Prep: 7 minutes
Cook: 8 minutes

Ingredients

  • 16 oz fresh Chinese egg noodles
  • 1 lb chicken breast or thigh
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 ½ cups stir fry vegetables
  • 1 stalk scallion
  • 2 teaspoons toasted white sesame seeds
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • 2 Tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons dark soy sauce
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp
  • 1 teaspoon Thai chili pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. 1

    Add the ingredients for the lo mein sauce in a medium-sized bowl and stir together until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 2

    Marinate the chicken with one tablespoon of the prepared sauce while prepping the vegetables.

  3. 3

    Boil the noodles until they are al dente, 1 or 2 minutes shy of the package instructions. Rinse under cold water and drizzle on a tiny amount of oil to prevent them from sticking.

  4. 4

    Heat a wok or pan over medium-high heat and add the oil. Cook the chicken until fully cooked and then remove it from the pan and set it aside.

  5. 5

    Add the vegetables and stir fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until tender but crisp.

  6. 6

    Add the noodles and sauce to the pan and toss to combine for 1 to 2 minutes. The sauce should become shiny, glossy, and thick.

  7. 7

    Add the chicken back in and combine together. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy!
