Chicken Lo Mein

Bursting with savory umami, crisp-tender veggies, and a silky-sweet soy-oyster glaze

TIME: 45 min | SERVINGS: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp. oyster sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. honey
  • 1 tsp. hot sauce (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp. sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs, thinly sliced
  • 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 (8-oz.) container baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups shredded carrots
  • 1 1/2 cups snow peas
  • 1 small head bok choy, chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Sweet and Spicy Sesame Chicken

This dish dazzles with a sweet, savory, and mildly spicy glaze

TIME: 25 min | SERVINGS: 6

Ingredients

  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha®)
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds, divided
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Directions

Whisk cornstarch, salt, and black pepper together in a large bowl; add chicken and toss to coat.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken in batches, turning occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

Whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, chile-garlic sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds in a small bowl.

Pour sauce over chicken in the skillet; toss to coat chicken. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until sauce thickens and chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 2 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 2 minutes.

Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
