This one is a complete original that I conjured up as I went along, so bear with me :) I decided to spice up some left over chicken fingers with a chinese favorite of mine. So I'll cut to the chase and get down to the recipe.
First, I threw together a sweet and sour/spicy sauce: 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tbsp white wine or rice wine vinegar, 1/8 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce. (you can eyeball the ingredients to the consistency and taste you like). Wisk together until smooth and set aside.
1.) I always start with what takes the longest- so start a pot of boiling water for the lo mein noodles.
2.) Then prep the vegetables you would like to toss into the lo mein. I used what I had on hand in the pantry: corn, peas, carrots, onions, and bamboo shoots. (chop the carrots and the onions into small pieces)
3.) Warm some olive oil in a large skillet or wok. add vegetables and begin to saute.
4.) While the vegetables are cooking, cut the chicken fingers into large bite size pieces. Put into a large bowl and drizle with about half the sweet and sour/spicy sauce. Toss the chicken bites until lightly coated.
5.) When noodles are done add to vegetable mixture and pour in some soy sauce. (Enough to cover the noodles but not soupy). Stir
6.) Add chicken to the noodles and vegetables and pour over the rest of the sweet and sour/spicy sauce. Mix thouroughly. Cook until chicken is warm.
Spoon into a bowl and serve :)
