This Chicken Lo Mein Recipe – Easy, Satisfying, Delicious, and Comforting…!

So, let’s talk about comfort food today…We all have our own Comfort Food Haven! It usually consists of dishes from our native cuisine and may extend to a few from other cuisines too. They become an integral part of our life; be it a day when you are not in a good mood / unwell, or while away and miss your home n family, or even just lazy on a weekend and longing to cook a quick meal. Apart from Indian dishes I do have my collection of comfort foods, especially the ones which I can cook in 30 minutes or less on my lazy days. And among those, Asian recipes take the top spot! In India, we are so familiar with Asian recipes like stir fry noodles, fried rice, momos, & manchurian recipes, although the preparations differ mainly from a spice stand point with lots of pepper, vinegar and some soya sauce added, to make the Indianized versions of them complete. And if you didn’t know, in India these dishes are a major attraction at road side eateries too.

I am a big fan of Stir fry noodle recipes; be it Indianized, Lo Mein or Pad Thai, I just love it! This Chicken Lo Mien recipe is one of my favorites which I keep on repeating often. I can confidently say that this is the easiest foolproof recipe of Chicken Lo Mein, and all it takes is just 30 minutes to cook.  The sauce in this recipe is a Star, and you should now seriously consider skipping the Chinese takeouts and make your own Chicken Lo Mein at home with this simple homemade sauce. It is flavorful, light, slightly sweet, and the best part of all – like any Asian recipe, you can modify it with your choice of veggies and protein. (Check Notes)

Pro tip: Start preparing your noodles in a pot parallelly while you cook chicken and veggies in a wok/pan. While everything is cooking, prepare the sauce too in a separate bowl. That’s a Superman’s work, I know, but this can save you time as everything comes together easily and all you need do in the end is it to toss all four (chicken, veggies, noodles, sauce) and Enjoy…!!

Cheers, Happy Cooking…!
