Description

Chicken Spaghetti Lo Mein is a delicious fusion dish combining tender chicken, spaghetti noodles, and stir-fried vegetables tossed in a savory, Asian-inspired lo mein sauce for a quick and satisfying meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 oz spaghetti noodles
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (for marinating)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for marinating)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, julienned
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 cups shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (for sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 cup reserved pasta water (optional)
  • Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/4 cup of pasta water.
  2. In a bowl, combine sliced chicken with 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Stir-fry chicken until browned and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. Add remaining oil to the skillet. Stir-fry bell pepper, carrots, and cabbage for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender.
  5. Add garlic and ginger, stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and pepper.
  7. Return chicken to the skillet, add cooked spaghetti, and pour sauce over everything. Toss well to combine, adding reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
  8. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until everything is heated through.
  9. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Substitute spaghetti with lo mein, ramen, or udon noodles if preferred.
  • Add mushrooms or snap peas for more vegetable variety.
  • For a spicier version, add chili garlic sauce or sriracha to the sauce mix.
