Instructions
Sriracha Roasted Vegetables:
-
Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
-
In a small bowl, toss the quartered mushrooms and red peppers with the sesame oil and sriracha.
-
Spread out on a baking sheet.
-
While making the Chicken Lo Mein, bake for 15 minutes until tender and blistered in spots.
-
Stir the sauce ingredients together and set near the stove.
Lo Mein Noodles:
-
Bring a large amount of salted water to a boil.
-
Add the noodles and cook for around 4 minutes until tender, but check the package directions for the noodles using.
-
Drain the noodles and toss with the sesame oil to prevent sticking.
-
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Once hot, add the vegetable oil once that’s hot, add the chicken.
-
Cook for 5 to 6 minutes until the chicken is just barely cooked through, stirring frequently. (The chicken will continue to cook with the vegetables, so it’s ok if it seems a little undercooked right now.)
-
When the chicken is cooked, add the cabbage and carrots, and continue to stir and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the veggies wilt and the liquid they release is mostly evaporated.
-
Add the noodles along with sauce and stir with the chicken and veggies to combine.
-
The sauce should coat the noodles and other ingredients. If the dish seems too dry, add more water.
-
Taste and adjust the flavor to preference. Add another dash of soy sauce, if needed.
-
Serve the Chicken Lo Mein topped with scallions, sesame seeds, and roasted veggies, if desired.
