Restaurant Style Chicken Lo Mein Recipes

CHICKEN LO MEIN (RESTAURANT STYLE WITHOUT A WOK)

Steps:

• Boil noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Rinse with tap water, drain, and set aside. I always cook the noodles 1 minute less than the package recommends. They'll be a bit underdone, but will be perfectly cooked once stir fried in the sauce.
• Combine all the "Marinade" ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Mix well and let marinate for 10 minutes.
• Whisk all the sauce ingredients together in a bowl. Chop aromatics and vegetables.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Spread the chicken in the pan. Cook for 30 to 45 seconds without touching, until the bottom turns slightly golden. Flip to cook the other side for 30 to 45 seconds, stirring occasionally, until the chicken turns white but the inside is slightly pink. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
• Add 1/2 tablespoon of oil. Add onion, carrot, bamboo, peppers, and bamboo shoots. Cook and stir until the veggies just start to turn soft, 1 minute or so. Transfer all the veggies to a plate.
• Add the remaining 1 and 1/2 tablespoons oil and the ginger, garlic and green onion. Stir a few times to release the fragrance.
• Add the noodles. Toss a few times with a pair of tongs. Add the cooked chicken and vegetables back into the pan. Pour the sauce over the ingredients. Toss to mix everything together well. The noodles are done when the sauce is absorbed, 1 minute or so.
• Transfer everything to serving plates and serve hot as main.

Steps:

• In a medium, non-reactive bowl, combine the chicken with 2 1/2 teaspoons of white sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons vinegar and 1/4 cup soy sauce. Mix this together and coat the chicken well. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
• In another medium bowl, combine the chicken broth, water, sesame oil and ground black pepper with the remaining sugar, vinegar and soy sauce. In a separate small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch with some of this mixture and slowly add to the bulk of the mixture, stirring well. Set aside.
• Cook the linguine according to package directions, drain and set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a wok or large saucepan over high heat until it starts to smoke. Add the chicken and stir-fry for 4 to 5 minutes, or until browned. Transfer this and all juices to a warm plate.
• Heat the remaining vegetable oil in the wok or pan over high heat. Add the ginger, garlic, mushrooms and green onions, and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the reserved sauce mixture and then the chicken. Simmer until the sauce begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. Add the reserved noodles and toss gently, coating everything well with the sauce.

• Add the noodles and chicken back to the wok and mix well from the bottom up for about 30 seconds. If the noodles aren't coming apart, add about 1/4 cup water to the noodles to loosen them up a bit.
• Then cover the wok for one minute. Remove the cover and add the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and sugar. Stir-fry for 30 seconds, and add the bean sprouts and scallions. Stir-fry for one more minute and serve.

• Stir in the noodles and bok choy and cook, stirring and tossing, until the bok choy starts to soften and turn bright green, about 1 minute.
