Ingredients

Serves 4 

  • 10 oz. linguine
  • 1 tbsp. sesame oil
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 4 cups shredded napa cabbage (about1/2 medium head)
  • 2 medium carrots (cut into matchstick-size pieces)
  • 1 cup snow peas (about 4 oz.)
