A dish is filled with food, with Chicken Lo Mein

Chinese New Year is February 16th this year so I decided to make one of my girls' favorite Chinese take out menu items: Chicken Lo Mein. I never made it at home before and I'm not sure why because it's so easy to make.

It's probably because we live outside of NYC and we get some pretty tasty take out so why bother?

Chicken Lo Mein

I do have to say that when we're in Florida and craving Chinese takeout, the restaurants just don't compare to up north so I'm glad I have a back up I can make when I'm there.

This recipe is a great way to use leftover chicken or you can even one of those store bought rotisserie chickens.

Once I decided to make this recipe,  I started to look at what foods  are commonly eaten during Chinese New Year and found that there are 6 lucky foods.

What are 6 Lucky Foods to Eat During Chinese New Year?

  1. Noodles = Happiness & Longevity
  2. Dumplings & Spring Rolls = Wealth
  3. Tangynam (Sweet Rice Balls) = Family Togetherness
  4. Niangao (Glutinous Rice Cake) = Higher Income or Status
  5. Tangerines & Oranges = Fullness & Wealth
  6. Fish = An Increase in Prosperity

Chicken Lo Mein

Since I'm making a noodles dish this year, I'm hoping for happiness and longevity(especially since I just turned 50 last week!)

How do you make Chicken Lo Mein?

To make this recipe you'll ned spaghetti, cooked chicken, vegetables (I used garlic, mushrooms, carrots, spinach and snow peas) and the sauce made with soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, ginger and Sriracha.

Start by cooking the spaghetti according to package directions, rinse and set aside. I just so happened to have leftover roasted chicken, but if you don't have any chicken that is already cooked; you can boil a boneless chicken breast until it's cooked through.

Once the chicken is cooked, dice it into small, bite sized pieces.

Next, it's time to make the sauce by mixing all of the ingredients together in a small bowl; then set aside while you sautĆ© your vegetables in a large hot skillet or wok (I cooked the vegetables with a little oil for about 2 minutes).

Finally, add the chicken, cooked pasta and sauce to the skillet and mix well with tongs to make sure everything is coated.

I added a bit too much Sriracha when I made mine, so my kids added a little more soy sauce on top of their portions, but they loved this homemade version of Chicken Lo Mein.

I really enjoyed it myself because you can control how much sodium is in it by not adding unnecessary MSG or by using low sodium soy sauce. To make this meal gluten free, use gluten free spaghetti and gluten free soy sauce. ~Enjoy!
