Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 8 ounces lo mein noodles
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast sliced into small strips
  • 1 cup onion chopped
  • 1 cup snow peas
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced into strips
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • Green onion sliced, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet or wok
  • Pot
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Start by boiling a pot of water. Once boiling, add the lo mein noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Set this flavorful sauce aside to use later.
  3. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken breast and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion, snow peas, shredded carrots, red bell pepper, sliced mushrooms, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender but still crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Pour the sauce over the mixture, stirring to coat everything evenly. Finally, add the cooked lo mein noodles and toss everything together until well combined and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious homemade Chicken Lo Mein!

Notes

  • For a healthier option, use whole grain or vegetable lo mein noodles.
  • Swap out the chicken for tofu or shrimp for a different protein source.
  • Add in more vegetables like broccoli, bok choy, or baby corn for added nutrients.
