This Homemade Chicken Lo Mein stands out due to its balance of flavors and textures. The key ingredient, the lo mein noodles, are soft yet chewy, creating a satisfying base. The stir-fried chicken, combined with fresh vegetables, adds a delightful crunch, while the chicken lo mein sauce ties everything together with its umami-rich profile.
Ingredients
Scale:
8 ounces lo mein noodles
1 pound chicken breast, sliced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup bell peppers, sliced
1 medium carrot, julienned
1 cup snow peas
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
For garnish: green onions, sliced
Instructions
Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large pan or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and stir-fry until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add minced garlic and stir-fry for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Incorporate the sliced bell peppers, julienned carrot, and snow peas. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Stir well to coat the chicken and vegetables evenly.
Add the cooked lo mein noodles to the pan. Toss everything together until the noodles are heated through and coated in sauce, about 2-3 minutes.
Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions.
