Chicken, Veggie & Lo Mein Stir-Fry

When my husband and I were dating, stir-fry is one of the dinners we often made for each other. He never uses a recipe, and I have a terrible memory, so I am writing it out! We always make this a little different depending on which veggies we have, but this is the general idea of what we do. We have been using the Mann's Family Favorites California Stir-fry Vegetables because it's a good amount or veggies for 2 people. Sometimes we add more veggies to the stir-fry, like mushrooms. Sometimes we also use jasmine rice instead of lo mein noodles. We've tried Chinese noodles and Udon noodles as well. This amount typically feeds both of us with some leftovers. Last night I made it just for myself and got 4 dinners out of it.

After making this a few times in a large frying pan and having trouble fitting everything in it, we purchased the Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless Steel 12" Stir-Fry Pan. This wok is spacious and comes with a lid (most others we found did not include a lid). It's easy to clean too. You can find woks at places like Home Goods and TJ Maxx as well. It also helps to use a wok paddle to stir everything together. It really works better than any other utensil when cooking in a wok!

If you're looking for a new easy meal to make for yourself or your family, give this a try!

Cut the chicken and marinate in the teriyaki sauce for at least 30 min or overnight.

Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan and cook chicken.

Boil half of the package of noodles according to package directions (or the whole package if you prefer more noodles).

Once chicken is cooked, add veggies to the wok. Add more marinade if needed. Cover for a few minutes until veggies are cooked through.
