I used fresh chow mein noodles, but you can use spaghetti if you prefer. SMART POINTS = 18

Ingredients

• 1 lb refrigerated chow mein noodles or 8 oz dry thin spaghetti
• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, sliced into ½-inch thin strips
• 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
• 3 cups thinly sliced cabbage
• 1½ cups matchstick carrots
• 1 bunch asparagus tips
• 4 green onions, chopped
• 1½ teaspoons minced ginger
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
• 1 Tablespoon Hoisin sauce (or more to taste)
• 2 teaspoons coconut palm sugar (or sweetener of choice)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions

1. Prepare noodles according to directions on package if making spaghetti. If using the fresh chow mein noodles cook them last.
2. In a bowl whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar and sesame oil, set aside.
3. Heat oil in a wok or large and deep non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Add chicken and cook until chicken is halfway cooked through, about 4 minutes (outsides should be white).
5. Add cabbage, carrots, asparagus, green onions, and ginger and saute until veggies are tender and chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes, adding in garlic during last minute of cooking.
6. If using fresh noodles, remove the chicken and veggies to a warm plate, add 1 tablespoon oil and 2 tablespoons water. Add the noodles and fry to 4 minutes.
7. Return the chicken and veggie mixture to the pan. Add the sauce and combine until he noodles are completely coated.

 I can still, after all these years, cook something I have never tried to make at home before.  I also discovered that over the years, I am more adventurous.  I crave taking on a new cooking challenge.  Plus my taste buds have become more developed.

Something as simple as this chow mein. We eat it all the time when dining at the local Chinese restaurant, but I have never attempted to make it at home.  It’s not a difficult dish to make. It’s just one that we always left to consume when dining out. TI mean, really, look at the vibrant colors in the vegetables

It didn’t surprise me when I texted my girl to see if her and the boyfriend wanted some chicken chow mein.  Her response was “Is it homemade”?  Yes, I tell her.  With that she states, in that case, yes we will come for chow mein.  That definitely put a smile on my face and our bellys full and satisfied too.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
