TOTAL TIME : 20 minutes

INGREDIENTS :

CHICKEN

1 Tbls canola oil
1 pound chicken breasts, , cut into thin strips
3 cloves garlic, , minced
2 Tbls ginger, , grated
2 Tbls soy sauce

VEGGIES

1 (8 oz) mushrooms, thinly sliced (baby bellas or shittake)
1 small onion, , finely choped
1 1/2 cup napa cabbage, , finely shredded
1 cup matchstick carrots

SAUCE

1/4 cup chicken stock
1 tsp cornstarch
1 Tbls sesame oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tsp brown sugar
12 oz pasta, , cooked according to package directions.

Instructions:

Begin by heating canola oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the thinly sliced chicken, minced garlic, grated ginger, and soy sauce. Sauté for approximately 4-5 minutes until the chicken takes on a beautiful golden-brown hue. Once done, remove the chicken from the pan, leaving any residual juices or oil behind.
Next, introduce the sliced mushrooms and finely chopped onions to the same pan. Allow them to cook for about 3-4 minutes until the onions turn soft and the mushrooms develop a lovely golden-brown color. Now, add the finely shredded napa cabbage and matchstick carrots, and let them mingle in the pan for another 3 minutes.
While your vibrant medley of vegetables cooks, whisk together the ingredients for the sauce. Combine chicken stock, cornstarch, sesame oil, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a bowl. Once the sauce is well mixed, pour it over the vegetable mixture in the pan, and bring it to a brisk boil for just 1 minute.
Reintroduce the sautéed chicken strips to the pan. Stir everything together until the savory sauce envelops each ingredient, and you notice it beginning to thicken, creating a mouthwatering blend of flavors.
To complete this culinary masterpiece, gently toss the cooked pasta into the pan, ensuring it’s thoroughly coated with the delicious sauce and infused with the essence of all the ingredients.
For that perfect finishing touch, garnish your “Homemade Chicken Lo Mein” with a generous sprinkling of sliced green onions.
