INGREDIENTS
 

  • 10 oz egg noodles
  • 1 lb chicken breast or thighs (boneless, skinless)
  • 1 large carrot
  • 1 bell pepper (any color)
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic (about 6 cloves)
  • 4 scallions
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil (plus more for cooking)
Lo Mein Sauce
  • 1 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1.5 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp pepper (white or black)
  • 1/4 cup water (or low sodium chicken broth)

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Thinly slice the chicken breasts or thighs and transfer it to a bowl. Coat the chicken with 1 tbsp light soy sauce, 1/2 tbsp cornstarch and 1 tbsp cooking oil. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
  • Thinly slice 1 large carrot and bell pepper (any color). Slice the white parts of 4 scallions/green onions lengthwise. Cut the green parts into 2-inch pieces.
  • Combine all the lo mein sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
  • Cook 10 oz egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water until cooled. Toss the noodles with some oil to prevent sticking.
  • Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a wok or large pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until fully cooked through. Transfer to a bowl.
  • In the same wok or pan, add the scallion whites and stir-fry for about 1 minute. Add 2 tbsp minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add the thinly sliced carrot and stir-fry until it turns a bright orange. Add the sliced bell pepper and stir-fry for about 2 minutes or until slightly tender.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the wok or pan and mix well. Pour in the lo mein sauce and cook until it slightly thickens.
  • Add the cooked noodles and toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.
  • Add the green tops or the scallions/green onions and mix well. Drizzle in 1/2 tsp of toasted sesame oil and give everything a final toss.
