- ½ tsp sriracha or hot sauce (optional)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp cornstarch

Instructions
- Step 1: Cook the lo mein noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, rinse the noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process, and then set aside.
- Step 2: Cut the chicken into strands.
- Step 3: Add 1 Tbsp of oil and 1 Tbsp of butter to the pan. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken and season with salt and pepper. Leave the chicken alone to cook for a couple of minutes before lightly stirring.
- Step 4: Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and set aside.
- Step 5: Add 1 Tbsp of oil and 1 Tbsp of butter to the pan and add the carrots and peppers. Saute lightly until the vegetables are cooked. Add in the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant.

- Step 8: Garnish with green onions and enjoy!
Notes
Rinse the cooked lo mein noodles under cold water to prevent overcooking and sticky noodles. Cut the chicken into strands against the grain. Keep leftover noodles in the fridge, stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
