Asian Garlic Chicken Lo mein-An easy Chicken Lo Mein recipe loaded with spicy marinated chicken and vegetables.

We love Asian food but especially noodles! Everytime we plan to eat outside, my first choice is always either Thai or chinese food.We have been eating Chinese food since our childhood as Chinese food captured Indian food market a long time ago.Whenever my sister and I used to go out with our parents to any resturant, We always ordered Chinese food. Hot and sour soup, Chili chicken, chili Paneer and Chowmein were  on the top of our list. Still my mother’s favorite is Chili panner and Manchurian. I keep trying different variations of chinese food at my home and some of them are in my blog also.

I recently tried Asian garlic chicken Lo Mein which is quite similar to chicken chowmein. First I marinated the chicken in chinese sauces and then fried it and then tossed it with some vegetables and then I added flat noodles to make Asian Garlic Chicken Lo Mein.

Noodles-I used Flat noodles for this recipe, but you can also use round noodles to make Chicken Lo Mein.
Chicken I used boneless chicken thighs, but of you like chicken breasts, you can used them too.
Vegetables I used fresh carrots, cabbage, bell peppers, onion and garlic. For garnish I used spring onion greens. You can also add mushrooms, baby corns, broccoli or any other seasonal vegetable of your choice.

The process of making Asian Garlic Chicken Lo Mein is divided into 4 simple steps.
1. Preparing the noodles.
2. Marinating the chicken.
3. Frying the chicken.
4. Tossing the spicy garlic chicken with vegetables and noodles.
There is also a fifth step- Garnishishing and then devouring 😀
