Serving: 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

For the Chicken

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, thinly sliced against the grain
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine
• 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
• 1 tsp cornstarch

For the Sauce

• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
• 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth

For the Stir-Fry

• 8 oz fresh lo mein noodles
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
• 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 4 oz snow peas, trimmed and halved crosswise
• 3 green onions, sliced on the diagonal
• 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Whisk together all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add chicken slices, toss to coat, and let rest 10 minutes while you prep veggies.
2. Combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl; stir until sugar dissolves. Set aside.
3. Cook noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain, rinse under cold water, and toss with 1 tsp vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
4. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add chicken in a single layer; sear without moving for 1 minute, then stir-fry until golden and just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
5. Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the wok. Add garlic and ginger; stir-fry 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Add carrot, bell pepper, and snow peas. Stir-fry 2 minutes until crisp-tender.
7. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to the wok. Pour in the prepared sauce and bring to a simmer.
8. Add noodles and green onions; toss vigorously for 1 minute until everything is evenly coated and heated through. The noodles should glisten and absorb the sauce.
9. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately. For extra char, let the noodles sit undisturbed for 30 seconds before the final toss.

Your fork will cut through the glossy noodles—every bite delivers tender chicken, snappy veggies, and that punchy garlic-ginger zing. Pile it high in a bowl with extra chili crisp on the side for a spicy kick.
