Ingredients

 

  • 8 oz lo mein noodles
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 Tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper,
  • 2 green onions

 


Instructions

 

  1. Cook the Noodles
    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add lo mein noodles and cook until just al dente according to package instructions (usually 4–5 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Toss with a drizzle of oil so they don’t stick.
  2. Stir‑Fry the Chicken
    Heat 1 Tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium‑high heat. Add the thinly sliced chicken in a single layer, season lightly with salt and pepper, and stir‑fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  3. Sauté Garlic & Vegetables
    Add the remaining 1 Tbsp oil to the hot skillet. Toss in the minced garlic, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the mixed vegetables and stir‑fry for 3–4 minutes, until they’re tender‑crisp but still vibrant.
  4. Combine Sauce & Ingredients
    In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet along with the drained noodles. Pour the sauce over the top.
  5. Toss & Finish
    Using tongs or two spatulas, toss everything vigorously for 2–3 minutes so the noodles and chicken absorb the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt or pepper if needed.
  6. Garnish & Serve
    Transfer the lo mein to serving plates or a large platter. Sprinkle sliced green onions on top for freshness and a mild bite. Serve immediately.
