Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Cook lo mein noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Toss with 1 tsp sesame oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, chicken broth, and black pepper. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add sliced chicken and stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
  • Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to the wok. Add garlic and ginger, stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add carrot, bell pepper, and cabbage. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  • Return cooked chicken to the wok. Add cooked noodles and pour sauce over the top. Toss everything together over high heat for 2–3 minutes until heated through and well combined.
  • Stir in green onion whites and toss. Remove from heat and garnish with green onion greens and toasted sesame seeds if desired.
  • Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

For best results, use fresh lo mein noodles if available. If substituting spaghetti, cook just until al dente as it will continue cooking when stir-fried.
