Instructions

1
Soak the chow mein noodles in cold water for about 5 minutes, rinsing a few times until the water runs clear and the noodles soften. Don't over-soak or they'll turn soggy.
5:00 timer
2
Drain the noodles well in a colander so they are dry and won't clump.
3
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, dark soy sauce, and water to make the chow mein sauce. Set aside.
4
Heat a wok or skillet over high heat with the cooking oil — be generous with the oil.
5
Add the minced garlic and stir-fry until light brown and aromatic.
6
Add the chicken strips and shrimp and stir-fry until they are about half cooked.
7
Add the shredded cabbage and carrot and stir-fry quickly.
8
Add the drained noodles and the sauce mixture. Toss and stir-fry — using chopsticks helps loosen the noodles and keeps them from clumping — until the noodles are well coated and cooked through.
9
Add the scallions, give a few final stirs, dish out, and serve hot.
