside.

Add 2 Tbs oil into a hot pan. Cook ginger and garlic for a minute. Add chicken to brown. Add veggies. Stir fry for a minute or two. Mix together all 6 sauce ingredients. Add sauce to pan and stir to coat. Add noodles and toss. You're done!
