My boyfriend has wanted lo mein for days now... Well we aren't allowed to have it since it is TERRIBLE for you.
I found a way to make my own... and hopefully a little healthier too!
Ingredients:
8 oz cooked whole grain thin spaghetti
1.5 lb chicken tenderloins, cut into cubes
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
4 tbsp corn starch
4 baby carrots, julienned
1/2 frozen bag peas
6 scallions, chopped
Pepper, to taste
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tsp ground ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp sesame seeds
Directions:
In a sauce pan, dissolve the bouillon cubes in 2 cups of water.
Place 1/2 cup of the broth into the saucepan and bring to a boil. Insert the chicken cubes and cook through.
In a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce, white wine, and corn starch until there are no lumps. Add the remaining broth to the bowl.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and place it on a plate to rest.
Add the oil, ground ginger, and garlic to the sauce pan and cook on medium to high heat for approx 1 minute.
Add the soy sauce mixture to the skillet and whisk until it begins to thicken.
Add the carrots, peas, and scallions and cook for 3-5 minutes (until they are the desired tenderness).
Add the pasta and chicken to the skillet and toss until everything is evenly coated. Let simmer for approx 5 minutes while the remaining liquid in the skillet is absorbed.
Enjoy!
