Stepwise Method: Easy Chicken Lo Mein

• Begin by bringing a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the lo mein noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 4-5 minutes until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
• While the noodles are cooking, slice the chicken breast (or thigh meat) into thin strips. In a bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of minced ginger. Add the chicken to the marinade and let it sit for about 10 minutes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of wok oil in your wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until it’s cooked through and no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
• In the same wok, add 3 teaspoons of minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, carrots, and onions. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes until they’re tender-crisp.
• Return the cooked chicken to the wok with the vegetables. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon of minced ginger, and 1 teaspoon of sriracha (if using). Pour this sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
• Add the cooked lo mein noodles to the wok, tossing everything together to ensure the noodles are well-coated with the sauce and combined with the chicken and vegetables. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
• Serve your Easy Chicken Lo Mein immediately, garnished with additional green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy your homemade deliciousness!
