How to make Chicken Lo Mein

Ingredients

• 500 g chicken breast fillet cut into strips
• 200 g mushroom sliced
• 125 g baby corn
• 2 bunch of bok choy ends cut
• 1 onion chopped
• 4 cloves garlic minced
• 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
• 1/2 cups chicken stock
• 500 g fresh egg noodles (check packet instructions)
• 1/2 cup chicken stock
• 2 Tbsp soy sauce
• 2 Tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 Tbsp sesame oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• ¼ cup shallots chopped
• 2 chopped chilies - optional

Instructions

• In a small bowl, marinate the thinly sliced chicken breasts with soy sauce and let them sit for about 10 minutes.
• Heat one tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until it's cooked through and slightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
• In the same wok, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil and sauté the onion until translucent, add minced garlic and grated ginger until fragrant.
• Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry them until they're crisp yet tender. This should take about 3-4 minutes, depending on the thickness of the vegetables.
• Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add the oyster sauce and sesame oil. Toss everything together to coat the chicken and vegetables evenly.
• Finally, add the cooked lo mein noodles to the skillet and toss them with the chicken and vegetables until everything is well combined and heated through.
• Serve your homemade chicken lo mein in bowls or on plates, garnishing with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an extra touch of visual appeal and flavor.
