Ingredients

  • 2 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approx. 500 g)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 30 ml peanut oil, plus extra as needed
  • 60 ml dry white wine
  • 300 g mixed stir-fry vegetables (e.g., broccoli, carrots, snap peas, bell pepper)
  • 280 g lo mein noodles
  • 240 ml chicken broth
  • 180 ml beef broth
  • 60 ml soy sauce
  • 13 g brown sugar or honey
  • 16 g cornstarch
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 5 ml hot sauce
  • 1.25 ml toasted sesame oil
  • 1.25 ml ground ginger
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together chicken broth, beef broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, garlic, hot sauce, sesame oil, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes in a large measuring jug. Reserve 60 ml in a separate bowl for marinating.
  2. Cut chicken into bite-sized cubes, season with salt and pepper, and marinate in the reserved sauce while prepping other ingredients.
  3. Heat 30 ml peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 3 minutes without stirring, then flip and cook another 2–3 minutes until fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  4. Lower heat to medium and deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping up browned bits. Simmer for 2 minutes until reduced by half.
  5. Cook lo mein noodles in salted boiling water for 1 minute less than package instructions, then drain.
  6. Add a splash more oil to the skillet if needed. Stir-fry vegetables for 3 minutes until crisp-tender.
  7. Pour in the remaining sauce and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened.
  8. Add cooked noodles in batches, tossing to coat evenly in the sauce.
  9. Return chicken and juices to the skillet and toss everything together until hot and glossy.
  10. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with spring onions, sesame seeds, or chili flakes.

Notes

  • Substitute chicken with shrimp, tofu, or thinly sliced beef.
  • Use spaghetti or rice noodles if lo mein isn’t available.
  • Omit wine and use more broth if preferred.
  • Vegetable broth can replace chicken and beef broth for a lighter or vegetarian version.
  • Add extra vegetables like mushrooms, bok choy, or bean sprouts as desired.
