Servings: 4
Ingredients
Sauce:
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 ½ tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
Lo Mein:
- 1 lb. chicken breast diced
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups broccoli chopped into small florets
- 2 bell peppers sliced
- ¾ cup shredded carrots
- 2 green onion whites and greens separated
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 8 oz. lo mein noodles, or spaghetti noodles
Instructions
- Start by making the sauce: whisk all sauce ingredients together in a small bowl or glass measuring cup; set aside.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil then add the noodles and cook until al dente (don't over-cook). Drain and set aside.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Pour the sesame oil into the skillet and heat over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook until browned, then remove and set aside.
- Add olive oil to that same skillet, along with the broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, and white part of the green onions. Sauté for 5 minutes or until softened, then add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
- Add the chicken back into the skillet, along with the cooked noodles, then pour the sauce in and stir until everything is coated.
- Remove from the heat, then sprinkle with the remaining green onions. Enjoy!
