Ingredients
Scale
- boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- char siu sauce
- fresh egg noodles
- bell peppers
- bok choy
- carrots
- sesame oil
- green onions
- olive oil (optional substitute for sesame oil)
- hoisin sauce (for homemade char siu sauce)
- honey (for homemade char siu sauce)
- soy sauce (for homemade char siu sauce)
- five-spice powder (for homemade char siu sauce)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine 1/4 cup of char siu sauce with the chicken thighs. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the fridge for more flavor.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and caramelized. Remove from the pan and let it rest before slicing it into thin strips.
- If using fresh noodles, cook them according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside. If using dried noodles, boil them in salted water until al dente.
- In the same pan, add another splash of oil. Toss in your diced bell peppers, sliced carrots, and chopped bok choy. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
- Add the cooked noodles to the pan with the vegetables. Pour in another 1/4 cup of char siu sauce and toss everything together to coat the noodles evenly.
- Finally, add the sliced char siu chicken to the noodle mixture. Stir everything together for another minute until heated through.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and a drizzle of sesame oil. Enjoy your homemade Char Siu Chicken Lo Mein!
