This easy Chicken and Vegetable Lo Mein recipe is inspired by the Chinese takeout dish, with a flavorful lo mein sauce, crisp veggies, chicken, and noodles!
Ingredients
8 ounces lo mein noodles (Chinese egg noodles)
4 tablespoons avocado oil (divided)
¼ cup oyster sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
½ cup Chicken stock/broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 pound chicken breasts (thinly sliced)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 1- inch fresh ginger (peeled and finely chopped)
2 cups green cabbage (thinly sliced)
1 red pepper (thinly sliced)
1 cup matchstick carrots
3 green onions (thinly sliced diagonally, white and dark green parts separated)
Method
1
Cook lo mein noodles in a pot of boiling water until just cooked (they should still be very chewy). Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Keep warm.
2
In a small bowl, stir together oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, chicken stock and cornstarch until well combined to make the sauce. Set aside.
3
In a large, heavy-bottomed pan, heat 2 tablespoons avocado oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring, until browned, about 2 minutes. Remove to a plate.
4
Add remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, garlic and ginger to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Then add cabbage, pepper, carrots, white parts of green onions and cook, stirring constantly, until cabbage is wilted, 2 minutes.
5
Add sauce and browned chicken and cook until vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2 minutes more.
6
Add noodles and toss to coat with the sauce. Sprinkle with dark sliced green onions and serve.
