Garlic Chicken Lo Mein

Ingredients:

• 8 oz lo mein noodles or spaghetti (if unavailable)

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

• 2 chicken breasts, thinly sliced

• 4 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 small onion, sliced

• 1 cup shredded carrots

• 1 cup snap peas or snow peas

• 3 green onions, chopped

• 1/4 cup soy sauce

• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional but recommended)

• 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

• 1 teaspoon sugar

• Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions:

1. Cook the noodles:
   Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. Toss with a little oil to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the sauce:
   In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, black pepper, and sugar. Set aside.

3. Cook the chicken:
   Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until no longer pink (about 5-6 minutes). Remove chicken and set aside.

4. Sauté vegetables and garlic:
   In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the minced garlic and sliced onions, cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

5. Add veggies:
   Toss in shredded carrots and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until veggies are tender-crisp.

6. Combine:
   Return the cooked chicken to the pan. Add the noodles and pour the sauce over everything. Toss well to combine and heat through.

7. Finish:
   Stir in chopped green onions and sprinkle red pepper flakes if you want some heat.

8. Serve hot!
