- 3 cups cabbage, chopped
- 1 large carrot, cut into matchsticks
- 1 thumb ginger, peeled and minced

Preparation
Massage the baking soda into the slices of meat.
Mix the rest of the marinade ingredients together in a bowl and toss the meat in.
Let marinate for at least 20 minutes.
Mix the sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
Boil the noodles as per package directions. Rinse, toss in a 1/2 teaspoon of oil, and set aside.
Cut the green part of the scallions into 1” pieces, then cut the white parts into 1/2” pieces; set aside separately along with 1/4 of the bean sprouts.
Add 2 tablespoons of oil to a wok or skillet over high heat, then add half the venison and let sear for 2 minutes. Flip and let sear for 1 more minute.
Set aside in a bowl, then repeat with the rest of the venison. Repeat.
Add more oil if need be. Add half of the vegetables (cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts) and sear, tossing and stir frying for 3-4 min. Transfer the vegetables to the bowl with the meat. Repeat with the other half.
Add more oil to the skillet if need be and add the garlic and ginger and half of the noodles. Sear for 2 minutes tossing, and stir-frying.
Throw the noodles into the bowl with the meat and veggies. Repeat with the last of the noodles.
Add everything (the meat, veggies, noodles, and reserved scallions and bean sprouts) back to the skillet.
Stir the sauce to re-incorporate the cornstarch, then add it to the noodles.
Reduce heat to medium and cook until the noodles absorb the sauce.
Enjoy!
