Chicken Lo Mein

A few days ago I went to an Asian market here and once I got in, I was like a kid in a toy store. So many different types of foods, such colorful packaging, so many beautiful cakes, and my favorite, hundreds of types of noodles. I bought so many noodles, and I’ve been dying to start using them. Nothing like fresh noodles. Needless to say I bought a bunch of stuff, but there were so many things I had no idea what they were, and to top it off I forgot my glasses and couldn’t read any labels. Luckily, I did not forget my husband and he did pretty well in reading all the labels for me.

Instructions

Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl whisk all the sauce ingredients together, then set aside.
In another medium sized bowl toss together the chicken with the soy sauce, ginger and garlic.
Heat the olive oil well in a large wok. Your wok should be nice and hot before adding the chicken to it. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 5 minutes or until the chicken starts to brown and is no longer pink inside. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
Add the other 2 tbsp of olive oil to the wok then add the shiitake mushrooms, cabbage, carrots and onion to the wok. Cook for a minute while tossing around.
Add the chicken back to the wok. Add the cooked noodles, prepared sauce and toss everything together. Turn off the heat.
Garnish with green onions and serve.
Recipe Notes
Cook time includes time to cook noodles.

You can also use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast.

If you don't have hoisin sauce, you could replace that with a bit of barbecue sauce for that bit of sweetness.

Oyster sauce could also be replaced with a soy sauce or fish sauce.
