Chicken Lo Mein

I love steamed veggies - love the crunch and flavor that they add to a meal. This is a tasty and easy recipe for Chinese-inspired noodles that aren't too greasy.


Chicken Lo Mein (serves 6-8)

• 1/2 pound angel hair pasta
• 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon ginger
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 1/2 cup sliced carrots
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 cup sugar snap pea pods, halved
• 1 to 1 1/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-size strips

Cook pasta according to directions, then drain and set aside. Mix hoisin sauce, chicken broth, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a bowl. Heat 1 TBSP vegetable oil in skillet, add ginger and onion, stir fry 2 minutes. Add carrots, broccoli, pea pods and stir fry 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate, then add other TBSP vegetable oil to skillet. Cook chicken, then add vegetables back to the pan. Add sauce and noodles, then cook 3-5 minutes on medium heat until heated through.
