Toss Noodle Mixture
Boil lo mein noodles until tender, drain and toss with 1 tbsp oil. Thinly slice chicken and toss with soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil.
Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Stir-fry seasoned chicken 4–5 minutes until browned, then remove. Sauté minced garlic briefly.
Add shredded carrots, sliced bell peppers, and cabbage to the pan. Sauté over high heat for 2–3 minutes until vibrant and tender-crisp.
Return chicken and noodles to wok. Pour in stir-fry sauce mixture and toss over high heat for 2–3 minutes. Finish with green onions.
Serve piping hot directly from the wok. Garnish with additional sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, or chili crunch for extra heat.
This versatile stir-fry easily adapts to proteins like shrimp or crispy tofu, and works wonderfully with leftover crisp garden vegetables.
