Hearty Noodle Dishes Spicy Sesame Chicken Lo Mein

To make Spicy Sesame Chicken Lo Mein, you start with great ingredients. Here’s what you need:

- 8 oz lo mein noodles

- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced thin

- 2 tablespoons sesame oil

- 3 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

- 1 bell pepper, sliced

- 1 cup snap peas

- 3 green onions, chopped

- 1/4 cup soy sauce

- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

- 1 tablespoon chili paste

- Salt and pepper to taste

First, cook the lo mein noodles. Follow the package instructions. Drain them and toss with a little sesame oil. This keeps them from sticking.

Next, heat the remaining sesame oil in a large skillet. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes. Stir often to brown the chicken. Season with salt and pepper.

Once the chicken is done, add the garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about one minute. This step adds a lovely aroma to your dish.

Now, add the sliced bell pepper, snap peas, and green onions. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes. You want the veggies to be tender but still crisp.

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, and chili paste. Pour this sauce over the chicken and veggies. Stir well to coat everything.

Finally, add the cooked lo mein noodles to the skillet. Toss everything together for another 2-3 minutes. This heats the noodles and blends the flavors.

Taste your dish. Adjust the seasoning if needed. You might want more soy sauce or chili paste for extra flavor.

To serve, use deep bowls. Garnish with extra green onions and sesame seeds. This adds a nice touch to your meal. Enjoy!
