Cooking time:   20 minutes
2 tablespoons   olive oil
1               small onion, chopped
3 cloves        garlic, minced
2               Chinese sausages, thinly sliced, or 1 cup diced ham or cooked pork
2 ribs  celery, sliced diagonally into 1-1/4 inch slices
2               carrots, peeled, julienned

1 can (16 ounces)       chicken broth

2 tablespoons   soy sauce
2 tablespoons   oyster sauce
1 package (13.5 ounces) wide rice noodles, soaked in hot water 10 minutes, drained
Salt, Freshly ground pepper to taste
(optional) Chopped green onion, sliced lemon

Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add onion and garlic.  Cook stirring frequently, until soft, about 4 minutes.  Add sausage, celery, carrots, cabbage and mushrooms; cook, stirring frequently, 10 minutes.

Add 1 cup of the broth.  Cook 5 minutes.  Add chicken and soy sauce.   Cook until heated through. Add remaining broth; cook until liquid begins to boil.  Remove from heat.  Stir in oyster sauce.

Set aside half the chicken and vegetable mixture, leaving as much liquid as possible in pan.  Add rice noodles.  Cook, stirring frequently, until noodles are tender, about 10 minutes.  Add additional broth or water if noodles become dry.

Arrange noodle mixture on serving platter; top with reserved chicken mixture.  Garnish with green onions and sliced lemon, if desired.
