Chewy lo mein noodles stir-fried with tender chicken, colorful vegetables, and a savory soy-ginger sauce. A healthier, faster alternative to takeout that uses whatever vegetables you have in the fridge — on the table in 25 minutes.

Ingredients

Lo Mein Sauce

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper

Noodles and Stir-Fry

  • 8 oz lo mein noodles (or spaghetti)
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas or snow peas
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and toss with a little sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Whisk together all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add remaining oil to the wok. Add broccoli, snap peas, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  5. Add cabbage and toss for 1 minute.
  6. Return chicken to the wok. Add cooked noodles and pour sauce over everything. Toss vigorously for 2 minutes until noodles are evenly coated and heated through.
  7. Serve immediately, topped with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Lo mein or yakisoba noodles are ideal, but spaghetti cooked al dente works as a great substitute. Have all ingredients prepped before you start — stir-fry moves fast. Don't crowd the pan or the noodles will steam instead of fry.
