Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the soy sauce, chicken broth, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and sugar. Set aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Have this ready for when it's time to cook the noodles.

- Return the same work or skillet to medium-high heat, add the onion and red bell pepper, and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring often.
- Mix in the carrots, snow peas, garlic, ginger, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are crisp yet tender.
- Cook the noodles until al dente according to package instructions. Drain.
- Return the chicken to the wok and add the sauce. Mix well to coat and cook for 2-3 minutes or until heated through.
- Add the noodles to the pan and toss gently until well coated in the sauce.
- Garnish with chopped green onions/scallions or sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
Transfer leftovers to an airtight container and keep them stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Recipe Tips:
- Thinly slice the veggies and chop the chicken into small, bite-size pieces. Lo mein is meant to cook quickly. Having everything chopped small helps speed up the process.
- Make sure everything is prepared before you start cooking.
- Cook the meat (chicken, beef, shrimp) before stir-frying the vegetables, then remove them.
