Chicken Lo Mein

Cui­sine Asian

Author Liz Geeslin

Ingredients

Noodles

• 8 ounces Lo Mein noo­dles The pack­age I pur­chased was 16 ounces.
• 1 tbsp sesame oil

Chicken, Peppers, Garlic and Ginger

• 2 tbsp oil I use MCT
• 1 1/​2 pounds chick­en breast or chick­en ten­der­loins, sliced thin
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 tsp gin­ger, grated
• 2 large gar­lic cloves, minced or crushed

Sauce

• 3/​4 cup water
• 1/​4 cup soy sauce, low sodium
• 2 tbsp corn­starch
• 1 tbsp oys­ter sauce
• 1 tbsp oil I use MCT

Vegetables

• 2 medi­um car­rots, sliced thin
• 1 large green onion bunch, sliced thin
• 1 cup shred­ded cab­bage I used coleslaw mix and add in more if omit­ting the bean sprouts.
• 1 cup bean sprouts These were not easy to find at the store and hon­est­ly, they weren’t noticed in the dish at all in my opinion…

Instructions

Prep everything…

• Pre­pare all the veg­eta­bles and the chicken
• Pre­pare the sauce
• Cook the noo­dles 1 minute less than the instruc­tions sug­gest, then drain and toss with the sesame oil…set aside.

Now, get your large skillet…

• In a large skil­let, add the 2 T of oil and stir fry the chick­en just until done, remove from the pan and set aside.
• Add the pep­pers, gar­lic and gin­ger and saute for 1 – 2 minutes.
• Add the sauce mix­ture to the pan, stir­ring as it starts to thicken.
• Add the car­rots, onion and cab­bage and cook for 1 – 2 minutes.
• Add in the chick­en, bean sprouts and noo­dles and toss gen­tly to com­bine everything.

Notes

Ok, here are my thoughts:

You could use more cab­bage and less noo­dles for a more carb friend­ly meal.

Add red pep­per flakes for a spici­er version.

Add snow peas or any oth­er veg­eta­bles you like.

Increase the sauce quan­ti­ty if you like a sauci­er meal.

Sprin­kle with sesame seeds…I used black sesame seeds.

Por­tion and freeze for anoth­er time!
