Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into strips
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- ¾ teaspoon white sugar
- ½ pound chow mein noodles
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 heads bok choy, chopped
- ½ zucchini, diced
- 10 sugar snap peas
- 1 carrot, cut into thin strips

Instructions
- Whisk soy sauce, corn starch, and sesame oil together in a large bowl until smooth; add chicken strips and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
- Combine chicken broth, oyster sauce, and sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook over medium heat until cooked through but still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet. Cook and garlic in hot oil for 30 seconds; add marinated chicken. Cook and stir until browned and no longer pink in the center, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove chicken mixture to a plate. Cook and stir bok choy, zucchini, snap peas, and carrot in the hot skillet until softened, about 2 minutes. Return noodles and chicken mixture to the skillet. Pour broth mixture into noodle mixture; cook and stir until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Serve garnished with green onions.

This was amazing! I’m a pretty bad cook, and was scared to try making the takeout I love, but this was really, really easy and good.
Very good recipe! We more than doubled the veggies and meat (probably put 3Xs the amount of veggies in, used a little bit of pork as well from some leftover pork chops). Because I had them, I added in 2 Anaheim peppers, a jalapeno, mushrooms, and spinach. I substituted a little bit of agave nectar instead of using sugar. We didn’t have chow mein, so we served it with rice instead. We made enough for 2 meals for a family of 4. So delicious! Would definitely make this one again!
TASTY, HEALTHY, and AUTHENTIC Chinese cooking. The suggestion I have is that the noodles are NOT CHOW MEIN but ARE LO MEIN noodles. I believe that the discrepancy is in the translation from Chinese to English. As I discovered this mid prep, I used thin egg noodles and sprinkled the crunchy chow mein noodles on the top. Enjoyed by all. Lots of leftovers for another meal. USED ONLY 1 BOK CHOY and used the entire head vs using the heart of 2 bok choy. Worked out very well. Enjoy! Will make this again!!
I used this recipe as a guide. I used onion, zucchini, mung bean sprouts yellow, orange, and jalapeno peppers, and cauliflower because that is what I had. Someone complained this was tasteless. This is a typical Asian dish. If you like spicer and some heat, hot pepper like I did. Plus for more flavor, I added a little soy sauce and sauchon wine.
Super simple dish to make. I added shredded cabbage along with shredded carrots. Pure comfort food. Great recipe.
This recipe is simple, but tasty. I made it exactly as written. It has plenty of flavor. I think this recipe is so versatile that next time I’m going to add hot pepper to it.
It was absolutely amazing, the only thing I added was mushrooms. Fun to make and delicious. My compliments to the chef
Family loves this, including my picky older child. When I mention I am making this, he gets excited. Add more chicken and extra helpings of the vegetables, and everyone is happy! Recommend. Make sure you set the chicken aside for a bit before cooking!
All the family, babys and kids liked this. Taste like chow main. I did put an extra clove of garlic in and used packet mixed store fry veg. Just did veg chow main. Mixed all the sauce ingrediance together, sire fryed the veg, added the cooked noodles and sauce
had to use Teriyaki sauce and fish sauce. thought i had the right stuff, but it still turned out great. can’t wait to make again with the right ingredients
We doubled the recipe and added teriyaki marinade for the chicken. Added mushrooms and made our own oyster sauce. Delicious !
Loved it. Tastes just like wonderful, refreshing restaurant quality chow mein. I definitely will make again. Only change was I added more snap peas.
Delicious! Only I added a can of baby corn to enrich the healthy flavour. Added extra oyster sauce on my own serving as well, which increased the salty taste. Additionally, I used a whole zucchini instead of half, and peeled them to create zoodles. Tricks the tongue into believing beautiful greens are extra carbohydrates! Next time; however, I would prefer to saute my green onions with the rest of the vegetables, since it is not my preferred taste as a raw garnish. Definitely would cook this dish again!
I doubled the recipe and I diced up two thick pork chops as I didn”t have chicken! I used the veggies that I had: onion, green onion, carrots, cabbage, our first zucchini from our garden and extra garlic. I also used Sesame Oil for stir frying everything. It was wonderful! My husband called it “World Class”!
This was ok for us. No one should take my reviews as reality as my husband hardly ever likes anything. We wonder make it again.
Did not have any thawed chicken but I had pieces of fish which worked just as well. Did not have bok choy but used a fennel and added mushrooms. Did not have chow mein noodles but had flat spaghetti. All worked just as well. Drizzled sesame oil on top of final dish.
Made this this and it was easy and delicious!
