Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast thinly sliced
  • 8 oz lo mein noodles
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 cup snow peas
  • 2 carrots julienned

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp ginger minced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. Chop bell pepper, snow peas, and carrots into desired sizes. Mince ginger and garlic.
  • In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, minced ginger, and garlic. Mix well until cornstarch is dissolved.

Cooking

  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove from pot and set aside.
  • In the same pot, add bell pepper, snow peas, and carrots. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until just tender.
  • Add the noodles and sauce mixture to the pot. Stir well to combine with the vegetables. Add cooked chicken back to the pot.
  • Cover and let cook for 5-7 minutes, or until noodles are cooked through and sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally.

Serving

  • Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy hot.

Storage

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stove or microwave, adding a splash of water to loosen the sauce.

Notes

Pro Tips: Marinate the chicken to enhance flavor. Use fresh vegetables for the best texture.
Ingredient Substitutions: Substitute tofu for chicken for a vegetarian option. Use tamari for a gluten-free dish.
How to Serve: Serve with a side of egg rolls or a fresh salad.
Storage & Freshness: Best consumed within 3 days. Reheat with a bit of water to maintain sauce consistency.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare the sauce and chop vegetables ahead of time for quicker assembly.
