Ingredients

2 - boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 pound spaghetti or thin spaghetti noodles
- vegetables of your choice (we use 3 cups frozen stir fry vegetables)
SAUCE
1 cup chicken broth
6 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
6 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar, lightly packed
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (or a sprinkle of hot pepper flakes)
2 teaspoons pure sesame oil
2 teaspoons ginger paste

How To Make stir mein (stir fry/lo mein)

Step 1

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat and add the chicken. Cook all the way through.

Step 2

In a separate pot, boil water. Cook the noodles to al dente (just a minute short of the directions). Drain and set aside.
Step 3

To make the sauce, add all the ingredients except the corn starch and water to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil.
Step 4

Once it is boiling, mix the corn starch and water together in a small dish. Add the mixture to the sauce, stirring until it has thickened. Reduce to low and cover.
Step 5

In the wok/frying pan, add your veggies and half the sauce to the chicken and cook the veggies through. Once they are no longer raw, add the pasta and the rest of the sauce. Toss it all together. Once it's all warm and has had a few minutes to get all the flavors happy together, dish up and serve!
