Cook the noodles until very al dente. (The noodles I use call for 3 minutes of boiling; I cook them for 2½ minutes. If the timing is different on your package, reduce the time accordingly.) Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and water until well combined. Prep the chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the chicken with 1½ tablespoons of the sauce, the cornstarch, and salt. Stir until the chicken is evenly coated. Heat 1½ tablespoons of the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken and cook, stirring frequently, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Add the remaining ¼ cup oil to the skillet, then add the cabbage, celery, carrots, scallions, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened and starting to brown, about 8 minutes. Add the noodles, chicken, and sauce and stir-fry for about one minute, until well combined and the noodles have absorbed the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Serve. Note: When shopping for chow mein noodles, opt for "stir-fry" style noodles instead of the deep-fried crispy variety. I use Wel-pac chow mein noodles, which cook in just a few minutes—you can find them at Target, Amazon, and many large supermarkets. But if you're in a pinch or can't locate them, feel free to use yakisoba noodles, ramen, or even spaghetti. Boil the noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
