Original GF Paleo Vegetarian

These sweet and savory noodles, with a little spice from fresh ginger, will change the way you look at lo mein. They were featured in 2018 and are packed with far more flavor than the standard take-out version. This time around we're adding coleslaw mix for a bit more substance and texture.

Make

Heat a wok with first part of cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and saute until chicken is cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Set chicken aside and return wok to heat.
Add second part of cooking oil and then broccoli. Saute until broccoli is cooked through (add a splash of water and cover with a lid if you’d like the broccoli more tender), 3 to 4 minutes.
Add bell peppers, garlic, and coleslaw mix and saute until peppers are starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
Pour sauce over vegetables and bring to a simmer.
Stir chicken, noodles, and cashews into stir-fry. Toss everything well to combine.
Top lo mein with lime juice, sesame seeds, and cilantro. Enjoy!
