Ingredients

• 8 oz Lo mein noodles
• 1 lb Chicken breast
• 4 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp Dark soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Sesame oil
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Ginger, grated
• 1 large Carrot, julienned
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup Snow peas
• 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
• 2 tbsp Water
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cook the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

Step 2

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the chicken, toss to coat, and let marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of water to make the sauce. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes or until fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Stir-fry the garlic, ginger, carrot, and red bell pepper for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 6

Add the snow peas to the skillet and stir-fry for another minute.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet along with the cooked noodles. Pour the sauce over the mixture and toss until everything is evenly coated and heated through.

Step 8

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
