Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chicken Chow Mein with Fresh Vegetables.
Step 1
To start your delicious Chicken Chow Mein, grab a large bowl and whisk together soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 2
Toss in the chicken strips, ensuring they are fully coated in the marinade.
Step 3
Cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to allow those flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 4
While the chicken is marinating, take a small bowl and mix together chicken broth, oyster sauce, and sugar.
Step 5
Set this flavorful concoction aside for later.
Step 6
Next, bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.
Step 7
Add the chow mein noodles and cook them for about 4 to 5 minutes, just until they are tender yet still firm.
Step 8
Once cooked, drain the noodles and give them a quick rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and keep them from getting mushy.
Step 9
Now, heat some vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 10
Add minced garlic and sauté it for about 30 seconds until it becomes fragrant and fills your kitchen with a wonderful aroma.
Step 11
Then, introduce the marinated chicken strips to the skillet.
Step 12
Cook and stir for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the chicken is beautifully browned and no longer pink in the center.
Step 13
Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate, letting it rest for a moment.
Step 14
In the same skillet, toss in chopped bok choy, diced zucchini, sugar snap peas, and carrot.
Step 15
Stir and cook for about 2 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften while retaining their vibrant colors.
Step 16
Now it’s time to bring everything together! Return the cooked noodles and the chicken to the skillet, and pour that savory broth mixture over the top.
Step 17
Cook and stir for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring everything is heated through and well combined.
Step 18
Finally, serve your Chicken Chow Mein hot, garnished with a sprinkle of chopped green onions for that perfect finishing touch.
Step 19
Enjoy this delightful dish that’s sure to impress family and friends alike!.
