Servings: 6
Ingredients
- ¾ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup unseasoned rice wine vinegar
- 1 ½ tablespoons grated fresh ginger
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 ½ cups water
- 4 (3 ounce) packages of ramen noodles, broken into large pieces, seasoning packets discarded
- ½ small head of green cabbage (about 12 ounces) cored and sliced thin or shredded on a mandoline
- 4 ounces shredded carrots
- 1 tablespoon Safflower oil or other neutral oil
- 8 ounces mushrooms white button, baby bella, or shiitake, cleaned and sliced thin
- 3 scallions white/light green parts and green parts separated and sliced thin
- 1 ½ teaspoons sesame oil
- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken Roasted or store-bought rotisserie
- Toasted sesame seeds optional
- Sambal Oelek optional
Instructions
- Simmer soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, sugar, and cornstarch in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, whisking often, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer half of the soy sauce mixture to a large bowl and reserve. Add water to the saucepan with the remaining soy sauce mixture and return to a boil. Add ramen and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 4 minutes. Off heat, stir in cabbage and carrots. Cover and keep warm.
- In a 12-inch non-stick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and white/light green scallion slices, and sauté until mushrooms are golden brown, about 5-8 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the chicken and sesame oil, stirring until heated through.
- Transfer chicken and mushrooms to bowl with reserved soy sauce mixture and toss to coat. Transfer noodles to bowl with chicken and mushrooms and toss until thoroughly combined. Divide Lo Mein among bowls and garnish with green scallion slices and toasted sesame seeds. Enjoy!
Notes
You can substitute the cabbage and carrots with a 16-ounce bag of coleslaw mix.
