Ingredients

12 oz lo mein noodles (or spaghetti)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 cup sliced carrots

1 cup sliced bell peppers

1 cup shredded cabbage

¼ cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons oyster sauce

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon sugar

¼ cup chicken broth

Instructions

Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and chicken broth. Set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Sauté garlic and ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add carrots, bell peppers, and cabbage. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.

Return the chicken to the skillet and add the cooked noodles.

Pour the sauce over everything and toss well to coat. Cook for 2–3 minutes until heated through and glossy.

Garnish with green onions if desired and serve hot.

Notes

Use tamari and rice noodles to make this recipe gluten-free.

Add chili crisp or sriracha for extra heat.

Swap chicken for shrimp, tofu, or beef if preferred.
