Ingredients
– 8 ounces lo mein noodles
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
– 2 tablespoons sesame oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
– 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons brown sugar
– 1 cup thinly sliced carrots
– 1 cup thinly sliced bell peppers
– 4 green onions, sliced into 1-inch pieces
– 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
1. – Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. – In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
3. – Add the garlic and ginger to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
4. – In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and brown sugar. Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir to coat the chicken.
5. – Add the cooked lo mein noodles, carrots, bell peppers, and green onions to the skillet. Toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated and the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
6. – Remove from heat and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
Notes
– For extra flavor, you can add a splash of rice vinegar or sriracha to the sauce.
– Substitute any vegetables you have on hand, such as broccoli, snow peas, or bean sprouts.
– Leftover lo mein can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
