Enhanced Bok Choy and Chicken Lo Mein

Ingredients

• Lo mein noodles (8 ounces)
• Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
• Chicken breast (1 pound, sliced thinly)
• Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
• Ginger (1 tablespoon, minced)
• Bok choy (2 cups, chopped)
• Carrots (1 cup, julienned)
• Snow peas (1 cup, trimmed)
• Soy sauce (3 tablespoons)
• Oyster sauce (2 tablespoons)
• Sesame oil (1 tablespoon)
• Salt (to taste)
• Pepper (to taste)
• Green onions (2, sliced (for garnish))
• Sesame seeds (1 tablespoon (for garnish))

Instructions

1. Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, tossing with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
3. Add the sliced chicken breast to the skillet, cooking until browned and no longer pink in the center, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
5. Add the chopped bok choy, julienned carrots, and trimmed snow peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp and vibrant in color.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil to create a flavorful sauce.
7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet along with the cooked lo mein noodles.
8. Pour the sauce over the chicken and noodles. Toss everything together until well coated, ensuring the noodles and vegetables are evenly mixed with the sauce.
9. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as desired.
10. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
11. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious homemade lo mein!
