Directions
Step 1
Start by cooking the chow mein noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and rinse them under cold water to stop cooking, and then set them aside.
Step 2
In a large wok or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the sliced white onion and celery to the pan, and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Step 4
Add the shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, and minced garlic to the pan. Continue to stir-fry for another 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 5
Push the vegetables to one side of the pan, and pour the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil into the empty side. Add the cooked noodles to the pan on top of the oil.
Step 6
Pour the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar over the noodles. Toss everything together using tongs until the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.
Step 7
Sprinkle with white pepper and continue to stir-fry until the noodles are heated through and mixed well with the vegetables.

Remove from the heat, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade Vegan Panda Express Style Chow Mein!
