Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Lo Mein
  • spaghetti noodles or substitute linguine, egg noodles, or ramen
  • 1 lb chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil for sautéing
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups tri-color coleslaw mix
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp regular soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Large Pan or Skillet
  • Small bowl

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Boil spaghetti noodles according to package instructions. Drain and toss lightly with a bit of oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat cooking oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chicken thigh pieces and cook 6–8 minutes, until fully cooked and lightly browned.
  3. Step 3: Add minced garlic and tri-color coleslaw mix to the pan. Stir and cook a few minutes until veggies soften but remain slightly crunchy.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together dark soy sauce, regular soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and chicken broth.
  5. Step 5: Add cooked noodles and sauce mixture to the pan. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat noodles and chicken evenly.
  6. Step 6: Let everything simmer together for a few minutes to allow flavors to meld and noodles to soak up the sauce.
  7. Step 7: Serve hot immediately, enjoying the perfect balance of tender chicken, fresh veggies, and savory saucy noodles.

Notes

Swap spaghetti for linguine, egg noodles, or ramen if desired. Add bell peppers, snap peas, or shredded carrots for extra color and crunch. For heat, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes or sriracha. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds or chopped green onions. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat gently with a splash of broth or water to keep noodles moist.
