Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 oz lo mein noodles Soak in hot water before cooking.
  • 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, carrots, broccoli)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
Sauces and Seasoning
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil For sautéing, plus an additional tablespoon.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions for garnish Optional, for serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by boiling water in a large pot. Add the lo mein noodles and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken breast. Season it with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of sesame oil. Toss in the minced garlic, followed by your mixed vegetables. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften but maintain their vibrant color and crunch.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, and add the drained lo mein noodles. Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce. Stir well to ensure everything is coated evenly and the flavors meld together, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Garnish with chopped green onions for a burst of flavor and color. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious meal!
