Ingredients
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, crushed
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil, divided
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs), sliced
- 10 ounces Lo Mein Noodles, or Spaghetti Noodles, if Lo Mein can’t be found
- ½ cup red bell pepper, sliced
- ½ cup onion, sliced
- 1 cup sugar snap peas
- 1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, honey, chili garlic sauce, crushed garlic, ginger and 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
- Place the sliced chicken in a large bowl, pour half of the sauce over the chicken and toss to coat.
- Bring a large pot of water to boil on the stove. Add the chow mein noodles to the pot of water and cook according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Heat a large skillet or wok on the stove over high heat. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon sesame oil to the skillet.
- Once hot, add the bell pepper, onion, snap peas and mushrooms, cook for 2-3 minutes, then add the chicken and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes.
- Add the cooked noodles and the remaining sauce to the skillet. Toss and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Notes
- It’s easy to make a double batch of the lo mein sauce and keep it in the refrigerator. That way, you can make your next chicken lo mein dinner in just 20 minutes! The sauce will keep in the fridge for 2 weeks.
- Store leftover chicken lo mein in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. You can reheat more than one portion in a wok on the stove over medium heat for 4-6 minutes, or a single portion in the microwave in a bowl for 2 minutes.
