A warm, comforting bowl of noodles tossed with tender chicken and colorful vegetables, coated in a savory sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights or a cozy family dinner, this recipe brings restaurant-style flavor to your home kitchen in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 8 ounces lo mein noodles or spaghetti

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

  • 1 cup shredded carrots

  • 1 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)

  • 1 cup snap peas or green beans

  • 3 green onions, chopped

  • 2 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix

  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce

  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

  • 1 teaspoon sugar

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook noodles according to package instructions until tender. Drain and toss lightly with a small amount of oil.

  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken slices and cook 4–5 minutes until fully cooked and lightly golden. Remove chicken and set aside.

  • In the same skillet, sauté garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  • Add carrots, bell peppers, snap peas, and cabbage. Stir-fry 3–4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.

  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, chicken broth, sugar, and black pepper.

  • Return chicken to the skillet with vegetables. Add noodles and pour sauce over everything. Toss gently to coat and cook 2–3 minutes until heated through and sauce thickens.

  • Sprinkle chopped green onions over the top and toss one final time before serving.

Notes

  • Slice chicken thinly for quick, even cooking.

  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to control saltiness.

  • Noodles can be prepared a few hours ahead; toss with a little oil to prevent sticking.

  • Add extra vegetables like mushrooms or baby corn for variety.
