This chicken chow mein is a delicious alternative to your typical Chinese take-out. If you are able to find fresh Chinese thick-cut wheat noodles, I encourage you to use them, however I have been using dry spaghetti pasta for years to create this tasty dish and it comes out just great!

Instructions

  • Place the chicken slices in a medium bowl. Add the marinade ingredients and mix thoroughly. Let chicken marinate at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the noodles. Cook until al-dente, drain and rinse with cool water. Toss with sesame oil. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, soften Shiitake mushrooms in a bowl of warm water, and prep all your vegetables for the chow mein.
  • Heat a large sauté pan(s) or wok over medium-high heat. Add half of the oil. Carefully place chicken pieces in pan, spreading them out in a single layer if possible. Cook without stirring for a minute, to give them a chance to form a "crust", then stir-fry until chicken is done, about an additional 3 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • To the same pan add the remaining oil. Add the ginger and garlic, cooking for a minute or less, just until garlic is golden.
  • Add all the vegetables to the wok and stir-fry for a minute or two. Add the cooked reserved chicken, mixing well to combine. Stir-fry for several minutes more, then add the cooked noodles. Add soy sauce to taste and continue to stir-fry until noodles are hot, about an additional 5 minutes.
