Equipment

  • oven
  • Wok
  • large skillet
  • Large pot
  • baking sheet

Ingredients
  

DAD ADD: Sriracha Roasted Veggies

  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, quartered
  • ½ piece red pepper, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons sriracha hot sauce

For the sauce

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons hot water

For the lo mein

  • 8 ounces lo mein noodles, fresh or dried
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound boneless chicken breast, sliced thin
  • ½ head green cabbage, shredded (about 3 cups)
  • 1 large carrot, grated

For the garnish

  • Fresh scallions, chopped
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions
 

Sriracha Roasted Vegetables

  • Heat the oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, toss quartered mushrooms and red peppers with the sesame oil and sriracha. Spread out on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes until tender and blistered in spots.

Make the sauce

  • In a small bowl, stir the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and hot water together. Set aside.

Cook the noodles

  • Bring a large amount of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook until tender, usually around 4 minutes, but check the package directions. Drain the noodles and toss with sesame oil to prevent sticking.

Cook the chicken

  • Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil when hot, then add chicken. Cook until just barely cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add the vegetables

  • When chicken is cooked, add cabbage and carrots, and stir and cook until veggies wilt and the liquid they release is mostly evaporated, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Add the noodles and sauce

  • Add noodles along with sauce and stir with the chicken and veggies to combine. Adjust flavor to your liking, adding more water if needed.

Serve

  • Serve the Chicken Lo Mein topped with scallions, sesame seeds, and optional roasted veggies.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3 to 4 days and will reheat beautifully in the microwave.
