Ingredients

Scale

1 lb boneless chicken breasts or thighs, sliced thin
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp neutral oil
8 oz lo mein noodles or spaghetti
2 tbsp oil (divided)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp grated ginger
2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, snow peas)

Sauce:
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp dark soy sauce (optional)
1½ tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar
½ cup chicken broth or water
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp sesame oil (for finishing)

Instructions

  1. Cook noodles until just tender. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
  2. Toss chicken with soy sauce, cornstarch, and oil. Let sit while prepping.
  3. Mix all sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
  4. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet or wok. Stir-fry chicken 4–5 minutes. Remove.
  5. Add remaining oil. Stir-fry garlic, ginger, and vegetables 2–3 minutes.
  6. Return chicken, add noodles and sauce. Stir-fry 2–3 minutes until coated.
  7. Drizzle with sesame oil, toss, and serve hot.

Notes

Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for a shortcut. Add chili flakes or hot sauce for heat. Garnish with scallions or sesame seeds if desired.
