Method

Preparation of Noodles

Cook the Chow Mein Noodles

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the Chow Mein noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.

Cooking the Protein

Cook the Chicken

In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken breast and season with salt and black pepper. Stir-fry until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Stir-Frying Vegetables

Sauté the Aromatics

In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the Vegetables

Add the julienned carrots, sliced bell pepper, shredded cabbage, and chopped green onions to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Combining Ingredients

Mix Everything Together

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the cooked chow mein noodles, soy sauce, and chili sauce (to taste). Toss everything together and stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.

Serving

Serve Hot

Remove from heat and serve the Chow Mein hot. Garnish with additional green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
