Ingredients

  • 8 oz lo mein noodles, egg noodles, or spaghetti
  • 1 lb boneless chicken breast or thigh, thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, minced (optional)
  • 1/2 onion or 2 scallions, sliced
  • 1 carrot, thinly sliced or julienned
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snow peas or broccoli florets
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil (vegetable or canola)
  • 1 tsp brown sugar or honey (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds and chopped cilantro or scallions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook noodles according to package directions until just tender. Drain and toss with sesame oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar or honey.
  3. Heat neutral oil in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Stir-fry sliced chicken seasoned with salt and pepper until golden and cooked through (4–5 minutes). Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, stir-fry onions and carrots for 2 minutes. Add bell peppers and snow peas or broccoli, cooking until just tender-crisp (2–3 more minutes).
  5. Return chicken to the pan along with noodles. Pour in the sauce and toss everything together until well-coated and heated through (1–2 minutes).
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions or cilantro. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Prep veggies and chicken in advance for quicker weeknight cooking.
  • Customize with your favorite protein or vegetables.
  • Add chili-garlic sauce or crushed red pepper for heat.
  • Use tamari for a gluten-free version.
