Description

This Gluten Free Chicken Lo Mein is a delicious twist on the traditional favorite, combining tender chicken, colorful mixed vegetables, and chewy rice noodles all tossed in a savory, gluten-free sauce. Perfect for a quick and healthy weeknight dinner that satisfies cravings without gluten.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 200 g rice noodles
  • 1 chicken breast, sliced
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, cabbage, bell peppers)
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Sauce

  • 3 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (gluten-free)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp sugar

Garnish

  • Green onions for garnish


Instructions

  1. Cook the rice noodles: Prepare the rice noodles according to the package instructions, typically by soaking or boiling until tender but still chewy. Drain well and set aside to prevent clumping.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken breast and cook until fully cooked through and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir-fry garlic and vegetables: Add the minced garlic to the pan with the chicken and sauté briefly until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Then add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry until they become tender yet crisp, approximately 4-5 minutes.
  4. Add noodles and sauce: Toss the cooked rice noodles into the pan with the chicken and vegetables. Pour in the gluten-free soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and sprinkle the sugar evenly over the mix.
  5. Toss and combine: Stir and toss all the ingredients together until the noodles are well coated with the savory sauce and everything is heated through evenly, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve immediately while hot and flavorful.

Notes

  • Always check labels to ensure all sauces used are certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
  • For extra variety and nutrition, add mushrooms or broccoli to the vegetable mix during stir-frying.
  • Adjust the seasoning by increasing or reducing the soy and oyster sauces or adding chili flakes for a spicier kick.
