Ingredients

  • For the Garlic Chicken:

    • 2 chicken breasts, cubed
    • 1 tbsp garlic powder
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • 1 tbsp fish sauce
    • 1 tsp grated ginger

    For the Vegetables:

    • 10 garlic cloves, minced
    • 2 cups cabbage, shredded
    • 2 carrots, shredded
    • 4 green onions, sliced
    • 2 tsp grated ginger
    • 6 oz mushrooms, sliced
    • 2 cups broccoli florets
    • 2 celery stalks, sliced

    Everything Else:

    • 8 oz buckwheat lo mein noodles
    • ¼ cup soy sauce
    • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
    • 1 tsp fish sauce
    • 1 tsp black pepper
    • Cooking oil
    • Szechuan garlic butter (see recipe link below)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken: Season cubed chicken with garlic powder, salt, pepper, fish sauce, and grated ginger.
  • Cook the Noodles: Boil lo mein noodles per package instructions, slightly undercooking them.
  • Sauté the Chicken: In a pan, heat Szechuan garlic butter and cooking oil. Cook the chicken until golden brown (about 15 minutes). Add more butter and minced garlic in the last two minutes. Remove from pan.
  • Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pan, add more butter if needed and stir-fry cabbage, carrots, green onions, ginger, mushrooms, broccoli, and celery for about 8 minutes.
  • Combine Everything: Add the cooked chicken back to the pan. Toss in noodles, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, fish sauce, and black pepper. Mix well and cook until heated through.
  • Serve: Plate and enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • Protein Swap: Substitute chicken with beef, shrimp, tofu, or tempeh.
  • Noodle Alternatives: Regular lo mein, spaghetti, or udon noodles work well.
  • Vegetable Variations: Try bell peppers, snow peas, or baby bok choy.
  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Warm in a skillet over medium heat, adding soy sauce or water if needed.
