Teriyaki Chicken Chow Mein

Chicken Chow Mein has a very spotty reputation.  It’s been years since I’ve had any at a restaurant. However, from what I remember, the chicken tended to be rubbery, the vegetables were always overcooked and the noodles totally dominated the dish. Not anymore with this amazing Teriyaki Chicken Chow Mein.

This Teriyaki Chicken Chow Mein is loaded with tender, succulent chicken and vegetables, and the perfect amount of noodles. It’s amazing.

Ingredients

For the Teriyaki Chicken Chow Mein, you need chicken, vegetables, noodles and sauce.

  • The Chicken: I like to use a boneless, skinless chicken breast trimmed of all fat. You could always use chicken thighs. However chicken thighs tend to be somewhat fatty.
  • The Vegetables: The vegetable portion of the Chow Mein is very forgiving in that you could use different combinations. I like to use onions, carrots, celery, broccoli and cabbage.
  • The Sauce: The sauce couldn’t be more simple. It’s bottled Teriyaki Sauce flavored with fresh ginger and garlic. I like to add a bit or corn .starch for thickening.

Ingredients for Teriyaki Chicken Chow Mein

Preparing The Ingredients

To start the prep I cut the chicken crosswise into 1/4-inch slices, and then cut the slices into 1/2-inch pieces. Then, I marinated the chicken in some Teriyaki sauce mixed with fresh grated ginger, minced garlic and corn starch.

Marinating the chicken

I covered the chicken and placed it in the refrigerator for about an hour.

For the vegetables, I cut the onions and broccoli into bite-sized pieces and shredded the cabbage. Then, I julienned the carrots and celery. 

Next, I combined the remaining Teriyaki Sauce with corn starch and set it aside.

Finally, I cooked the noodles in boiling water for about 3 minutes. After three minutes, I drained the noodles and set them aside.

Making the Teriyaki Chicken Chow Mein

I started by heating some vegetable oil in my wok over medium high heat. Once the oil was hot, I added the marinated chicken. I cooked the chicken, stirring often until it was done. This took 3 to 4 minutes. 

Cooking the chicken

I removed the chicken from the wok and added a bit more oil.

Below is a composite video showing how I made the Teriyaki Chicken Chow Mein.

First, I added the onions, celery and carrots to the wok (Video 1) and cooked them for about 3 minutes. Next, I added the broccoli and cabbage (Video 2) and cooked the vegetables for around 4 minutes.

After that, I returned the chicken to the wok (Video 3) and stirred to combine everything. Finally, I added the cooked noodles and poured on the Teriyaki sauce/corn starch mixture (Video 4).

I tossed to combine all ingredients. Then, I cooked Chow Mein for another couple of minutes to ensure that everything was hot and well combined.

    It was incredible! The leftovers were just as good. You may not remember, but I got the egg roll recipe from a Chinese place in the food court of one of the Tallahassee malls, probably 35 or more years ago! It’s still good after all these years.
