Ingredients
- 8 ounces lo mein egg noodles
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- ½ tablespoon avocado oil
- 6 green onions
- 6 cloves garlic
- 2 bell peppers
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- ⅓ cup reduced-sodium tamari
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons sriracha
- 1 large egg white
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
Equipment Needed
- large deep skillet or wok
Instructions
- 1
Slice the chicken breast diagonally against the grain into pieces approximately ⅛-inch thick. Place the slices in a medium bowl and combine with egg whites, starch, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even coating. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
- 2
While the chicken marinates, combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and whisk until well blended. Prepare the remaining ingredients during this time.

Fill a medium pot with water and bring it to a vigorous boil. Gently add the chicken slices to the boiling water and stir. Blanch for around 10 seconds, then promptly drain the chicken.

In the meantime, fill a large pot with salted water and bring it to a boil. Cook the noodles until they are just under al dente, then drain them. It’s essential that the noodles are slightly undercooked.

Heat a wok or a large deep skillet over medium-high heat and pour in ½ tablespoon of avocado oil. Add the velveted chicken slices and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until they are fully cooked and golden brown around the edges. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

To the same skillet, add the remaining ½ tablespoon of sesame oil, along with ½ cup of green onions and minced garlic. Sauté over medium heat for about 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring frequently. Then, incorporate the bell peppers and broccoli, cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.

Add the cooked noodles, chicken, and sauce to the skillet, tossing everything together with the vegetables. Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with extra salt if necessary. Serve the lo mein in four bowls, garnishing with additional green onions.
