Chicken and Vegetable Lo Mein
No Image
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
- Cook noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and toss with a little sesame oil to prevent sticking.
- Whisk together all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
- 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.
- Add remaining oil to the wok. Add broccoli, snap peas, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Add cabbage and toss for 1 minute.
- 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.
- 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.
