Chicken Chow Mein

May 10, 2024 in Recipe

I love a good Chow Mein. And I can have any protein in it like shrimp, pork or beef. But I decided to have chicken for this one.

Honestly, I usually just buy Chow Mein from our favorite Chinese restaurant nearby. But after coming across a video on TikTok, I decided to make one myself. With some tweaking, here’s the result. Yum!

Chicken Chow Mein

Does anyone else have a craving for ramen noodles sometimes? I do, so instead of using yakisoba noodles for this, I used ramen noodles. And it wasn’t bad at all.

Chicken Chow Mein

Instead of buying a whole head of cabbage, I bought a bag of cole slaw so I didn’t have to chop. I have always preferred the tri-color coleslaw. But you can use whatever you prefer.

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 bag (16 oz) cole slaw
  • 10 pieces baby carrots, sliced
  • 2 green onions, sliced (separate white and green)
  • 2 packs of Ramen noodles, seasonings discarded
  • Salt and pepper

Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ginger, minced

Instructions:

  1. Prepare noodles according to package instructions. Set aside.
  2. Mix the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
  3. On medium-high heat, heat oil in pan.
  4. Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper and stir until cooked.
  6. Add cabbage, carrots and the whites of the onion and stir until cabbage is wilted.
  7. Add the noodles and sauce.
  8. Cook for 2 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
  9. Sprinkle with the greens of the onion.
  10. Serve and enjoy!

    I honestly haven’t had chow mein for the longest time, I already forgot how it should taste. lol. Yours looks so good, but being on a lowcarb way of eating, I’d definitely look for an alternative, thanks for the recipe!

    The vibrant colors of the stir-fried chicken and vegetables in this chow mein recipe are making my mouth water. The combination of savory soy sauce and tender noodles looks absolutely delicious.

    This sounds super easy to make. I’ll have to give it a try. I usually have ramen noodles on hand. But I’ll have to go buy some chicken and coleslaw.
