For the stir fry

- 1.5 pound boneless skinless chicken breast cut to bite-size pieces
- 1.5 tablespoon avocado oil
- 2 carrot sliced ¼ inch thick
- 1 red bell pepper sliced ¼ inch thick
- 1 onion sliced ¼ inch thick
- 4 ounce fresh shiitake mushroom sliced ¼ inch thick
- 1/2 cup snow peas sliced ¼ inch thick
- 2 stalk scallion chopped for garnish
- 3 teaspoon sesame seeds toasted for garnish
For the Low Mein sauce
- 0.75 cup chicken stock substitute with vegetable stock or water
- 3 Tablespoon oyster sauce
- 2 Tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 2.5 Tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- 1.5 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1.5 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1.5 teaspoon monk fruit sweetener
- 1.5 teaspoon ginger grated
- 4.5 clove garlic minced
Make it spicy (optional)
- 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce it's salty, use sparingly. Add more or less per hotness preference
Instructions
- Lo mein sauce: Add the ingredients for the lo mein sauce in a medium-sized bowl and stir together until the sugar dissolves.
- Marinate chicken: Marinate the chicken with one tablespoon of the prepared sauce while prepping the vegetables.
- Boil noodles: Boil the noodles until they are al dente, per packaging instructions.
- Stir fry chicken and vegetables: Heat a wok or pan over medium-high heat and add the oil. Cook the chicken until fully cooked and then remove it from the pan and set it aside. Add the vegetables and stir fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until tender but crisp.
- Add noodles and sauce: Add the noodles and sauce to the pan and toss to combine for 1 to 2 minutes. The sauce should become shiny, glossy, and thick. Add the chicken back in and combine together. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- Fresh noodles: You can tell if fresh noodles are cooked or raw by the presence of flour. Uncooked fresh noodles are dusted with flour while pre-cooked fresh noodles come vacuum packed, lightly coated with oil.
- Vegetables for stir fry: I used carrots, red bell pepper, onions, shiitake mushrooms, and snow peas. Use any you have on hand.
- Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to one month.
