Description
If you’re in the mood for an exciting, satisfying meal, Chicken Chow Mein with the Best Chow Mein Sauce is the perfect solution!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 8 oz chow mein noodles (or yakisoba noodles)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup julienned carrots
- 1/2 cup sliced bell pepper (any color)
- 1/2 cup bean sprouts
- 3 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Start by boiling the chow mein noodles according to the package instructions. Typically, this will take around 5 to 6 minutes. Once cooked, drain the noodles in a colander and set them aside, ensuring they don’t stick together.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients until they are fully combined and smooth. This typically includes the low sodium soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, water, sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. It should take about 3 minutes — set this flavorful potion aside for later use.
- In your large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced chicken to the skillet and cook until it’s nicely browned and cooked through, which should take around 6 to 7 minutes. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Toss in the shredded cabbage, julienned carrots, and sliced bell pepper. Stir-fry these veggies for about 4 to 5 minutes until they are just tender but still maintain a delightful crunch.
- After the vegetables are done, return the cooked chicken back to the skillet. Add in the drained chow mein noodles and the bean sprouts. Pour the prepared sauce over the entire mixture and toss everything together until well combined and heated through, approx 3 to 4 minutes. You want to make sure every piece is coated nicely with the sauce.
- Once everything is evenly combined and fragrant, garnish your Chicken Chow Mein with freshly sliced green onions for that final burst of flavor. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious homemade meal!
