Equipment
Method
- First, make the lo mein sauce. Whisk together the cornstarch and dark soy sauce until smooth and then add in the remaining sauce ingredients. Take about a tablespoon of the sauce and toss with the chicken to coat evenly.
- Then, heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil, in a wok on high heat. Once heated, stir in the garlic and onion for about 30-45 seconds. Add in the chicken, cooking for about a minute before adding in the vegetables. Cook the vegetables until the chicken has been fully cooked. Once the chicken is fully cooked, add the lo mein noodles, lo mein sauce, and water. Toss everything together thoroughly. After everything is evenly coated with the lo mein sauce, add the scallions. Serve hot, garnishing with additional scallions is optional.
