Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 8 oz spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup snap peas
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the onion, bell pepper, and snap peas. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Return the chicken to the pan, then add the cooked spaghetti and sauce mixture. Toss everything together until the noodles and chicken are evenly coated.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, swap the chicken for tofu or additional vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or baby corn.
- To add spice, increase the red pepper flakes or include a dash of sriracha.
- Try using different noodles like egg noodles or udon for a twist on the classic Lo Mein.
