Ingredients

Units Scale

Lo Mein:

  • 8 ounces lo mein noodles or spaghetti
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Chicken and Vegetables:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast (thinly sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
  • 1 cup matchstick carrots
  • 1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
  • 3 green onions (sliced)

For the Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

  1. Cook the Noodles: Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse, and toss with sesame oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the chicken and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5–6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Vegetables: In the same skillet, heat remaining oil. Add cabbage, carrots, and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until slightly tender.
  4. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, water, garlic powder, and ground ginger.
  5. Combine and Serve: Return the chicken to the skillet along with the noodles and sauce. Toss everything together and cook for 2–3 minutes until heated through and well coated. Stir in green onions and serve hot.

Notes

  • Add broccoli, snap peas, or mushrooms for variety.
  • For extra heat, drizzle with sriracha or sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
