Ingredients

Boneless chicken breast or thighs, sliced

Lo mein noodles or spaghetti

Garlic, minced

Soy sauce

Oyster sauce

Hoisin sauce

Sesame oil

Brown sugar

Vegetable oil

Bell peppers, sliced

Carrots, julienned

Snow peas or broccoli florets

Green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Noodles:
    Boil the lo mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  2. Prepare the Sauce:
    In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and minced garlic.

  3. Cook the Chicken:
    Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet. Add sliced chicken and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.

  4. Stir-Fry Vegetables:
    In the same pan, add the bell peppers, carrots, and snow peas or broccoli. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are just tender but still crisp.

  5. Combine Everything:
    Return the chicken to the pan. Add cooked noodles and pour the sauce over the mixture. Toss everything together until well-coated and heated through.

  6. Serve:
    Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add sriracha or chili garlic sauce to the stir-fry.

  • You can swap chicken for thinly sliced beef or peeled shrimp.

  • Additional vegetables like mushrooms or baby corn can be added for extra flavor and texture.

  • To prevent noodles from sticking, toss them with a little oil after draining.
