For Chicken
- 1 pound chicken breasts skinless and boneless, cut into small pieces
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger minced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For Veggies
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups shiitake mushrooms sliced
- 1 cup Chinese cabbage shredded
- 1 cup carrots julienned
- 1 large onion chopped
Other
- 16 ounce lo mein noodles or any other Asian style noodles
- 3 green onions chopped
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 2 tablespoons of 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. Don't overcrowd the chicken, you might need to do this in 2 batches.
Add the other 2 tablespoons 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.
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce for 15-30 minutes before cooking.
- Vegetarian? Swap chicken for firm tofu and use a vegetarian oyster sauce.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of water or broth to refresh the noodles.
- If you love extra sauce, consider doubling the sauce ingredients and drizzling more on the finished dish.
