Ingredients
  

Noodles and Sauce
  • 8 ounces lo mein noodles (or spaghetti if in a pinch)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional for depth of flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (like bell peppers, carrots, and snap peas) Feel free to swap in your favorite vegetables or consider using zucchini and yellow squash.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Green onions, for garnish

Method
 

Cooking the Noodles
  1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Preparing the Sauce
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.
Sautéing Chicken
  1. In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, add a splash of oil. Once hot, add the chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Cooking Vegetables
  1. Stir in the mixed vegetables, garlic, and ginger, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the veggies are tender yet still vibrant.
Combining Ingredients
  1. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, pouring the sauce over the top. Toss everything together until well coated and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Serving
  1. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot.

Notes

Feel free to get creative! Substitute whole wheat noodles or use tofu for a vegetarian version. Experiment with different sauces, like sweet and sour or curry for a fusion flavor.
