  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil

Lo Mein

  • 8 ounces lo mein noodles fresh or dried
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound boneless chicken breast sliced thin
  • ½ head green cabbage shredded (about 3 cups)
  • 1 large carrot grated

Instructions
 

Sriracha Roasted Veggies

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss quartered mushrooms and red peppers with sesame oil and sriracha in a small bowl. Spread them out on a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15 minutes until tender and blistered in spots while preparing the Chicken Lo Mein.

Sauce

  • In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and hot water. Set aside.

Cook the Noodles

  • Bring a large amount of salted water to a boil. Add the lo mein noodles and cook until tender, usually around 4 minutes. Drain and toss with sesame oil.

Cook the Chicken

  • Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and once hot, add the chicken. Cook until barely cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes.

Add the Vegetables

  • Add shredded cabbage and grated carrots to the chicken, stir and cook until vegetables wilt and liquid is mostly evaporated, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Combine Noodles and Sauce

  • Add the cooked noodles and prepared sauce to the wok, stirring to combine. Adjust flavor to liking.

Serve

  • Serve topped with scallions, sesame seeds, and optional roasted veggies.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3 to 4 days and will reheat beautifully in the microwave.
