Directions
Get the noodles ready:
Follow the directions on the package to prepare the chow mein noodles.  After draining, set away.

To marinate the chicken:
Combine the sliced chicken, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and a dash of salt and pepper in a bowl.  Give it ten minutes to marinate.

To stir-fry the chicken:
Place a wok over medium-high heat and heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.  Stir-fry the marinated chicken for four to five minutes, or until it is cooked through.  Take out and put aside.

To cook the vegetables:
Add another tablespoon of oil to the same skillet.  The bell pepper, carrot, cabbage, onion, and garlic should all be sautéed for three to four minutes until they are crisp-tender.

Mix Everything Together: 
Return the chicken and cooked noodles to the wok.  Add the remaining oyster sauce, sesame oil, and soy sauce.  Mix everything until it's evenly coated.  Add 1 tsp cornflour and 2 tbsp water to the skillet if you want a richer sauce.

Serve: 
Add sesame seeds or chopped green onions as a garnish.  Enjoy it hot!
