Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces fresh lo mein noodles
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 large bunch scallions, white and green parts separated and sliced
  • 3 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook lo mein noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Toss with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced chicken with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and cornstarch. Mix well and let marinate for 10 minutes.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the white parts of the scallions, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. If using, add the oyster sauce. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Add the cooked noodles and chicken back to the skillet. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
  7. Stir in the green parts of the scallions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra vegetables, add sliced bell peppers, carrots, or snap peas along with the ginger and garlic.
  • Adjust the amount of ginger and garlic to your preference.
  • A dash of chili oil can be added for a spicy kick.
  • This dish is best served fresh.
