Ingredients

• 12 oz lo mein noodles
• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or tofu for a vegetarian version)
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or sesame oil)
• 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
• 2 medium bell peppers, sliced (use a mix of colors)
• 1 large carrot, julienned
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp ginger, minced
• 2 tbsp curry powder
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce (or vegetarian alternative)
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 tsp sugar
• 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cook the lo mein noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. If using tofu, cut into cubes.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken (or tofu) and cook until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the sliced onion, bell peppers, and carrot. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly softened.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan and stir-fry for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Sprinkle the curry powder over the vegetables, stirring well to coat everything evenly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, coconut milk, and sugar. Pour this mixture into the pan and stir to combine.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken (or tofu) to the pan, along with the cooked noodles. Toss everything together to coat the noodles evenly in the sauce and distribute the vegetables and protein.

Step 9

Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until everything is heated through and the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 10

Remove from heat and garnish with green onions and cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Curry Lo Mein!
