🥢 PRINTABLE RECIPE –
This is a perfect recipe for when you come home from work and you got hungry kids to feed. Everything can be ready within 20 minutes. Better and faster than take out. You can also take it to work as lunch because it reheats in the microwave really well. The flavor if impeccable, it is nutty, savory. The chicken is tender and soft. The noodles are very filling but well balanced with the veggies.
INGREDIENTS
1 lb of fresh egg noodles
12.3 oz (350 grams) of chicken breast
1/3 tsp of salt
1/3 tsp of baking soda
1/2 tbsp of Chinese cooking wine (Amazon Link –
Black pepper to taste
3 cloves of garlic, sliced thinly
1/2 inch of ginger, julienne
4 oz of carrot, julienne
1/2 of a red bell pepper, julienne
5 mushroom, sliced thinly
4 oz of snap peas
5 scallions
To Make The Sauce
1.5 tbsp of Soy sauce (Amazon Link –
1 tbsp of dark soy sauce (Amazon Link –
1 tbsp of oyster sauce (Amazon Link –
1 tbsp Hoisin sauce (Amazon Link –
1 tbsp of Chinese cooking wine (Amazon Link –
1/2 tbsp of pure Peanut butter (Amazon Link –
1/2 cup of water
INSTRUCTIONS
Slice the chicken breast thinly. Marinade with garlic, ginger, salt, Chinese cooking wine, black pepper, and baking soda. Baking soda will break down the meat fibers and tenderize the chicken. It will give you that melt in your mouth texture.
Julienne the carrot, bell pepper. Slice the mushroom. Cut the scallions. To save time, you can buy a bag of pre-cut, mixed vegetables from the supermarket.
In a sauce bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients thoroughly. The peanut butter makes the sauce creamier and thicker, helps the flavor to wrap around the ingredients. You have to break up the peanut butter a little bit first so it doesn’t clump up.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles until 80% done. Drain completely. Do not over cooked the noodles otherwise they will turn soggy when you finish them in the wok with that lomein sauce.
Meanwhile, turn the heat to high and heat your wok until smoking hot. Toss in the marinade chicken and stir for 2 minutes or until it just changes color. Add all the vegetables except for the scallions. continue to stir for 1 minute. Add the well-drained noodles along with the lomein sauce. Keep stirring over medium heat until all the sauce is absorbed. As soon as the sauce is gone, you have to turn off the heat. Otherwise the noodles will start sticking to the wok.
Add the scallions and serve.

Great recipe thank you Mandy where did you get the chopsticks?
"Hi Everyoneeee" is so musical.
What if I don’t have the cooking wine?
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you
Can you recommend a substitute for the peanut butter?
My son had like 6 servings. Had to ask him to leave me some 😂
I just don’t add baking soda, makes the chicken bitter.
4:15 a friend told me that the secret to making best lo mein is not to care too much, and we usually ruin it in the process of trying to make it too perfect 😁😁
Look good 👏🏽🇯🇲
I bought the wok, it arrived earlier in the week and plan on using to cook your recipes for about 5 dishes over the Christmas weekend!
I just discovered your channel, and I thoroughly enjoy watching you cook. I have learned how easy it is to make some of my favorite Asian dishes. Thank you so much.
Can you make Lo Mein into Chowmein by drying out the sauce more?
Your recipes look very appetizing, however, there’s no reference to how many people the above recipe will serve. Is it two or four or six people?
+instead of cutting vegetables thinly or buying them from the store,
you can also use a grater
I made it tonight. It drew raves. My only changes were to add a dash of Golden Mountain sauce to the chicken marinade, and a handful of bean sprouts in with the vegetables. Otherwise to the letter. Will make again.
I gotta say, I'm a fan.
I used precooked udon noodles, it came out surprisingly good.
Made the recipe last night. Very tasty recipe but I used some boxed premade noodles. I will visit my Asian market next time and get the real noodles. It was some fire! Thanks.
The best cooking video I have ever seen ❤❤! Thank you 🙏
can we skip the chinese cooking wine?
eww peanut butter tastes horrible…only amaericans would ead it. i remember whent i went to america i tried to get a brea that wasnt sweet, too me hors…why do americans only eas sweet…
🇳🇵😁🥰🥰💃🫶🤤🤤
Made this last night. Absolutely delicious! My new go to recipe. Thank you!
The cooking instructions on my noodles said cook for 15 minutes. I checked them after 8 minutes and they were already overcooked 🙁 on top of that, they were super starchy and sticky, gotta try a different brand next time or set them aside after like 4 minutes. Apart from that the taste was awesome and the chicken was tender and juicy, next time it’s gonna be perfect.
I’ve been craving a good bowl of noodles. This looks great, I’m going to try it.
Is there any substitute for chinese cooking wine?
Good tutorial… I'm going to try this one … Thank You…
I will try it
Thanks for sharing. Yummy
too much talking just go ahead and start your show.
Look so good
I made this with beef today and absolutely loved it
Made this tonight! I've never ordered it before, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but it was amazing! Followed her recipe to a t, and added a small yellow squash and 1/2 tsp sesame oil. So good!!!!!😋😋😋
