Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by thinly slicing the boneless chicken breast. Toss it with cornstarch for a crispy outer layer.
  2. Chop your vegetables uniformly and mix the sauce ingredients in a bowl for easy access.
Cooking
  1. Boil the fresh lo mein noodles according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 3-5 minutes. Drain and toss them with sesame oil.
  2. Preheat your wok over high heat until it begins to smoke. Add vegetable oil.
  3. Cook the sliced chicken in batches for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and about 80% cooked through. Remove from the wok and set aside.
  4. Stir-fry the julienned carrots for about 30 seconds. Add bell peppers and napa cabbage, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes. Finish with minced garlic and ginger.
  5. Return the chicken to the wok along with the cooked noodles and sauce. Toss together for about 2 minutes.
  6. Plate your chicken lo mein immediately while hot. Optionally, broil for 30 seconds for crispy edges.
