It is best to use a large skillet when making this. That lets all the meat and veggies cook quickly and evenly.
Start by heating the oil in a large skillet. Add the chicken, garlic, ginger and soy sauce. You will this for just a few minutes until the chicken is browned. Then remove from the pan so it doesn’t get over cooked while the veggies cook.
Next add in the mushrooms and onions, because they take the longest to cook. If you wanted to use broccoli, asparagus or other veggies add them at this time. You can really use whatever vegetables you like and have on hand.
The cabbage and carrots don’t take very long to cook, so after the other veggies are soft you add these in and mix everything together. They will start to wilt down almost immediately.
Pour the sauce over everything and mix it all together.
Then you add the chicken back to the pan and let the sauce coat everything together and thicken slightly.
Finally toss in the cooked pasta that you are using and mix it all together. It comes together in about 20 minutes total and is a great meal for any night of the week!
