Ingredients

For the Lo Mein:

  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced thinly against the grain
  • 1/2 head green cabbage, shredded
  • 2 cups matchstick carrots
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, stem and seeds removed, and sliced very thin
  • 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
  • 3.5 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stem removed and sliced
  • kosher salt, to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

For the Sauce:

  • 1/3 cup coconut aminos
  • 1 inch nob of ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes plus more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot starch
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

Instructions

  • Combine all of the sauce ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine. set aside.
  • In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tbsp. olive oil and 1 tbsp. sesame oil over medium-high heat.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and sear on both sides in the oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Using tongs, transfer the cooked chicken onto a plate and set aside.
  • Add the bell pepper, onion and broccoli to the skillet and saute for 4 minutes (if for some reason your skillet is looking dry after cooking your chicken, add 1 more tbsp. of olive oil).
  • Add in the cabbage, carrots, and mushrooms into the skillet. Season with a little salt and pepper and toss until veggie mixture is evenly combined, sauté cabbage until it slightly wilts, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour in chicken broth and whisk the sauce once more and add the sauce. Toss until cabbage are fully coated and let cook until sauce thickens, about 4 more minutes.
  • Add chicken back into the dish, the toasted sesame seeds, salt and pepper to taste, and more crushed red pepper if you want it spicier (like me!)
  • Enjoy!
