Chow Mein with Chicken
What are the best types of noodles used for Chow Mein?
Dry thin spaghetti is a good choice with a neutral taste and very easy to find.
Yakisoba is my first choice. They were found in cold packaged food in the production section of several grocery stores (I bought the Fortune brand in Kroger).
Fresh chow mein noodles (Hong Kong style noodles) are a good choice but more difficult to find in U.S. mi is available at several Asian wholesale stores. Honestly though I prefer yakisoba better here because they don't have a mild sour taste and they are not greasy.
Dry spaghetti. I've used this and it works really well here. It has a neutral taste and similar texture. Ordinary or thin will work.
Dry chow mein noodles (not crispy crackers) can also be used. I haven't tried this option so I can't give my opinion, but I think it's similar to the spaghetti option (but made with wheat flour vs. semolina).

Can I use other vegetables?
I like the mix of classic vegetables here, but you can definitely exchange some that you might already have like bean sprouts, mushrooms, peppers, snow peas, or water chestnut.
Do I Have to Use the Oyster Sauce?
Don't worry about finished dishes like oysters from sauce, it only gives a good taste.
When I don't have it in my fridge, I've used hoisin sauce in its place, so if you insist on passing it away with hoisin. It feels very different but both will add to the delicious taste of the rich.
Prepare noodles according to directions on package.
Whisk together soy sauce bowl, oyster sauce, sugar and sesame oil, set aside.
Oil heat in wok or large and deep non-stick skillet over moderately high heat.
Add chicken (working to leave a little space between pieces so will brown) and cook 3 - 4 minutes, turn and continue to cook until cooked through, about 2 - 3 minutes longer. Transfer to a plate or sheet of foil.
Reduce heat slightly add remaining 1 Tbsp oil in skillet, add celery and saute 3 minutes.
Add cabbage and saute 2 minutes, then add carrots, green onions, garlic and ginger and saute 1 - 2 minutes longer, until veggies are all crisp tenders.
