Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts
1 small white onion, diced
2 large carrots, diced
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 large green bell pepper, diced
12 ounces chinese wheat flour noodles
2 eggs (optional)
salt and pepper
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 tablespoon sesame oil (optional)
4 tablespoons oyster sauce
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (12 ounce) bottle sesame and ginger marinade

Steps:

  • Chop all veggies and set aside seperately. Boil water in a large pot. Add carrots and celery first and cook for 7 minutes, drain set aside in large bowl. Add noodles to water and cook for time directed stirring occasionally. When noodles are cooked drain and rinse with cold water and set aside in the veggie bowl. Rinse the pot as we will be using it again.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large frying pan over med-high heat. Cut chicken in 2 inch cubes and lightly season with salt and pepper. When pan is hot (not too hot and shouldn't be smoking) add chicken and cook 4-5 minutes for chicken to brown a little on the bottom and turn all pieces then add onion. Reduce heat to medium and cover set timer for 7 minutes.
  • Now heat 3 tbsp oil in bottom of pot at medium heat. When oil is hot add eggs. Let whites cook most of the way through (about 60-90 seconds). Then take a spatula and break yolks and begin chopping and stirring until they are in very small pieces. Add green pepper, stir, remove from heat, add sesame oil.
  • About now the chicken should be close to done. Check a larger piece for doneness. If done remove from heat, if not stir and move on to next step.
  • Add noodles/veggies to oil/egg, then add soy/oyster/teriaki sauce, and stir very well. The pasta should have a very light oil coating (light is key). When pasta is hot again add chicken to the top. Slowly add sesame ginger marinade to taste. Stir well and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your lo mein will taste. Try to use fresh vegetables, meat, and noodles.
  • Cook the noodles al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to the texture of pasta that is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This is the ideal texture for lo mein noodles.
  • Use a wok or large skillet: A wok or large skillet is essential for stir-frying. It allows you to cook the food quickly and evenly.
  • Use high heat: Stir-frying is a high-heat cooking method, so make sure your wok or skillet is hot before you add the food.
  • Stir-fry the food in small batches: This will help to prevent the food from steaming and becoming soggy.
  • Add the sauce at the end: The sauce is the final touch that brings all the flavors of the lo mein together. Add it to the wok or skillet and stir-fry for a minute or two, until the sauce is heated through.

Conclusion:

Sesame chicken lo mein is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give sesame chicken lo mein a try. You won't be disappointed!
