Ingredients

• 3 (3 ounce) packages ramen noodles (without flavor packets)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into strips
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 pinch ground black pepper, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup chopped shallots

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok over high heat, and cook and stir the chicken until it is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shallots and garlic, and cook and stir until they start to turn brown. Add the cabbage, carrots, broccoli, and mushrooms, and cook and stir until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

3) Stir in the ramen noodles, soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, and oyster sauce, mixing the noodles and sauces into the vegetables and chicken. Bring the mixture to a simmer, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve hot.
