Equipment

  • wok
  • baking sheet
  • large skillet
  • large pot

Ingredients
  

Sriracha Roasted Veggies

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

Sauce

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

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

Garnish

  • Fresh scallions, chopped
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions
 

Sriracha Roasted Veggies

  • 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. Drain the noodles and toss with sesame oil to prevent sticking.

Cook the Chicken

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

Add the Vegetables

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

Add the Noodles and Sauce

  • Add noodles along with sauce and stir with the chicken and veggies to combine. If the dish seems too dry, add more water. Taste and adjust the flavor to your liking.

Serve

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

Notes

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