  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

Lo Mein

  • ½ head green cabbage, shredded about 3 cups

Instructions
 

Roasting Vegetables

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

Making Sauce

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

Cooking Noodles

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

Cooking Chicken

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

Adding Vegetables

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

Combine Noodles and Sauce

  • Add noodles along with sauce and stir with chicken and veggies to combine. If dish seems too dry, add more water.

Serving

  • Serve Chicken Lo Mein topped with scallions, sesame seeds, and optional roasted veggies. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
