Main Ingredients

  • 8 oz gluten-free lo mein noodles (or rice noodles) Use high-quality gluten-free noodles.
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced thinly
  • 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (like bell peppers, carrots, and snap peas) Feel free to adjust with seasonal vegetables.
  • 1/4 cup gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil For cooking the chicken.
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening) Optional if you prefer a thicker sauce.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions, chopped, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cooking Noodles

  • Start by boiling water in a large pot. Once boiling, add in the gluten-free lo mein noodles and cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Cooking Chicken

  • In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Adding Aromatics

  • Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Incorporating Vegetables

  • Toss in the mixed vegetables. Stir-fry everything together for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Combining with Noodles

  • Add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Drizzle the gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil, and, if desired, the cornstarch mixture over the top. Toss everything together to ensure the noodles are well coated in the savory sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Serving

  • Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.

Notes

For meal prep, make a larger batch and store it in the fridge for quick meals. To make it spicier, consider adding sriracha or red pepper flakes during cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Freeze for up to 2 months if necessary.
